Our Mission

Building a community of faith by God’s grace.

This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
-John 15:12

Our Vision

St. Peter’s Evangelical Lutheran Church will show our love for God, our love for neighbors, and our desire to make disciples.

Because we love God, we will:
  • Worship and pray together.
  • Help each other develop a meaningful relationship with God.
  • Model our faith to children, youth, and others.
Because we love our neighbor, we will:
  • Serve one another, especially the unseen and underserved within our congregation.
  • Support those in need in our Lancaster community and in the world through our ties with the Lower Susquehanna Synod and the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America.
  • Love others boldly in a diverse and changing world, deepening relationships with our neighbors.
Because we desire to make disciples, we will:
  • Seek to teach God’s love through adult education, our programs for children and youth, and our preschool.
  • Offer small groups that connect God’s Word to our everyday lives and create communities of faith.
  • Share the good news in creative and authentic ways with the St. Peter’s family and with neighbors in our community

Cemetery

St. Peter’s Lutheran Church has several different options for your final resting place. Please consider taking a ride by our beautiful cemetery located on 62 Valley Road, which includes a cremation garden, or visiting the Memorial and Meditation Garden, located on the side of the church facing Delp Road.
