One Family – One Vision – One Campus

Coming Up

All members of Peace Lutheran Church are encouraged to attend our twice-annual All-Congregation Voters Meeting at 12:30pm Sunday, Oct. 18, in the Adams Campus (church) sanctuary. The One Family – One Vision – One Campus initiative vote on the agenda is the most important vote in decades for the future of Peace Lutheran Ministries, so your attendance is strongly encouraged. The meeting will be livestreamed; however, per our constitution, only Peace members 18 and older physically in attendance may vote. We pray we will see you there!

Looking Back

In the late 1990s, God led Peace Lutheran to His vision and plan for ministry in Saginaw Township. A master plan for a variety of ministries was developed at that time. That master plan included spaces for school ministry, senior living, worship and community engagement. Led by the Spirit, Peace embarked on the first part of that plan by constructing the K-8 school at the intersection of Shattuck Road and Lawndale Road. In 2016, Peace was, once again, guided to expand its day school and, especially, the Early Childhood Center ministries, adding infant and toddler care to its existing preschool offerings.

In recent years, Peace has come to realize that our family has been “living” apart from each other with its school and worship ministries located on two separate campuses. In November 2024, the Peace Congregation voted to adopt a vision of recombining those ministries onto one campus, our Lawndale location. Since that time, many congregational, staff and leadership discussions have been held to glean information about the current functions and future needs of our ministry in order to create plans that reflect a combined family of ministries that reach a community searching for such.

Our updated master plan, floor plans and renderings represent concepts of how Peace can accomplish its vision of “One Family” on “One Campus.” None of these drawings are intended to represent the final product, rather to show what can be and the direction we’re heading with initial designs.
