Welcome to the NEW Web Site of the Parish Church of St Peter de Merton with St Cuthbert, Bedford

We are a parish church in the Diocese of St Albans and part of the world-wide Anglican Communion - a member of Churches Together in Bedford and of Bedford Council of Faiths.

Our church has been a place of prayer for more than one thousand years - a church where people continue to worship God, to grow in faith and to serve the local community.

Mission Statement:

We at St. Peter's church recognise an important distinction between religious needs and spiritual needs.

We believe that everyone has spiritual needs – searchings, longings, questions about what it is to be human and what life is about – but that not everyone seeks to answer these in a religious way, or by belonging to a church.

However they are expressed, we consider these deep spiritual needs to be valid and important in their own right, and we believe it is central to our role as a  community-committed church to help people to voice their questions about life and its meaning and to seek answers to them, whether these answers take a ‘religious' form or not.

if their search leads people into our worshipping community, they will find a welcome, but our concern for them and our openness to them is unconditional.
