We believe there's something at Word of Peace for everyone. There are a variety of worship styles, classes, small groups, events and activities to choose from. We encourage people to be active in church life but there's no pressure to get involved. What We Believe As a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, we believe in the basic principles of Martin Luther's theological teachings. We believe: We are saved by the grace of God alone. We are not saved by anything that we do. Our salvation is through faith alone. Confidently trust God, who in Christ promises us forgiveness, life and salvation. The Bible is the norm for faith and life.
