St. Peter’s

Evening Worship: 3.15pm each Sunday

St. Peter’s is located in the historic village of Cregneish. The worshipping community at St. Peter’s seek to offer a warm welcome to all people who enter through the doors. We gather on a Sunday afternoon using traditional liturgy from the Book of Common Prayer.

Evening Worship is at 3.15pm each Sunday, except on the 4th Sunday of the month, where all four churches in the Parish come together for a joint service at 11am. On occasion this is changed, so please check the Parish calendar on the right for details.

A little bit of History
The Rev. William Corrin (the Vicar from 1824 to 1859) started church services in a local farmhouse at Cregneish and these continued until the villagers felt that they would like a church of their own.

The foundation stone was laid by Mrs EM Gawne in 1878 (who also donated the land).

A later vicar, the Rev. John Duffield in his book ‘A History of Kirk Christ Rushen’, recorded that ‘the building cost £150 which seems an absurdly small amount until we realise that to the building, the people of Cregneish gave their time and labour”.

During its early years the building served a dual purpose of being the local village school during the week, and holding Church services on a Sunday.

St. Peter’s is the smallest of our churches, seating around 50 people. With its picturesque backdrop and stunning views this makes it the perfect location for small and intimate gatherings.
