Celebrate Christmas at Peace Church!

Being together makes Christmas even better! We are so excited to celebrate this special Christmas season with you and your family!
We have activities and events planned throughout the month of December – and we can't wait to see you soon.

Advent Prayer Services - December 3, 10 & 17, 2025

As we enter the holy season of Advent, you are invited to pause, breathe, and prepare your heart for the coming of Christ. Join us for a peaceful Advent Prayer Service — a time set apart to worship, pray, and reflect on God’s Word in the midst of a busy season. Through Scripture readings, guided prayers, and moments of stillness, we will draw near to the hope and promise of our Savior. Whether you come seeking rest, renewal, or simply a quiet space to be with God, this service offers a gentle invitation to slow down and listen.

The Advent Prayer Services will be available December 3, 10 and December 17, in person only, in the Sanctuary at Peace.

Carols & Chili - December 14, 2025 at 5p

You and your family are invited to step into the magic of the season as we gather to partake in the age-old tradition of Lessons and Carols followed by an incredible and competitive Chili Cookoff. This event is a harmonious blend of the angelic voices of carolers and the profound narrative of the Nativity story and some of the best chili in town.
What is Carols & Chili? Carols & Chili is an event for all ages, especially families with children, that begins with the singing of Christmas Carols and the reading of the Nativity Story to ready our hearts for the Christmas season. After the Carols part of the event, we join together in our Fellowship Hall for our annual Chili Cookoff!

Christmas at Peace FAQs

What worship styles does Peace offer?

We offer both traditional and modern worship styles.

Our traditional service is at 8:30a on Sunday mornings and features historical Lutheran liturgical elements, as well as classic hymns led by our organ and choirs.

Our modern service is at 11:00a on Sundays mornings and features modern praise songs led by praise team. This service also includes some liturgical elements that you will find at our traditional service, presented in a more relaxed, casual format

Is there a dress code for worship?

No. From flip-flops to dress shoes, we have it all. Be relaxed or dress it up—we'll be happy to see you.

Do I need to bring anything?

Nope. Just yourself. You’re welcome to bring a Bible, but we do provide Bibles in each of our pews that can be utilized during worship.

What can I expect on a Sunday morning?

You can expect services to last roughly one hour and feature singing, a time of prayer, Scripture reading, the Lord’s Supper, as well as a sermon.

Our traditional service also incorporates various historical liturgical elements and follows the same format each week.

Our modern service follows a more relaxed, casual format with communion before the sermon time.

What do I do when I first arrive?

If this is your first time to worship at Peace, welcome! We know it can feel overwhelming, especially when you may not know anyone or the traditions of a new church. Our goal is to help you feel welcomed when you join us for worship.

When you first arrive, make sure to park in our East Parking Lot and come in the doors under the car port. As you arrive, you will meet one of our amazing greeters. If you have any questions, ask them! They are there to help.

Many at our church gather before and after the service in the lobby, while some go into the church early to prepare their hearts and minds for worship. Do what makes you feel comfortable. 

The organ prelude indicates the traditional service is about the start, while the modern starts with a welcome from the pastor, along with announcements.

Will there be coffee available?

Yes. Let’s be honest... this an important element of many people’s morning routine. We have a coffee bar located in our lobby for you to enjoy. Coffee is available before the start of both worship services and after our traditional service.

Will I have to sing?

Peace has a strong tradition of singing hymns/songs in worship. You are invited to join in singing when you feel comfortable.

What do you offer for Children during worship?

We encourage parents, children and families to worship together. We have a special time in each worship service for children. We call this our "Children's Message." During the "Children's Message," we invite children forward to the front of the Sanctuary for a message that was prepared to help them understand the main point of the sermon and Scripture reading for the day. 

As you enter our Sanctuary, make sure you grab a Kids' Worship Bag. Our Worship Bags are filled with activities, coloring pages, and a book to help children focus on the topic of the weekend and to learn more about Jesus and His love for them.

Our Nursery is staffed and available for children infant - 3 years each Sunday, 8a -12:15p. Our Nursery is located on the Southside of our campus, facing the playground out back. 

At Peace Lutheran Church, all volunteers within Children's & Student Ministries are required to submit and pass a background check, and go through Child Safety Training. Volunteers are also given ministry specific training to serving in Children's Ministry throughout the year. 

Is the Sanctuary comfortable on Sunday mornings?

Yes. Our sanctuary pews are padded on the seat and back, providing comfort to each attendee throughout worship.

Our sanctuary tends to run a bit chilly, especially with colder weather, so if you get cold easily, you might consider bringing a jacket or wearing long sleeves.

What do I do with my offerings?

You can bring your offerings with you on Sunday morning and place them in the baskets (up front in the Sanctuary) as you come forward for communion.

You can also setup online/recurring giving on our website if you’d prefer to do things digitally.

What is the Church Calendar Year?

We follow the common Christian Calendar year as way to remember the birth, life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ.

The Church Year begins each year with Advent, occurring on the four Sundays prior to Christmas. After celebrating the 12 days of Christmas, we move into the season of Epiphany, followed by Lent marked by Ash Wednesday. Lent concludes as we enter Holy Week which culminates in the Easter celebration. The Easter celebratory season continues for five Sundays and concludes with three special celebrations: the Ascension of our Lord, Pentecost, and Trinity Sunday.

What festival Sundays does Peace observe?

At Peace, we regularly observe the following festival (celebratory) Sundays: Epiphany, Palm Sunday, Easter Sunday, Ascension Sunday, Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, Reformation Sunday, and All Saints’ Sunday.

Depending on the preaching calendar, other Sundays are also formally observed: Transfiguration, Christ the King, etc…

Regardless of the sermon topic, our liturgy includes elements of each of the festival/celebratory Sundays to serve as a reminder of where we are at in the Church Calendar year.

When do I sit, stand, or kneel?

You will notice that some sit and some stand, and they may do so at different times. All generally stand (as physically able) when we sing, affirm our faith in one of the Creeds, share the Peace (greeting one another as a sign of Christ’s love) and during the Gospel reading. During the prayers, some will stand while others will kneel. Please feel free to choose whichever is more natural for you.

The only time people kneel is during communion as they approach the communion rails. However, this is not a requirement. You may kneel or stand as you are physically able.

You will also be directed by the screens in the Sanctuary when to stand and when to sit. We want you to feel comfortable. Do what is best for you!

I am curious about Baptism.

At Peace, we believe that baptism is a Sacrament, meaning, a sacred act. This sacred act is done by God in our lives. Baptism is God's promise to the individual of the forgiveness in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, of faith and mercy of God, and of eternal life. Through the waters of baptism, God calls us His beloved and redeemed people. Because baptism is an act of God, and His promise made to the individual, we believe anybody can, and should be baptized, including, adults, children and infants!

To learn more about our beliefs regarding baptism, please take some time to watch this video:  

How often does Peace observe the Lord's Supper?

We observe the Lord’s Supper/Communion at every Sunday worship service, as well as most of our special service throughout the year. The only services where we do not serve communion regularly is Good Friday and Thanksgiving Eve.

As a visitor, can I participate in the Lord's Supper?

Yes, if you hold the same beliefs regarding communion as we do.

To learn more about our beliefs regarding communion, please take some time to watch this video: 

What do I do at Communion?

When it’s time to celebrate the Lord’s Suppers, an usher will come forward and direct each pew to the communion rails. As you approach the rail, you may choose to stand or kneel. Simply form the shape of a cup with your hand and the wafer will be placed there; likewise the wine will be handed to you.

I have trouble with mobility. Can I still participate in the Lord's Supper?

Yes. When the usher comes to the row you are sitting in, let them know you would like communion brought to you. Once everyone else has taken communion, one of our pastors and Elders will come to where you are seated and give you communion.

I have dietary concerns. Can I participate in the Lord's Supper?

Yes. Along with our standard wafers and kosher wine, we offer Gluten-Free wafers and non-alcoholic wine. Simply let the Pastor and Elder know as you approach the communion rail.

We’d love to talk with you about any questions you may have regarding Sunday morning.
After the service, feel free to approach one of the pastors in the lobby as you exit our sanctuary.

If you’d like to setup a time to talk during the week, you can call the Church Office: 817.284.1677 and speak to our Office Manager to schedule a time to meet with one of the pastors.

BAPTISM FAQs

WHO CAN GET BAPTIZED?

We believe that anybody can be baptized, no matter their circumstances in life. We believe that baptism is the work and promise of God in a person’s life, and that through baptism, His Spirit works faith in their heart. Therefore, because it is a work of God, it does not depend on the person’s ability to understand how God works through the water and His Word, but instead on God’s ability to work faith in their heart by His Spirit, and through the teaching of the community of His disciples that are around the individual being baptized. This means, at Peace, we baptize individuals at any stage and development in life.

WHY SHOULD I GET BAPTIZED?

Baptism, we believe, was commanded by Jesus, to His disciples in Matthew 28:18-20. In that command, Jesus promises the gifts of the Gospel, namely faith, forgiveness, and eternal life, by placing the name of God upon the person being baptized, the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In Mark 16:16, Jesus says, “…whoever believes and is baptized, will be saved,” also conveying the truth that in baptism, one receives the gifts of salvation, namely faith, forgiveness and eternal life. Baptism is a very real experience where one can look back on the event of their baptism and remember that God worked in their life, promised them love and the gifts of salvation, and placed His name upon them, calling them His beloved child. Baptism is a gift of God that we encourage all people to receive.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I GET BAPTIZED?

Baptism is the work of God in a person’s life, where He promises to give the gifts of salvation, namely faith, forgiveness and eternal life. We also believe, in baptism, the Spirit of God begins, and in those whom faith is already present, continues, growing faith in the individual and transforming them as His beloved child and disciple.

At Peace, we do not typically practice immersive baptism. More often, we sprinkle or gently pour water upon the head of the person being baptized because we do not believe the amount of water matters, as much as the Word of God used while pouring water upon the individual. With the belief and understanding that the Word of God is what is at work in baptism, not the amount of water utilized, as the community of disciples of Jesus at Peace, we are open to further discussion about pouring water versus full immersion for those whom this is an obstacle to their being baptized.

CAN I BE BAPTIZED IF I AM NOT A "MEMBER" OF PEACE?

Yes. Baptism is the work of God in a person’s life, not necessarily a covenant of membership. At Peace, when a person is baptized, unless otherwise discussed before, they are considered a “member” of Peace so that we can walk with them, encourage them in their faith as a disciple of Jesus, and continue to provide opportunities for them to grow and learn as a disciple of Jesus. But, if the individual is moving away, or is already a part of a community of disciples of Jesus, we certainly respect this, and rejoice with them in their baptism, and encourage them to continue to grow in the community of disciples Jesus calls them to.

I WAS BAPTIZED AT MY LAST CHURCH, DO I NEED TO BE RE-BAPTIZED TO BE A MEMBER OF PEACE?

Because we believe it is God’s promise made through the act of baptism, and we believe that God never turns back on His promises, we respect and honor baptisms that have previously in a person’s life if done in the manner in which Christ instituted baptism, namely with water and in the name of the Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. If you are concerned about the validity of your previous baptism, please do not hesitate to reach out to our pastoral staff for further discussion.

ARE THERE SPECIFIC DATES THAT ARE UNAVAILABLE FOR A BAPTISM?

Yes, the following dates are unavailable for in service baptisms.

  • Palm Sunday
  • Easter Sunday
  • Confirmation Sunday
  • Reformation Day
  • 1st Communion Sunday
  • All Saints Day 
  • Christmas Eve
