The first members of St. Peter's worshipped in a Quaker meeting house near Marlboro, N.J. in 1702. The cornerstone of a simple church on Throckmorton Street was laid in 1771, and later embellished to the more gothic style evident today. The church offers three services on Sundays: a quiet 7:45am service; a family service at 9am with traditional hymns and informal worship songs in gospel, folk, rock or jazz traditions; and a traditional sing and response service at 11am without Holy Communion. A Spanish-language service is available on Saturday nights. In addition to children's and adults' vocal and handbell choirs, the church has a praise band, Peter's Rock. Active in local and worldwide outreach, St. Peter's Episcopal Church is a member of the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey and the worldwide Anglican Communion.
