My name is Larry Peters and I have been privileged to be Pastor of Grace Lutheran Church since 1993. God has continued to bless us with significant growth in numbers and we have seen several projects renew and enlarge our building. To accomodate this growth, we have also expanded our church staff. .

The new facility has deeply affected our ministry. We have a clear entry with wide open space to encourage people to stop, talk, and fellowship. We now have the space to support what has become an extensive music ministry (choirs, chimes, bells, concert series, etc). Every age group has appropriate space for Sunday school and Bible study (Sundays and throughout the week). We have plenty of paved parking spots with designated visitor parking to welcome new people to Grace Lutheran Church.

Grace Lutheran Church is a congregation with a "conservative" theology and a "creative ministry." We take seriously our heritage as Lutheran Christians and believe that our Lutheran identity is a positive asset for outreach. We joyfully use to the fullest the worship resources of our hymnal and liturgical tradition as Lutheran Christians. We gather around a weekly celebration of Holy Communion. We offer regular opportunities for reflection and individual confession and absolution. We encourage each family to invite, welcome, and encourage new people to join us in worship and learn what it means to be a Lutheran Christian. The distinctive nature of our Lutheran identity is shaped by our commitment to the Word of God, to a vital and dynamic sacramental life, to a vibrant musical life in the liturgy, with a concern for the welfare and well-being of the whole person -- all held accountable to the Confessions of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.

We have a mix of people, ages, and many young families with small children. This diverse group helps us to maintain a full liturgical setting for worship which is vibrant without being stiff or rigid. We have gifted staff people to help us welcome so many new folks and care for the special needs of youth and children as well as adults. Because of the nature of the military community in which we live and our modern life in general, we work to bridge the gaps created by a mobile community. Every week people walk through our doors for the first time and we extend a warm welcome in the name of Jesus. We are confident that you too will find a warm welcome and a comfortable home among the people of Grace Lutheran Church.

Gospel centered in preaching and teaching, catholic (small c) in worship, conservative and Biblical in doctrine, and creative ministry -- that is how we see ourselves at Grace Lutheran Church. We hope that you will give us the chance of getting to know you better!
