About Peter
Peter comes to Christ Church after thirty years serving as the Director of Music at St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church in Mountain View. While in that role, Peter helped plan and lead liturgy, supported office administration, and assisted with nearly every aspect of the life of the congregation. He also created many opportunities for children to participate in music ministries and helped lead music for the St. Tim’s preschool. Having discerned a call to Children’s Ministry, he joined Christ Church in September, 2026 to lead our mixed-age Sunday morning Children’s Church. Peter is a warm, creative, and experienced liturgist eager to build community and connection in Christ.

Fun Fact about Peter:

When I was 5, I was pretty sure I would be a musician when I grew up.

If we had an office talent show, I'd wow everyone with my juggling talent.
