No parish can operate without the assistance of volunteers. At St Peter's Epping, we rely heavily on volunteers to run and assist with various ministries and groups that make up our faith community.

Being a Christian is more than just a matter of personal faith. Christians are called to live out their faith in a community. Being a volunteer in one of the ministries or groups in the parish is a wonderful way to be actively involved in community life. It is an opportunity to serve one's neighbour in a practical way.

Volunteers across various ministries and groups in our parish display a spirit of generosity, communion, and service. They offer the gifts of their time and talent to serve the community without asking for a return.

There are various existing ministries and groups in the parish.
