After being used as a warehouse for the remainder of its years, the Baptist Church in St. Peters was torn down in the mid 1990s. Barbara Pratt , who attended services in this church until it closed, clearly recalled details concerning the development and description of the church: My grandfather was involved in the building of the church. The Ministers were stationed in Dundas , but they came here. There was Mr. Walker , Mr. Rand , Mr. Fingly , Mr. Raymond , and Mr. Rand to name a few. The interior was very elementary in a way. There were chairs, no pews, just chairs. There were no stained glass windows. There was an organ and I think there was a little room in back of the pulpit where they (Minister) dressed or Sunday school was held. Lillian Walker played the organ.

To follow the history of the Presbyterian charges that served residents in the St. Peters area, it is necessary to look at the Ministers who have served the St. Peters charges over the years. The Revered McGregor, a native of Perthshire, Scotland , is the earliest recorded Minister to visit the St. Peters area. After finishing his studies at Edinburgh University, he was ordained by the Presbytery of Perth in May of 1786. He left immediately for Nova Scotia and preached his first sermon at a barn in Pictou in July of 1786. He first visited PEI in 1791, and he spent two weeks at St. Peters . During the next thirty years, Reverend McGregor made fourteen trips to PEI , and visited St. Peters several times. It was for many settlers the first * According to Barbara Pratt , baptisms for the members of the Baptist Church took place in Launching at this time. 234 -.
