Spring, 1980:  A group of Lutherans who had been meeting in Washington, Missouri, contacted the American Lutheran Church about creating a mission church.

June, 1980:  Pastor Paul Baehmann came to Washington to canvas the area.

Fall, 1980:   The American Lutheran Church purchased 5 acres of ground at 5 Scenic Dr. to become the future site of The American Lutheran Church (original name).

November of 1980: became an official mission church of the ALC.

1982:  The cornerstone of the current building was laid
the name Peace Lutheran Church was adopted to reflect the desire to have a church that acted and reacted in love for one another.

January 1, 1988: three major synods/denominations (The American Lutheran Church, The Lutheran Church in America, and the American Evangelical Lutheran Church) of the Lutheran church merged to become the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).
Peace Lutheran Church became self-supporting.

2007-2010: Peace participated in a program call the Partnership for Missional Church that helped change the church focus from inward to outward.
