Our Commitment

All children – regardless of age, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, or ability – deserve a safe space to grow in faith. Everyone who serves at Saint Peter’s will model healthy, respectful relationships and help maintain a community where abuse has no place. These standards protect both our youngest members and those who minister with them.
