 Vision & Values

We are a community following Jesus for the sake of the Lowcountry and beyond.

Community

At Saint Peter’s encouraging connection within the community is a priority.  For that reason, we seek to create many opportunities for you to meet others, engage and build relationships.

Formation

At Saint Peter’s we love to encourage disciples of Jesus to grow in their knowledge and love of the Lord. Take the time to check out the Daily Readings, listen to a Teaching or join a Group.  We believe the Holy Spirit works through the Word of God and the people of God to make us more like Jesus.  

Mission

True transformation should lead to a posture of humility and a desire to serve. For us that begins with Saint Peter’s, extends throughout the Lowcountry, and finally reaches our international mission partners in Honduras, Haiti and Costa Rica.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are service times?

Our services are held every Sunday at 9:00 and 11:00a. We also have special services during holidays. Check our calendar for any changes.

Our address is 1307 Porchers Bluff Road in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. The church is set back from the road, so watch for the Saint Peter’s sign at the entrance.

Anglicanism has its roots in the English Reformation, which was a movement that returned the church to a foundation of the Scriptures and the good news that sinners could be justified by grace through faith in Christ. Anglican theology is clearly laid out in the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion. Anglicans are the third largest group of Christians on the planet and our distinct culture can be understood in the Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral.

AJ Sherrill

Serving as Lead Pastor (Rector) in churches across the country, I am thrilled to call the Lowcountry my home.  With 2 Masters in Theology and a Doctorate from Fuller Seminary, I am currently pursuing a certificate in Spiritual Direction in hopes of joining pastors and leaders better attune to God’s voice.

Most importantly, I am a disciple of Jesus, husband to Elaina, and father to Eloise. Least importantly, I am a Michigan Wolverine, thus seldom winning, but often gaining humility.
