Who we are

A Lutheran church that is free in Christ.

Peace Community Church is part of the Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC). We are fulfilling Christ’s Great Commission by making disciples of all nations.

Our worship is blended and celebratory, with Bible-based messages that are practical to apply in everyday life.

Casual dress is welcome here. It reflects the diversity of our community, and it is our way of saying come as you are.

What we believe

Our statement of belief

The Bible
The Bible is the inspired Word of God and the sole authoritative source for the church’s proclamation, faith and life.
God & salvation
There is one Creator God. Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit is God’s active presence. Salvation is God restoring a right relationship with Him.
People
We are created in God’s image, fallen through sin, and in need of restoration through Christ.
The Christian life
We live in obedience to God under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, showing charity to one another in community.
The church & sacraments
The church is the people of God, the Body of Christ. Holy Communion is a means of grace.
Christ’s return
Christ will return to judge all humanity.
