St Peter’s is a warm, lively and inclusive church in the open and liberal catholic tradition of the Church of England.

Standing in the very centre of Bournemouth, we aspire to be the focus of Christian worship and our doors are open to all who live, study, work and visit here. St Peter’s welcomes the community to engage, participate and benefit from St Peter’s Church, its beautiful Chapel of the Resurrection and the historic grounds. Alongside renovating and restoring this wonderful Victorian building, we seek to make the building fit for modern and diverse community purposes, creating a significant safe space to transform peoples lives and the wider community through art, culture, education, literature, music and philosophy.

Our doors are open every day, usually between 10am and 4pm and inside we provide a safe and peaceful haven to all who enter.

We welcome anyone seeking quiet prayer, and there are many opportunities throughout the week to join in with others. On Sundays there are services at 8am and 10am and also on Thursday at 12.15pm. On Monday-Friday there is Daily Prayer held in the choir stalls. This is a short, ten minute time for reflection and everyone is welcome to join whenever in town.

Please come and explore for yourself!
