The church of St Peter & St Paul (better known as P&P) is the oldest building in Kettering. It has stood on the present site for over 500 years, and has been at the centre of community life throughout that time. It is a Grade 1 listed building, and is a fine example of perpendicular architecture. The tower and spire stand 180 feet in height, and house a peal of 12 bells which were restored and re-dedicated in 2004 and are rung regularly on Sundays and special occasions.

The parish has a population of 18,700, and is the largest of five town centre Anglican parishes. As well as regular services of worship, St Peter & St Paul hosts a number of civic events for the wider community, and the church is also available for the sacraments of marriage and baptism to those who live within the parish.

Worship is offered here every day, and three times on Sunday. Our main service is at 10.30 on Sunday morning. You can find more details of our services and weekly events here.

In this parish we believe that Holy Communion is a gift made to all those who are baptised, whether or not they are confirmed. We have many children who receive communion alongside adult worshippers.

For younger children, we have our Lighthouse Corner at the back of the church.

Our monthly All Age Services is usually on the second Sunday of the month, at 10.30am, which our uniformed organisations come to as well.

Music is very important to us at St Peter & St Paul. The choir leads the service on Sunday morning, and once a month Sung Evensong is offered. The choir is open to men and women, boys and girls.

As part of our place in the community, we provide a weekly Food Kitchen, where volunteers provide and serve a nourishing meal for those who might otherwise go hungry.
