Vision and Mission

Our mission is to share the love and hope of Jesus with everyone we come into contact with.

Our vision is to be a local church community who contribute to the lives of our Barossa community in word and deed, as we gather together to receive God’s good gifts of grace, and he sends us out to fulfil our vocations at home, school, work and among family and friends. We carry the good news of forgiveness and new life on offer to people by God’s grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ.

Each year, we gather around a Home Text as a way of intentionally listening to God and each other as we discern his direction of our life as a local church and as encouragement to all involved in our various activities and groups.

We endeavour to engage people who participate in worship services in personal and relevant ways using the ancient and modern heritage we share centered around the good news of Jesus Christ as we gather in his presence, receive his gifts of grace and respond in thanks and praise.

We gather for worship in a few different ways, which you can view at Worship Times.

St Petri has a rich heritage of music in both traditions and at major festivals like Christmas and Easter. Music is drawn from various traditions, sometimes in combined services.
