Peter's House

Peter's House is an exciting project which is part of the life of the Hull Area Team of Churches. Bringing together a group of young people for a year of shared life and work with, and alongside, our churches, the project offers a unique opportunity to explore questions of vocation and personal spiritual development. 

As well as living a shared life and playing a part in the day to day running of the churches in the Hull Area Team, Peter's House residents have the opportunity to work with community partners, to focus on individual  projects, and to develop a nourishing rhythm of life. 

This one-of-a-kind programme is designed to enable residents to take time to learn about themselves while devoting themselves to a rhythm of prayer and service, all based in the midst of the bustling city of Hull. 

Originally envisaged as an experiment in 'new monasticism', the Peter's House project began in August 2017, when four volunteers from around the world came to spend a year living in a shared house and working with the Hull area churches. Successive years saw the project develop until the restrictions of the pandemic enforced it's temporary closure. 

The Peter's House project went into abeyance in 2020, and was then paused until the recruitment of a new minister and project leader in 2024. A new team is now in place tasked with the development of the project, and it is on track to relaunch in September 2025. 

Keep an eye on this page for more information about the project, including a newly reworded 'community rule' which sets out the purpose of the project, and the way in which it operates. You will also be able to find information here about how you can get involved with, or support the Peter's House project.
