For over three hundred years people have climbed this high hill within the Great Valley seeking God in this truly historic place. The means of travel have changed, but the purpose of the journey, and what seekers have found here, have not. May you find God here and be found by Him.

MUSIC MINISTRY

Our music: one expression
of gratitude for our Faith.

A chapel over 250 years old with nearly flawless acoustics, five sacred choirs for all ages, a 10 rank organ which perfectly fills the space . . . these are contributing characteristics of the music at St. Peter's Church in the Great Valley. And all to the glory, and worship, of our Lord Jesus Christ.
