St Peter’s is the church of Zermatt’s English-speaking residents and visitors. It was built by ICS, we maintain and ensure that chaplains are available to lead Sunday services and meet with visitors in Zermatt. Services are conducted in English. Read more of the history here.
The running of our Zermatt ministry costs about £15,000 a year and is paid for by supporters. If ICS chaplains in Zermatt have helped you and you value being able to worship at St Peter’s, please join the ‘Friend of St Peter’s Zermatt’ scheme. Your prayers and donations will keep worship and outreach going. Regular gifts are especially helpful for planning and stability. Please sign up today.

Meet The Current Chaplain
John and Gillian Fulton will be in the chaplaincy from 24th March - 7th April
John grew up in Kent and has worked in churches in London, France and East Anglia. He has served as a seasonal chaplain at Zermatt twice before, and is looking forward to renewing his acquaintance with the church and community. His father climbed the Monte Rosa in 1927, so this gives him a great respect for the mountaineering tradition of the area.
Gillian, who comes from Islington, has taught almost all age groups in her teaching career. In recent years she has developed her interest in all kinds of textiles, in particular the history of knitting, with its many different regional and national styles.
We have 3 grown-up children, and 4 grandchildren.
Our favourite Bible verse: ‘The goodness and loving kindness of God our Saviour appeared… that we might… become inheritors in hope of eternal life’ (Titus 3.4-7).
