| Peace was started by 25 families in 1961 and has grown to 916 baptized souls and 589 confirmed members in 2010. The congregation was founded in southeast Neenah under the leadership of Rev. Ken Wessel, who served the congregation faithfully until his retirement in 1988. Land was purchased at our present site along South Park Avenue in August 1961. Then, just a farm field with much promise, the church has gone through two major building programs that have seen the completion of the present beautiful 350 seat sanctuary in 1976. The dreams of its early members to have a church among the southern suburbs of Neenah has been fully realized. Construction and building remodeling in 1997, expanded the office and classrooms, and updated the narthex and sanctuary. After the retirement of Pastor Wessel in 1988, Peace called the Rev. Terry Ahlemeyer of Springfield, IL to be its pastor. Pastor Ahlemeyer has watched the continued growth of the congregation after his installation in August 1988. The congregation has a very active and innovative young peoples' ministry and Sunday School under the leadership of its Lay Director, Anne Wilson. Pastor Ahlemeyer retired in October, 2009. Peace called the Rev. Ricky Schroeder of Hartford, WI to be its new pastor, who was installed in October, 2010. |
