Frequently Asked Questions

Why do people come to St Peter’s?

We offer worship in a traditional Presbyterian style with a commitment to good preaching and good music together with a caring fellowship.

Where do members of the congregation come from?

Members of the congregation come from various suburbs around Sydney and not just the North Shore. We also have people from overseas as members of the congregation. Hardly a Sunday goes by without a visitor from overseas worshipping with us. On a Sunday a Japanese, a Korean and a Welsh congregation meet for worship using our church facilities.

Can I get married in St Peter’s?

St Peter’s is a popular church for weddings and we have at least 50 weddings a year. The ambience of the Church together with a sympathetic approach to the wishes of the couple help to ensure a wedding you will remember.

Are children welcome at St Peter’s?

Children are definitely welcome at St Peter’s. We have set aside an area of the Church as a crèche area where parents can be with their children and still be part of the service. We also have Bible story books available for children too young to attend Sunday School. Sunday School is held each Sunday in school term time at 10 am for children 3 and a half years of age and up.

What other activities are there in the Parish?

We have a ladies group, a men’s group, a singing group that gathers for special occasions, a Bible Study Group and are willing to consider other groups as the need arises. The parish also operates an Opportunity Shop at 199 Blues Point Road, North Sydney, which is staffed by volunteers. We also give help to the poor and needy in the community through an on going food collection and the provision of other relief to those who seek our help.
