Peace in Puyallup


Welcome

Over a Century of Peace
A landmark in the Puyallup Valley, Peace Lutheran Church was founded by German settlers in 1898.  The building was built in 1892 by Ezra Meeker (himself a Unitarian), and we purchased the building in 1900.  Today we are a growing and active congregation celebrating our rich heritage and embracing the future.

Lunch with a Friend
Lunch With a Friend
We here at Peace have provided hot lunches on Saturdays to anyone and everyone who shows up (for going on 15 years) as a part of the greater Puyallup community's efforts to care for those in need.  We continue to desire to be servants of our sisters and brothers who are homeless, underprivileged, or just in need of a hot meal and conversation. 


Our Services are Sunday mornings at 8:15 and 10:45.  Unless noted on the schedule, all services serve Communion.
Sunday School is offered on Sunday mornings from 9:30 to 10:30 (during the school year).

Thanks be to God for our many blessings this past year as we look forward to our lives together in the Puyallup valley in 2012!

Welcome!!!

     Considering joining us for worship? 
              Here are some common questions!


Where is the we located?
Peace Lutheran is located at 214 E Pioneer Ave, Puyallup, WA 98374. Click here for directions and a map.

What time does worship start?
Sunday services are at 8:15 and 10:45 a.m.  There is an Adult Education hour between services (directly following the important-to-Lutherans “coffee and goodies” after the first worship service ends).  During the school year, we offer Sunday School.  A Nursery is available from 8am until noon.

What should I wear?
There is no dress code, and people are comfortable in anything from jeans and a t-shirt to a suit and tie. 

What is the worship style?
Our worship style varies from Classic Organ to piano-led worship to a contemporary group including guitars, brass, flute, piano, bass and several vocalists.  We rotate our style of worship partly in an effort to maintain a singular church family.  Check here for the worship schedule and further explanation.

What about my children?
As was mentioned above, there is daycare available on Sunday mornings as well as seasonally on Wednesday evenings during Peace Choir and Confirmation.  We have an active Youth group for both Jr High and High School aged young adults.  Check out our activities wall in the Gathering Space!  Bill Haines works very hard to coordinate our Youth group, and we love him for it!

What about weddings?
Yes, we are the “white church on the corner of Pioneer and 3rd,” so we receive countless requests for the use of our space for marriage ceremonies.  Click here for a link to Non-Member wedding information.

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


Wedding Questions?

We get many requests for weddings to be held here at Peace, and while we are not always in the office to answer them right away, we do have a pamphlet for wedding guidelines.  Without further ado, here it is:  **CLICK HERE**
