WELCOME

We welcome you to St. Peter’s-by-the-Lake, an Episcopal church in Brandon, Mississippi. We invite you to explore our church, either through this website or by contacting us by email (stpeteoffice@bellsouth.net) or phone - 601.992.2691.
 
 
Our church family includes a wide variety of theologies, backgrounds, beliefs, and gifts, and yet we function as one body in the service of Jesus Christ. Our worship style is a blend of traditional Episcopal liturgy from the Book of Common Prayer and some more contemporary elements in music. We value service to other human beings as part of our spiritual lives.
 
The vows we take at baptism urge us to “Respect the dignity of every human being,” and we live that vow by welcoming all persons and by embracing all persons as part of Christ’s body on earth. Please let us know how we can help you. We would love to share our church life with you.
 
Blessings!
The Very Rev. Carol Mead, rector
