Welcome to St. Peters: A Welcoming and Affirming Parish...Following our long-standing, intentional practice, St. Peter's Episcopal Church of Ellicott City, Maryland, extends a warm welcome and an invitation to join us in community and worship to all people who desire to love and worship God, follow the example and teachings of Jesus Christ, and seek loving fellowship with others in His church. We extend this welcome and invitation especially to all who may have particular reason to think that they may not be welcome because of physical appearance, physical or mental disability, ethnic or religious background, sexual orientation, financial circumstance, or past or present sins. We confess that we are not a community already perfected in love. But we want to become more fully loving and welcome into our community all who wish to join us in this endeavor.
