Our Fellowship...
Peace Ev. Lutheran Church is a member congregation of the CONCORDIA LUTHERAN CONFERENCE, which
itself is not a church but an organization of local churches bound together in true, God-pleasing fellowship
based on unity of faith and confession. God did not institute or ordain the existence of synodical bodies, nor
did He give them the rights and privileges that churches enjoy, nor did He place them and their governing
officers and boards on a par with or above the local congregation with its ministry of the Word and
Sacraments. Our congregations are members of the Conference in Christian liberty, working together with
cherished brethren in other localities to carry out in a more efficient manner what would be more difficult for an
individual church to accomplish on its own. Our Conference maintains a seminary training program to prepare
well-qualified pastors for the future; publishes a bimonthly magazine, the Concordia Lutheran, as well as
Scripturally sound Sunday School materials; seeks out those who may truly share our Scriptural position in
doctrine and practice by means of its mission program and through its standing committee on Lutheran union;
and always stands ready to aid its member congregations at their request.
A copy of the Conference’s Constitution, the “Sketch” of its doctrinal position, as well as a sample issue of the
Concordia Lutheran, can be had free of charge upon request. Also available and of special interest to
members of the Wisconsin Synod, Evangelical Lutheran Synod, and Church of the Lutheran Confession are
several tracts on the Doctrine of the Church and Ministry, namely, “This Scriptural Position We Still Hold” and
“How the False Doctrine on the Church and Ministry Endangers Other Plain Teachings of the Bible.” You may
obtain these and other materials, as well as a list of the other Conference congregations, from the Conference
publishing house direct at the address below OR by clicking on that address to gain access to the Conference
