A Personal Welcome
As the pastor at Saint Peter’s Lutheran Church, I would like to personally welcome you to visit us.
I believe that miracles happen at Saint Peter’s:
- Sinners are made holy.
- We mortals are given eternal life
- The Son of God in heaven is present with His grace and mercy on earth.
There’s no more powerful experience on earth, and I want you to experience that.
You are welcome here.
God bless,
Pastor Chris

You can expect a warm welcome, reverent and relevant worship, and Christ-focussed, biblical teaching at Saint Peter’s Lutheran Church.
You will arrive at Saint Peter’s in our narthex – a room outside of our worship area (sanctuary.) Our worship services are held in the sanctuary, upstairs, and our fellowship and education events are usually held downstairs in the fellowship hall.
If you are here for a worship service, an usher will hand you a bulletin, and you can find a seat in whatever pew you like. Our pastor will also often greet you before the service.
Our worship services are about an hour long. You will find them to be reverent but also relevant to our greatest struggles.
You can just show up! There is no need to make a reservation or to call beforehand. We have space for you, and we often have people just show up.
However, you might feel more comfortable if you talked with us before arriving.
Even if you don’t talk with us before coming, you are welcome here.
We have long, cushioned benches with backs on them. We call them ‘pews.’
You are welcome to sit in any pew you prefer. On some Sundays, we may have a few pews in the front reserved for groups observing a special occasion like a baptism.
You are welcome to participate in the worship service to the extent that you feel comfortable. You do not need to sing any hymns or speak the creed or any other responses.
In general, it is polite to stand when the rest of the congregation stands and to sit when they sit, if you are able. However, if you are unable to stand or feel uncomfortable standing for the portions of the worship service when we stand, you are free to remain seated.
If you are not a communicant member of a Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) congregation, we ask that you speak with the pastor before receiving communion at our altar.
We make this request out of love for you and your spiritual well-being.
If you are unable to receive communion at our altar, simply remain seated during the communion distribution.
Our worship services are provided free-of-cost.
We have an offering plate at the entrance to our sanctuary (worship area). If you wish to contribute to our ministry, you may leave a contribution there.
However, do not feel compelled to leave a contribution.
We welcome communicant members of sister congregations in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) to receive communion at our altar.
If you are not a communicant member of an LCMS congregation, we ask that you speak with the pastor before receiving communion.
We make this request out of love for you and your spiritual well-being.
If you are unable to receive communion at our altar, simply remain seated during the communion distribution.
You will see all types of dress at Saint Peter’s – jeans and hoodies as well as dresses and suits.
Yes, Saint Peter’s welcomes children. We have many child-focussed programs like Sunday School, Catechism Class, and Youth Group.
Children are always welcome in worship at Saint Peter’s. We do not hold a “children’s church,” because we want our children to worship with us, so that we can be blessed by their example of faith.
We understand that children can be restless and noisy. That’s okay!
If you feel like you need to step outside to calm your child, however, there is a convenient area to do so just outside the sanctuary.
Saint Peter’s has an onsite parking lot and ample street parking as well.
We have a small restroom on our sanctuary level and also a men’s and women’s room (with changing table) in the basement.
