Our Lutheran Heritage
The Lutheran Church traces its roots to the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century, when Martin Luther challenged practices within the Catholic Church that he believed contradicted Biblical teachings. On October 31, 1517, Luther posted his 95 Theses on the door of Wittenberg Castle Church, sparking a movement that would reshape Christianity.
Lutheran theology emphasizes several core principles:
- Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone): The Bible is the only source of divine revelation
- Sola Fide (Faith Alone): Salvation comes through faith in Christ alone
- Sola Gratia (Grace Alone): God's grace, not human works, brings salvation
- Solus Christus (Christ Alone): Jesus is the only mediator between God and humanity
Today, Lutheranism is one of the largest Protestant denominations globally, with over 70 million adherents worldwide. Lutheran churches maintain a rich tradition of liturgical worship while adapting to contemporary needs and cultures.
This balance of historical rootedness and modern relevance is especially evident in our approach at St. Peter Church and School, where we honor our theological heritage while embracing contemporary expressions of worship. St. Peter Church and School brings together Ancient Word and Sacrament with Modern Music and Message - a beautiful combination.
