The Parish Church of Saint Peter and Saint Mary is part of the Church of England and has stood in the centre of Stowmarket for over 700 years – although there has probably been a Christian Church here since 637AD. Worship has continued ever since so that the people of the town can get to know God better.

Saint Peter and Saint Mary’s Church is made up of people who are Christians. We believe that God shows Himself to us in this world and we see that very clearly in the Bible. Christians are people who realize that God loves them and so they want to love God too, Jesus can help us do this and He shows how we can care for other people too.

When people put their trust in Jesus and become Christians God gives them a new kind of life which begins now and goes on forever and ever and ever and ever and ever…….
