Welcome to Eau Claire.
Wherever you’re at in your faith journey, Peace is a welcoming church community where you can meet new people, discover your God-given purpose, grow spiritually, and together, go out into our community and beyond to make a Kingdom impact.
College-aged young adults are invited to join us on Tuesday evenings at 7 pm (during the school year) to dive into the Bible and grow in community. You don’t have to be a current student. Join us in the Refuge at Peace to dig in and learn how the Bible applied to its original audience, how it applies today, and how it leads us to a full life in Christ. Snacks will be provided too! Contact Anna with questions at annar@mypeacechurch.com.
Help us get to know you.
Whether you have already visited and checked us out, or if you’re considering a visit, tell us who you are so we can look for you. If interested, please provide your name, email or phone, and any information you’d like to share with us right away and a staff member will be in touch with you shortly. We look forward to meeting you!

What about Wednesday Nights?
Wednesday nights at Peace offer something for everyone! One of the best features is the home-cooked meal. Serving starts at 4:45 pm and goes until 6 pm. College students, show your student ID and eat for free!!! Along with kids’ programming for the evening, there is an adult bible study from 6-7 pm in the Adult Study Room. Topics and teachers change throughout the year. There is plenty of space for you and others to just visit at a table in the Gathering Place as well. We would love to have you part of our Peace community.
Located on Fillmore Avenue in Eau Claire’s Putnam Heights Neighborhood
Staff & Deacons
Our staff and deacons are led by Pastor Ethan Luhman. Pastor Ethan and his wife, Sherri, along with their four young children, have been at Peace for just over a year. Pastor Ethan has extensive experience leading at several churches across the country. Pastor Mark Schulz has led Peace for the past 40 years and expects to retire this coming year. In addition, we also have Associate Pastor David Forke. Our staff and deacons are here to help you on your faith journey. We’d love to connect with you!
FAQs
-
Yes; Peace is a member of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. We realize that practices vary significantly between LCMS congregations, and we would be happy to meet with you and discuss how the Bible is lived out in our church. Feel free to contact us and we will connect you with a pastor.
-
We believe that God is more concerned with your heart than what you wear - so wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Dress on Sunday varies greatly. Worshippers at our 8 am service often dress up, while those at our modern and blended services tend to wear more casual clothing.
-
No, you don't. No matter your spiritual background - whether you grew up in a non-religious family, in another Christian church body, or even in another religion entirely - we invite you to worship at Peace, meet Jesus and explore the Gospel.
-
No, you don't. There are Lutheran churches that require church membership to commune as a way of ensuring a higher degree of unity among those communing. However, at Peace, we don't want to have a human rule (church membership) stand in the way of a gift of God's grace (His undeserved love and desire). We do, however, desire that you come to communion as one trusting in Jesus as your Savior and believing that He gives you Himself in the Lord's Supper.
