Looking Back with Gratitude; Looking Ahead with Anticipation
Prince of Peace is celebrating its 50th Anniversary, 1958-2008. A year of celebration, reflection and planning is well underway and there are more special events to come.
All events will culminate with the Service of Celebration and anniversary luncheon on Sunday, April 27th, the actual 50th anniversary of our congregation. All former pastors of the congregation are invited to participate as well as former members. If you are a former member and would like to attend, or have contact information of former members, please contact the church via e-mail or phone: 847-885-7010.
Welcome to Prince of Peace
Lutheran Church
Prince of Peace is located in Schaumburg, Illinois, approximately 30 minutes west of downtown Chicago and has been serving the community for over 40 years. We are a member of the Metropolitan Chicago Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
All are welcome at Prince of Peace. Whether you're new to the area, new to the Christian faith or simply curious about our church, we hope you will join us for a visit. You'll find we have a very diverse congregation which offers many opportunites to discover your personal beliefs.
We Are a Welcoming and Affirming Congregation
In early 1997 Prince of Peace became a "Welcoming and Affirming Congregation" when it adopted the following statement of welcome:
"That persons of all races, ages, physical, mental and emotional status or capacity, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, economic condition, national and ethnic origins, share with all others the worth which comes from being unique individuals created by God in need of forgiveness."
"That all persons named and unnamed above are welcome within the membership of the congregation upon making the same affirmation of faith that all others make; and, that as members of this congregation all are expected and encouraged to share in the sacramental and general life of this congregation."
