Ministry Conference Room

Join Pastor McDowell as he guides you through the major teachings of the ancient church, including the Trinity (Father-Son-Holy Spirit), the Sacraments (Baptism-Lord's Supper), the message of the Bible, the life of the Church, etc. Also included is vital information to help you get connected with the family of believers at St. Peter's - and beyond! Christ's Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) to the church is that we would CONNECT with His Word and Sacraments in worship with fellow believers, that we would GROW in our understanding of His truth, and that we would SHARE this good news with a world starving for answers and dying to live. AIC is a great place to start!

Grief is a journey that touches every life, yet it often leaves us feeling alone, confused, or overwhelmed. A Biblical Look at Grief is a compassionate and Scripture-centered class designed to help us understand grief through the lens of God’s Word, and to experience His comfort in the midst of sorrow.

Whether you're walking through recent loss, carrying long-held grief, supporting someone who is hurting, or simply seeking to understand how God meets us in our pain, this class offers a safe, gentle space for reflection, healing, and hope. Together, we’ll explore how key figures in the Bible expressed their grief, how Jesus responded to sorrow, and what God's promises mean for us today.

You won’t find quick fixes, just honest conversations, encouraging community, and the reminder that “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18). Come as you are. There is room for your story, your questions, and your tears.

In order to win a battle, you need to know who the enemy is, and you need to know how to defeat the enemy. There's a spiritual battle going on in the world and in our own lives. The enemy is the devil,

described by Jesus in John 8:44 as a liar and murderer. To defeat the devil we can't rely on our wits and cunning. We'll lose every time. Instead we need to put on the armor that God provides. That armor is described in Ephesians 6:10-18. Each week we'll consider a part of that armor and apply it to our own lives so that we can be “dressed for battle.”

Modern culture would have you believe that everyone has a soul mate; that romance is the most important part of a successful marriage; that marriage does not mean 'til death do us part, but merely for as long as my needs are being met; and that when serious differences arise, divorce is the best solution. But all of these modern-day assumptions miss what marriage is really about. This study, created by Rev. Timothy Keller, draws a profound portrait of marriage from the pages of Scripture that neither idealizes nor rejects the institution but points us back to the relationship between God and man. The result is a vision for marriage that is refreshingly frank and unsentimental, yet hopeful and beautiful.

Church Gym

Drums Alive is a program that utilizes “whole brain – whole body” thinking by developing sensory motor reflexes and kinesthetic awareness. The physiological and psychological benefits are numerous including those found in traditional forms of aerobic fitness. Drumming has also been found to improve and increase the neurological connection between the 2 brain hemispheres, stimulating Alpha brain wave activity which can lead to higher levels of concentration, sensory/motor improvement, and an overall sense of well being. In Drums of Praise, Certified Drums Alive Coach, Alicia Rodenbeck, will lead participants through a short meditation on a verse highlighting God's Masterwork in the human body before leading a fun and uplifting drumming workout suitable for all ages and abilities. Come to drum away some stress or to dance and find some joy!
