About Peace Lutheran
“Your word is a lamp for my feet,
📖 Our Story
Peace Lutheran Church was founded in 1880 by members who separated from Immanuel Lutheran Church in Flatville. The congregation first worshiped in a small wooden building.
After a devastating fire destroyed that building in 1947, the faithful community rallied and rebuilt the current brick sanctuary, completing it in 1948 at 200 W Arnold in Thomasboro.
We are a proud member of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod (LCMS).
✝ What We Believe
We confess the Lutheran faith as revealed in Holy Scripture and summarized in the Book of Concord.
- Grace Alone – We are saved by God's grace, not our works.
- Faith Alone – We receive salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
- Scripture Alone – The Bible is our final authority for faith and life.
Our mission: “Making Followers of Jesus Who Make an Impact for Jesus.”

🏛️ Our Denomination
