About Saint Peter's Episcopal Church
Saint Peter's Episcopal Church, located at 54th and Lexington Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, is a progressive, welcoming community rooted in liturgical tradition, the arts, and social action. The parish serves a diverse, bilingual congregation of English and Spanish speakers and explicitly welcomes people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, immigration statuses, and racial backgrounds. In addition to its iconic modernist Sanctuary—a New York City Landmark featuring a distinctive organ—the church houses Louise Nevelson's Chapel of the Good Shepherd and hosts world-class jazz performances as part of its historic Jazz Vespers tradition dating to 1965. The community is deeply committed to accompaniment in immigration efforts, recovery ministries, and engagement with the city, making it a place of both spiritual renewal and active social witness.
