Welcome

Sharing Peace, Learning & Community by the Leland River

Please join us to worship in Leland by the serene Leland River in the heart of Leelanau County. 

We welcome ALL people- those of faith, of no faith, in search of faith, and even those who wander in lost just trying to find Fishtown!

We are so glad you are here!

Welcoming ALL, wherever they may find themselves on their journey of faith, to gather for prayer, worship and learning, in a friendly, loving and welcoming atmosphere is the culture of our community here at St. Peter’s Chapel.

St. Peter’s Chapel is a Christian community of Word, Sacrament and Action. In our services we hear God’s Word, give God thanks for our many blessings, and ask for God’s guidance and help. 

Outside of our services we are:

  • Active Learners: The Interpreter’s Table, Men’s Forum & more

  • Engage with & Contribute to our Local Community: Offer time, talent and contributions to our key neighborhood partners: Leelanau Christian Neighbors LCN and 5Loaves2FishNMI

  • Build St. Peter’s Chapel Community via many Special Events: Children’s Liturgical Arts Day, Men’s Forum, Ladies Night benefiting LCN, Men’s Evening benefiting 5Loave2FishNMI, Annual Season Celebration Brunch, and more!

The Episcopal Church's presence in Leland began in 1908, when services were held in the homes of the vicar and summer residents. St. Peter's Chapel “officially” began in 1964, with approval by the Diocese of Western Michigan.

The beautiful Leelanau Peninsula is enjoyed by all for its peaceful atmosphere, and while living or visiting here, people find time to reconnect with the natural environment, their faith and to be at peace with themselves and the world. Our lovely landscape of fresh water, rolling hills and towering vista’s ever remind us of both the challenges, as well as the opportunities for joy, which attend our baptismal commitment to “die to self and live for others” as we consciously prioritize the needs and well-being of others over one’s own desires and comforts.

We invite you to join our St. Peter’s Chapel Community: Sharing Peace, Learning & Community by the Leland River.
