We are a community of Lutheran Christians in Kamloops who come together for worship, fellowship, learning and service to others. Although we are a diverse group from all walks of life, backgrounds and generations, we are united around the essential beliefs and core values we have embraced from our rich Lutheran heritage. Pastor Kelly Fryer, in her book “Reclaiming the ‘L’ Word”, expresses them well through five simple, yet profound guiding principles. They are:

1. Jesus is Lord
2. Everyone is welcome
3. Love changes people
4. Everybody has something to offer
5. The world needs what we have

These beliefs and values guide us in how we approach things, how we relate to each other, and how we make people feel welcome within our congregation.

Hills of Peace is a thriving congregation with average attendance of 110 at Sunday worship. One of our main areas of focus is continuously strengthening our Children and Youth Ministry. This has led to building a stronger Sunday School, establishing a “kids club”, hosting a Vacation Bible School every summer, hiring a youth ministry worker, and participating in Campus Ministry at Thompson Rivers University.

Hills of Peace is a united congregation. Our people work together in a spirit of harmony, generosity and gratitude. With no factions to divide us, we are free to focus attention on making a difference in the lives of our members and the community around us.

As an active member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC), we join with Lutheran Christians across BC and Canada in the work of our church in all parts of Canada and around the world.
