Welcome to the Peru Church
We are a community of faith and fellowship nestled
in the mountains of Southern Vermont.
Since 1846, our church has been a warm and welcoming presence in the heart of our Peru, Vermont community. We are an inclusive gathering of friends and neighbors who seek spiritual connection and fellowship, and who support one another throughout all seasons of life.
Join us for inspiring worship every Sunday at 10:00 AM—either in our historic sanctuary or online. The Peru Church is a welcoming and affirming community of faith, proudly affiliated with the United Church of Christ (UCC). We embrace all people—regardless of religious background, race, sexual orientation, or whether you come with strong faith, deep questions, or both.
Music is woven into the life of our church, from timeless hymns and folk-country guitar to the rich harmonies of our church choir. Whether you're singing along or simply listening, you’ll find music here that lifts the spirit and connects the heart.
Our pastor, Rev. Steve Longley, is an ordained UCC minister and graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary with a warm, down-to-earth style. As a licensed psychotherapist, he brings compassion, insight, and care to both preaching and pastoral support.
