St. Peter's 140th Anniversary

Click here for a copy of the 140th anniversary brochure which includes a brief history of this historic church and information about the 140th Anniversary appeal for £70,000
Another way you can support the ministry here is through buying and giving cards featuring the church from our Christmas catalogue.

If the ministry in Zermatt has touched your life, please consider giving generously to enable us to strengthen the ministry, keep the building in good repair, and spread the good news to future generations.

Many thanks

If you would like to give to the 140th anniversary appeal (which will be used to help fund the current and future ministry and maintain and improve the buildings - maintaining a chapel in the Swiss mountain climate is an expensive business and ICS's work is funded entirely by donations) you may use the form in the leaflet, call us, or make a donation online where you may also order a copy of A Church in the Alps. Your support will help us maintain this important historic building, and enable outreach to future generations of visitors and local English-speaking residents: donations should be made payable to 'Intercontinental Church Society'. Call us on 024 7646 3940 (+44 24 7646 3940 from abroad) if you would like any more information.

Your support will help us maintain this important historic building, and enable the outreach. We will send you information about ICS’s work regularly, and news of the work in Zermatt.

Alpine Club of Great Britain: 150th anniversary service in St. Peter’s, Zermatt
ICS was delighted to organise this special service for the Club on Sunday 24 June 2007, many of whose past members have worshipped at the Church whilst in Zermatt. Some too are buried there, as several gravestones and plaques mark. The church too has an historic link with the climbing fraternity – one of Edward’s Whymper’s climbing party (Charles Hudson) who died on the descent after the successful British ascent is buried under the communion table.
