Summary

Sometimes one word can mean two opposite things—like “buckle” (to fasten or to collapse) or “clip” (to cut or to connect). The word “prodigal” is the same. It can mean recklessly wasteful or extravagantly generous. In Luke 15, we see both: a son who wasted everything and a father who gave everything. As Tim Keller points out, this story is really about the father—our God—who is radically generous with grace and love. So the question is: which kind of life are you choosing? One that chases empty things or one defined by a Father who calls you His own? (Talk by Joshua Ott)

In a world that can be transient and isolated, we seek to be an authentic community. A place where you can have conversations, share meals, and develop true friendships--a place where you are free to be yourself without fear of rejection or shame. But we aren't simply a community center or social club--we are a community grounded in Jesus Christ. Saint Peter's is a place where you can connect to Christ and learn what it means to follow him. And as you do so, we're confident that transformation will take place. And with that personal change comes change in our homes, our neighborhoods, and our communities. This, to us, is the work of grace. Community. Connection. Transformation. That's what Saint Peter's is all about.
