About the Apostles' Creed
The Apostles' Creed as we now have it dates from the eighth century. But in truth its roots are in the “Old Roman Creed,” which was used in some parts of the ancient church as early as the third century. Before the Old Roman Creed, in turn, were variations rooted in the New Testament itself. While this creed does not come from the apostles (Jesus’ followers sent to share the good news), its roots are apostolic (in keeping with the teaching of the New Testament apostles). The creed describes the faith into which we are baptized and therefore is used in the rites of Baptism and Affirmation of Baptism.

THE APOSTLES' CREED
I believe in one true God, Father, Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilot,
died and was buried;
he descended into hell,
on the third day he rose from the dead
and ascended into heaven
and sits on the right hand of God, the father Almighty,
from where he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting. Amen

(Lutheran Book of Worship, p. 85)

As the congregation began to grow, a new building was put up at the present site near Nicolette & W 5th Streets and was dedicated on July 10, 1966. It took 15 years to pay off the debt. Since the dedication in 1966, Peace has been a growing congregation. We went from 167 baptized members in 1966 to 340 baptized members in 2000. The continued growth prompted the next expansion of the present building. In 2003, a new kitchen was constructed along with an addition to the fellowship hall area which has doubled in size. On the south side of the building, a gathering/comfort room as well as new restroom facilities were added. The pastor's office on the northeast was also enlarged. The new addition not only provides space for current members of Peace, but also allows space for the congregation to continue to grow.
