lgbtq+ in the church

In the first century, Jesus of Nazareth inspired a movement. A community of people whose lives were centered on Jesus Christ and committed to living the way of God’s unconditional, unselfish, sacrificial, and redemptive love. As Episcopalians, we believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.


We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death and resurrection saved the world.


We have a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; women and men serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy cooperate as leaders at all levels of our church. Leadership is a gift from God and can be expressed by all people in our church, regardless of gender, sexual identity or orientation.


We believe that God loves us all – no exceptions.

St. Peter's YOuth Explorers

A Safe space to wonder about god

We promote visible representation of LGBTQ+ individuals in our events and leadership roles, creating safe spaces for connection and expression. By actively engaging LGBTQ+ youth in community activities and encouraging allies to advocate for their rights, we strive to foster a nurturing environment where they can thrive and be their authentic selves.

Every year, we gather our youth to represent St. Peter's at the Delaware PRIDE Festival.
St. Peter's youth, along with other Episcopal youth groups in Delaware, come together to celebrate and share in the joy of the festival. We would love for you to stop by our booth and join us in this wonderful experience!
