At St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, we take seriously our Lord’s Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20)! We have been commanded, in light of our salvation through Jesus Christ, to serve God and our neighbor within our various “stations” in life (Matthew 22:36-40). We are called to be faithful children, siblings, and parents. We are called to be faithful and upright in our professions. We are called to serve the world, and the church is an ideal place to achieve this wonderful work! Let us help you get connected to the various service opportunities we provide – to the community and the world – each and every day. We’d love for you to join us!
