St. Peter’s was formed in 1954 with meetings held at Wembley Public School and became a single-point charge in 1958, with the church structure being built on York Street in 1960.
A devastating fire destroyed much of the building structure in 1972 and reopened in 1974 with a new sanctuary.
A new two storey addition to the west end of the church, including an elevator, was completed in 2010.
In 2013, St. Peter’s was the first church in Sudbury to become an affirming church committed to the inclusion of 2SLGBTQIA+ persons and their families.
Also in 2013, St. Paul’s United Church, Sudbury amalgamated with St. Peter’s.
The congregation currently has approximately 120 active congregants with an average attendance of 60-80 people on a Sunday morning.
St. Peter’s has been a vibrant family church with a keen sense of service to the Sudbury community and beyond.
