The Mission of Peace Lutheran School is: “As followers of Jesus Christ, our purpose is to strengthen each other in Him so that we share His love and Good News with everyone.”

"Making Disciples" will be our theme for the upcoming 2010-11 school year at Peace! A "disciple" is someone who learns from a teacher, follows that teacher, lives out what they have learned and also shares what has been learned with others. That is a wonderful description of what we are striving to accomplish at Peace Lutheran School. We are making disciples of the greatest teacher of all, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He teaches through His holy Word, the Bible. There we learn from Him and grow in our faith, but we also live for Him and look for ways to share our faith in Him. We look forward to the blessings which God has in store for each of our students as they grow as His disciples.
-Pastor Dave
