9:00 AM: Sunday School and Bible Class; 10:00 AM: Service of the Word 


Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:1)

We are a confessional Lutheran Church. We proclaim that salvation is a gift of God’s grace; that Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, paid the full sacrificial price – His very life – so that we can have the free gift of salvation. We teach that the Holy Spirit works in hearts the blessings of Christ’s salvation. The foundation for such teaching is the Bible.

We are part of the Church of the Lutheran Confession (CLC). We invite you to join us for worship every Sunday!

Peace Thru Christ Lutheran School is a K-8 Christian education program. Our mission is to give students an education for life on earth, life by faith in Jesus Christ, and eternal life in heaven. This education is based on biblical truth and centered on the good news of forgiveness in Christ.
