About Us
We are your Parish church in London Colney and are one of three hundred and thirty five parishes that make up the Diocese of St Albans.
At almost two hundred years old, St Peter's has been serving the needs of London Colney for a long time and is proud to be able to continue to do so into the 21st Century.
We welcome everyone, whether to worship, to take part in events or simply if you are in need of a cup of tea and a listening ear. You can always contact one our Ministry team on 01727 568552.
Who We Are In Ministry
Our new Vicar, Revd Tom Smith, was Collated, Inducted and Installed on 8th June 2024. Tom joins our Ministry team made up of Associate Priest, Revd Philip Green and our Lay Reader, Rosie Rawlinson. Together they bring a wide and varied leadership to our worship, together with a wealth of church and life experience that equips them to meet any Pastoral challenge that may present itself. Do join us at one of our regular services. There are two held on Sundays - 8am and 10am, with a quieter midweek service at 10am on Wednesdays. You can contact us on 01727 568552 to arrange a call if you would like to speak to either Philip or Rosie personally.
Who We Are As Community
St Peter's Church is very much part of the community and village life in London Colney. As your parish church we serve all in our village irrespective of whether you are a regular worshipper or someone looking on. We meet you wherever you are at in life, showing no partiality, but being here for all, to accompany you through life's joys and challenges. We are an inclusive church to all in our village and beyond, offering a warm welcome with our door being open to each and every one of you. We work alongside our partners in the village, including our Parish Council and others, to bring welcome and opportunity to all, for our lives and our village to flourish.
Who We Are As Volunteers
Like any church, St Peter's couldn't run without the help of people who are willing to give up some of their time to help keep our church operating efficiently. We run regular, informal social gatherings to help bring people together, take Home Communion to those who are housebound or too unwell to come to church or simply arrange visits if mobility is an ongoing problem. Children and young people aren't forgotten either and we have different groups providing Bible and life based teachings to differing ages, all in a 'non-churchy' setting. Our aim is to make these gatherings engaging and full of fun - after all, this is what makes sharing time together worthwhile!
St Peter's Story
Church shouldn’t take place behind closed doors – God, the Bible and the Gospels are for everyone, whether they are sitting in the pews or not.
So our story is really about people – you, in fact. It doesn’t matter who you are, your age, what job you do, whether you are retired, married, single, bereaved, between jobs or whether your circumstances are dictated by health problems. Everyone who comes through the doors – for whatever reason – is welcomed and each one is motivated to come by their own unique circumstances.
St Peter’s cares about everyone and anyone and would like to hear your story too. So why not come along and tell us what it is?
Our Vision and Identity
Our vision is a simple one – to spread the Good News of the Gospels. Of course, in the 21st Century, not everyone feels that God has relevance in their lives but here’s the thing – He most certainly does.
Everyone will tell you that they have a spiritual side to their character and they are right. Sales of self-help books top the best sellers lists as people search for the true meaning to their lives. Healing crystals, Guardian Angels, Earth Angels – even mindfulness – all point towards the real pull of ‘other worldliness’ that almost everyone feels.
St Peter’s knows this and has a vision of ending this search by helping bring clarity to the Big Questions. Come and challenge us to bring that clarity into your life – after all, what have you got to lose?
