About Us
|
St Peter-in-Ely is a Proprietary Chapel within the Church of England and Diocese of Ely. We are a very friendly church where a warm welcome awaits. We share the vision of our founder, Catharine Maria Sparke, and are thankful to our early benefactors who made the church a place of colour and beauty. Today, our congregation is drawn not only from the riverside area of Ely in which it stands but also from other parts of the town and the neighbouring villages.

The church is owned and administered by the Trustees of St Peter's Church, a charity registered with the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales (Charity Number 1059178). Chapel Wardens and the Church Congregational Committee, an elected sub-committee of the Trustees, have a shared responsibility with the Trustees for the running of the church and its mission. They also assist with the pastoral and social life of the church.

Sunday services are always followed by light refreshments in St Peter's Rooms and a small number of social events for the congregation are held there throughout the year.
St Peter's Rooms are also available for hire as a resource for the whole local community. Please follow the link for more details. |
A team of retired clergy currently leads our worship every Sunday and it is hoped to appoint a dedicated Priest in Charge for St Peter's in 2019.
