The Council leads the congregation in envisioning how Peace Lutheran Church can best fulfill its mission statement—“Bound by Christ to Break Boundaries.” We seek ways to reach out to our church community and the surrounding community to let them know that all are welcome within our doors and hearts.

The Council is charged by our Constitution with oversight of the ministries of the congregation, and with financial responsibility. This means they are the elected stewards of all of our resources, including time, talent, and treasure. However, each member of the congregation takes part in the work of ministry, and all are welcome to attend any Council meeting.

Council terms are determined on a rotating 3-year basis, and elections are generally held in the late fall. Each January, the Council hosts the Annual Congregational Meeting. At that time, they present a budget for congregational approval, along with other yearly business of the church as needed.

Each Council meeting begins with the practice of Dwelling in the Word. This allows us to ground our business in Scripture, reminds us that our work is God’s mission, and keeps us centered on the guiding question of what God is calling us to.

The following members are currently serving on the Council:

Susan has been a member of Peace since 1984. She taught middle school and high school English for forty years and is now enjoying retirement with her husband George. Susan has served as a Sunday School teacher for many years and enjoys singing with “The Church Ladies.”

Nancy is a native Missourian who moved to Washington with her husband and 3 children in 1994. She has been active in the congregation and community since then. She especially enjoys playing bells and singing with the Church Ladies women’s choir.

Susan Woodcock, Secretary
Susan also serves as Music Director for Peace and observes, “I have been a member of Peace Lutheran Church for about 30 years. The people of Peace are my family and my life-line. I have seen many changes and believe we have settled into the people that God wants us to be. I am thankful for the blessings that I receive from our close community and am honored to be on the Council.”

Kathy Rust, Treasurer
Kathy was a founding member of Peace, joining in 1980. She is retired and lives in Villa Ridge.
