The Bishop
The Bishop is the pastor and ecclesiastical authority of the diocese and is responsible for the defending and teaching of the faith. The bishops of the Church are the successors to the Apostles of Christ assuring the continuation of the Church through confirming the faithful and ordaining the clergy.
Our bishop is the Right Reverend Matthew A. Gunter, XII Bishop of Wisconsin. He was consecrated bishop for the Diocese of Fond du Lac in 2014 and became Bishop of Wisconsin as the dioceses in the state were reunified in 2024. St. Peter's welcomes the Bishop among us from time to time as his episcopal visitation schedule allows.
The Rector
The rector is the pastor of the local church. He or she is responsible for the worship, theology, and ministry in the parish.
​
Currently, the rector position at St. Peter's is vacant. During this time of transition and the search for our next rector, St. Peter's is being served by supply clergy and an interim priest, Father Jonah Heiser.
