Welcome to St. Peter's Church
Fairfield. Welcome
to the website of St. Peter’s Anglican Church in Fairfield, Buxton. We are a
traditional Parish Church serving the needs of the people of this Church of
England Parish on the outskirts of the Spa Town of Buxton. Our aim is to worship
God and to proclaim his Son, Jesus, making him known to those amongst whom we
live. We try to meet the pastoral needs of the congregation and of the
diverse community in which we are set. Our
Sunday worship is Eucharistically centred, with a monthly family-orientated
service. We provide the full range of occasional Services. Our activities
reach out to as wide a range of age groups as possible and we have strong
links with our C of E Controlled School – Fairfield Junior School. If
you would like to come and worship with us you will find a warm welcome. If

Christian faith there will always be someone to talk to. Appointment of Priest in Charge The
