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 is responsible for the worship, theology, and ministry in the parish. Our rector is the Reverend Father Paul S. Coey. Father Coey was called to St. Peter's in 2021. He has a background in parish and chaplaincy ministry and personal interests in history, archeology, and film.
St. Peter's is called to a life of discipleship, ministering to the least of these, and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. Your priest is here to care for you and equip you for this ministry. Drop in to meet our priest or his beloved pup Hildegard.
