Whether you’re new to church, returning after a long time, or just curious, we’re glad you’re here. This is a space to learn more about our mission, what Sundays are like, and how you can get connected.
Dear Friends,
You are welcome at Saint Peter Lutheran Church! God’s love is a gift. In that gift of love God meets us as we are, and because of that, we seek to welcome one another in the same way.
You are welcome here whether you are young or old, single or partnered, raising a family or living on your own. You are a beloved creation made in the image of God embodied uniquely in you. You are welcome across differences of race, culture, economic circumstance, physical or mental ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, and political perspective.
You do not need to have everything figured out. You do not need to leave part of yourself at the door.
We are an intergenerational community that gathers to worship, learn, serve, laugh, grieve, and grow together. We will not always get it right, but we trust in a God whose grace is greater than our failures and whose love continues to shape and connect us.
At Saint Peter, we seek to live our mission: welcomed into God’s love and sent into God’s world to reflect Christ.
Come as you are. Bring your questions, your gifts, your doubts, and your story. We would be grateful for the opportunity to welcome you into our life together.
In Christ,
Pastor Dan Burris
Saint Peter Lutheran Church
You will enjoy warmth and hospitality as you walk in the door. Families are welcome to worship together!
After worship, stay for Sundays at Saint Peter - a lineup of food and fellowship, SongFest singalong, and Faith Formation education for all ages.
The Sunday morning (online or in-person) worship service begins at 9:00 a.m. It lasts approximately 60-75 minutes. The service adheres to the traditional liturgy, a four-fold pattern that includes Gathering, Word, Meal and Sending. Each week we gather, encounter God’s Word, share a meal at the Lord’s table, and are sent into the world. Within the rhythmic, familiar four movements of this ancient liturgical rite are the components that make up a worship service.
During service, you will experience readings from the Old and New Testament, responsive prayers, a sermon, songs of praise, and an open communion table to which all are invited. At Saint Peter, volunteers of all ages are invited to lead us in worship as lectors, communion assistants, and altar guild. A mix of traditional congregational hymns, choral presentations, and contemporary band songs musically weave the liturgical elements together.
All are welcome - come as you are!
There is a loving place for you here, whether this is your first or thousandth visit!
Saint Peter Lutheran Church revolves around two key convictions: We are welcomed, and we are sent. We are welcomed into God’s love, just as we are. We are sent into God’s world to be a reflection of Christ.
Just as we are – with no need to prove ourselves or earn God’s love (and with no fear of being judged by others).
Because we are all God’s creation and equally loved by God regardless age, sex, nationality, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, physical or mental ability, political stance or theological perspective.
Into a living relationship with Jesus Christ and each other.
Into the peace that comes from knowing God through Christ.
Into this particular intergenerational community of faith we call “Saint Peter Lutheran Church.”
To be a reflection of the love received from God.
To offer ourselves in service to those who are in need.
To reach out with compassion to those who are in pain.
To be a steward of the earth and an advocate for those needing justice.
To live generously with what God has entrusted to us.
