Our summer schedule is in effect. There is a single service each Sunday at 10 a.m. during June, July and August. There is no Christian Education during the summer months. St. Peter's Parish Church is an active and growing Episcopal church, located in a rural setting in beautiful New Kent County, approximately halfway between the Williamsburg & Jamestown historical areas and Richmond, the capital of Virginia. Our Rector is the Rev'd Dr. S. Paul Rowles.
Tours of the church must be arranged in advance. We are not staffed to provide tours unless scheduled in advance. For further information contact the church office. How to find us
driving directions.
St. Peter's Parish was established in 1679. Construction on the present church building began in 1701 and was completed by 1703. A parish with a rich and interesting history, we have been a church home to countless people through the years, including some as well known as George and Martha Washington, who were married in this parish (and possibly in the church building itself) in 1759. Robert E. Lee and his family worshipped here and helped rebuild the church after the War Between the States. The parish has known peace and prosperity, war and poverty, happiness and tragedy. Far from being merely a shrine to George and Martha Washington, St. Peter's is now an active and thriving parish with many activities for all ages.
