LEARN THE WORD
Adult Bible Study
Adults are encouraged to bring their Bibles Sunday mornings to the board room from 9:30 -10:30am (Sept. – May). Pastor Glenn leads the group in discussion about how to apply God’s Word to our lives. Whether you’ve attended Bible studies your whole life or you are new to following Jesus, this class will have something for you!
We also have various Bible studies during the week in private homes, and at the Church for all ages.
Contact 204-668-1132 for more information.
Sunday School & J12
We provide a fun, safe, and encouraging environment for families with young children. One of our main values at Peace is family and we place a very strong emphasis on walking alongside and partnering with parents to help their children have a relationship with Jesus and to build a strong spiritual and biblical foundation as they grow. Sunday School (ages 4 – grade 4) and J12 (grades 5-10) meet every Sunday at 9:30am.
Youth Group
Fellowship, fun and Bible study aimed at equipping our teens to handle the pressures of everyday life. Our active youth group meets every second Friday at 7pm for fellowship events emphasizing service to the community and learning about Jesus in a safe and comfortable environment. As the world continues to draw God’s people away from the church, we want to draw them in, so youth are invited to come and bring their self, and to bring a friend, for a night of fun, faith, and fellowship!
For more information, contact 204-668-1132.
College and Careers
Our College & Career group is targeted for people who have graduated from high-school and are getting established in their studies, careers, or are taking some time to determine their next steps. This is a great group for people who are seeking a faith-based community with other young people.

The Well (Young Adults)
What is The Well?
The Well is a place to gather. It’s a place to grow in faith. It’s a place to ask honest questions. It’s a place to be refreshed by the living water of Christ.
John 4:14 – “Whoever drinks of the water that I give him will never be thirsty again.”
Why is it called The Well?
In John 4, Jesus meets a woman at the well. He offers her something deeper than water – Living water that truly satisfies. In scripture, wells were places where people met, conversations happened, and lives were changed. A Well is a place to stop, to draw water, and become refreshed before continuing the journey. Jesus often met people in ordinary places and offered them something eternal. That is the heart behind The Well.
LIFT
LIFT is multi-pronged, combining Bible Study and fellowship to build and enjoy friendships. Bible Study has been guided by resources such as the Rob Bell Nooma video series and various book studies.
Over the years our group has expanded to include ladies of any age and moms of children in various different stages of life (newborns, toddlers, preschool, school-age, and university). Our studies are set up so that anyone can join at any point in the year and still participate fully.
Children are welcome and can spend an hour socializing, playing or watching videos with other children.
LIFT offers the opportunity to build friendships and socialize informally during the snack portions of our mornings. We also host two potlucks a year, one to celebrate Christmas together and as a wind up at McIvor Park in June.
Men's Group
Being a man in this modern world is hard, especially for the younger generations, because they face many unique challenges that were not around in years past. Therefore, we offer a Men’s Ministry Group where men can have fellowship, grow in their faith, encourage one another, and strengthen their knowledge on what it means to be a man of God.

Meal Ministry

Emergency Food Pantry
Our members provide non-perishable food items for those in the community experiencing food insecurity. Is there something missing in our food pantry?
Community Food Drive
For the past 7 years Peace Lutheran Church has organized a community food drive in the North Kildonan neighbourhood to collect non perishable food items for the Main Street Project Foods and Essentials Market and for our own Emergency Food Pantry.
Little Free Library
Our Little Free Library was created to allow the community free access to Bibles and Christian books for children, teens, and adults.
We encourage community members to return borrowed books and share their own Christian books!
Northern Ministries (LAMP)
The mission of the Church is the Great Commission:
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age”
Matthew 28:19-20
Notice the words “all nations” & “go”. And so we go. It is part of every Christian’s mission to support local and foreign missions and everything in between. Part of our mission here at Peace is to spread the news of God’s love to all his children. We’ve served the community of Sachigo Lake, ON for 10 years and we’ve served the community of Pelican Narrows, SK for 3 years.
