St. Peter's Church is the Church of England Parish Church for Thurston in the County of Suffolk. We are a living inclusive church where everyone is welcome. For us, being a member of a church family is not just about Sundays but it is about being a supportive community all year round.
We warmly welcome children and adults for baptism and we look forward to helping couples plan their weddings in our beautiful church. St Peter's is also the place where local families gather to say farewell to their loved ones in funeral services.
St Peter's is part of the Benefice of Holy Innocents at Great Barton and Thurston St Peter's.
