Volunteering at St Peter’s

 

  • Opportunities to join in, have fun, grow faith, and meet new people! 

 

  • What is God calling you to do?

 

Our life together as a church family relies on us all sharing our time and talent to support and serve our whole community. Offering what we can helps us as we worship, nurture, and take action together. On this page you’ll find ways you might like to get involved in our life together at St Peter’s.

During scheduled  services Who? Anyone!

 

Safeguarding

We work hard to ensure St Peter’s is a safe place for everyone. When you volunteer, we make sure you have a clear role description and ask for a short character reference from someone who knows you well.  For some roles, where you may be alone with children or vulnerable adults, we require a DBS check, and we’ll help to get that in place. We encourage and offer access to training for these roles. Contact us to find out more.
