Our Welcome

In response to God’s unconditional love for all people, we at Peace Lutheran Church affirm that every person is a child of God. All believers and seekers regardless of your age, ethnicity, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, relationship status, abilities or economic circumstance are a part of the body of Christ. We recognize that there are differences among us and believe that we can love alike even though we may not always think alike. We invite you to join us in our faith journey toward greater love and understanding.

A Season of Transition

What Are We Actually Doing When We Think About the Cross?

As Holy Week nears, the author reflects on its deep meaning, inspired by Luther’s 1519 meditation on Christ’s Passion. Luther urges honest self-reflection, seeing ourselves at the cross—not as villains, but as flawed humans. This reckoning leads to hope, as the resurrection shows that grace is greater than our burdens. The author invites us to fully embrace Holy Week’s grief and joy, transforming our lives.
