In today's diverse spiritual landscape, many people in the Roanoke area are seeking a church that offers authentic Christian teaching while remaining accessible to those from various religious backgrounds. While St. Peter Church and School is proudly Lutheran, we understand and appreciate the journey that leads many to seek non-denominational worship experiences, and we share many of the same values that draw people to these communities.
The Heart of Christian Community
What draws people to seek a church home often transcends denominational labels. At its core, the search is about finding a place where faith comes alive, where ancient truths meet contemporary life, and where community feels authentic and welcoming. Located just minutes from Roanoke at 15701 Cleveland Gibbs Rd in Northlake, TX, St. Peter Church and School has created exactly this kind of environment.
Bridging Traditional Faith and Modern Life
One of the most common reasons people seek non-denominational churches is their desire for worship that feels both authentic and contemporary. At St. Peter, we've found a unique way to address this need through our "Ancient Word / Modern Music" approach. Every Sunday at 10 AM, both in-person and online, we offer worship that honors traditional Christian teachings while speaking to contemporary hearts and minds.
Our services combine the timeless truths of Scripture with modern musical expressions, creating an experience that feels both grounded and relevant. Whether you're coming from a non-denominational background or exploring Christian faith for the first time, you'll find our worship style accessible and engaging.
A Community That Grows Together
Modern Christians often seek churches that offer opportunities for genuine community connection and spiritual growth. At St. Peter, we've fostered an environment where people can develop authentic relationships while deepening their faith journey. Since our founding in 2006, we've grown from a small church plant into a vibrant community center, all while maintaining the close-knit feeling that many seek in non-denominational settings.
Our growth has been purposeful and community-focused, leading to:
- The establishment of our Preschool
- Construction of our welcoming Barn facility
- Development of an elementary school (opening 2026-27)
- Partnership with Greater Northwest Soccer Association
- Multiple ministry opportunities for all ages

Our commitment to community service is evident through:
- Multiple successful church plants in nearby communities
