Peace Evangelical Lutheran Church (WELS)
What We Believe
Rooted in God’s Word, centered on Christ, and shared with joy in Milbank and the surrounding area.
At Peace Lutheran Church we believe that…
Sin is real—and it affects every heart
Each person is born with a sinful heart that leads us to think, say, and do what we should not.
God’s grace is undeserved love
God grace, his undeserved love, sent his own Son to save us from our sin and guilt.
Jesus has done it all for us
Jesus Christ lived a perfect life, died an innocent death, and rose again from the dead to pay for the sins of all the world.

Living in gratitude
As God’s forgiven children, believers now seek to thank and praise the Lord as we live lives of loving service to him and to our neighbors.
Why do Christians do good works?
Good works don’t earn God’s love. They flow from faith and gratitude for the forgiveness Jesus has already won.
What does “loving service” look like?
It’s everyday faithfulness—serving family, neighbors, community, and church with compassion, honesty, and humility.
