Over a Century of Peace
A landmark in the Puyallup Valley, Peace Lutheran Church was founded by German settlers (and built by Ezra Meeker) over 100 years ago. Today we are a growing and active congregation celebrating our rich heritage and embracing the future.

Our Online Forums

We Lutherans like to think that we've always been at the forefront of technological advances.  Well, at least we started out that way with the use of the printing press back in the 1500s.  These forums are our attempt at jumping back on that "forward thinking" horse.  Come register and take a look at our fledgling online community!

Mustard Seeds Logo
Mustard Seeds is the name that we have chosen for our grant project to use the money Thrivent Financial has awarded us.  Together with Thrivent, we have hit the ground running and are excited to move forward as servants of Peace.  We participated in a breakout session at the SWWS assembly, and a day-long workshop for Mt Rainier conference churches on October 11th.   If you're curious about any of this, email the office at office@peacepuyallup.org or call and speak to Mark at (253) 845-8819.

20 Years At Peace
On October 19, we celebrated Pastor Kempe's 20th anniversary here with us.  We reflected back on his service to us as a spiritual leader, a mentor, a teacher, a family man, and a friend.

Pastor's 20th



Music at Peace

We offer a variety of liturgical music settings here at Peace, and they aren't always at the same time slots every Sunday, though our more traditional settings are at 8:15 and our most contemporary settings are at 10:45.  

We have three music leaders:  Joan Linden on organ, Jill Burch on piano, and the Cornerstones music group.  At this time, Joan Linden plays the ELW 3 setting, Jill Burch plays the ELW 3 and Now the Feast settings, and Cornerstones play the Liturgy of Life and Followers of the Way settings.

ELW 3 is a setting in the Evangelical Lutheran Worship book which you may recognize as Setting 1 from the Lutheran Book of Worship (the worship book before the ELW).
Now the Feast is a worship setting written by Marty Haugen and inspired by Holden Village.  
Liturgy of Life is a contemporary setting that we've been doing at Peace for many years.  Some of the music we've been using in this service was coincidentally selected to be a part of ELW setting 8.
Followers of the Way is an original setting written by Mark Smith, our Cornerstones director.  It is intended to be a reflection of the history of our worship at Peace.

In addition to our liturgies, we have a Peace Choir, a handbell choir (Resounding Joy), children's choirs (Noah's Choir and Cantabile), and a seasonal Brass Choir.  Cornerstones is also open to anyone over 14 who wanting to learn aspects of leading worship through music and voice.

Our Mission Statement

We, the people of God at Peace Lutheran Church, seek to:
LEARN of God and the world through study of the revealing Word;
SHARE of our selves, our time, and our possessions;
CARE for others and the creation God has given us;
TELL of God's love, promises and purpose.


We do this as we commit ourselves to God, asking for God's help and blessing

Our Services are Sunday mornings at 8:15 and 10:45.  Sunday School is offered on Sunday mornings from 9:30 to 10:30 (during the school year).
