Our History.
It was on April 25, 1954 that a group of fifty-two people gathered in a home in Raytown, MO for
the first worship service of a mission congregation that would be named Peace Lutheran Church.  It
experienced rapid growth and soon needed larger facilities.  Two tracts of land were purchased
totaling 7 acres and bounded by Blue Ridge, James A. Reed Rd., Delmar and 83rd Street.

On this land was a stone mansion which served as the house of worship until March 1959 when the
first unit of the long range building program was completed.  The education wing was dedicated in
October 1966.  Rapid growth continued and our Grow In Peace Child Care Center opened in April
1996.  Here we have the privilege of sharing Jesus' love with 160 children.
Grow In Peace Childcare Center
Peace Lutheran Church  (Who We Are)
Grow In Peace Childcare Center was established in April, 1996 and created by Peace Lutheran
Church to meet the needs of children and families in the community by providing quality child care
and Preschool programs from ages 6 weeks to 12 years.  

The Early Childhood learning is based on a Christ-centered, Peace-empahaized and Developmentally
appropriate curriculum, integrating these basic philosophies in a safe and nurturing way.

Grow in Peace has a long-term goal and that is to recognize that Parents have the primary
responsibility and privilege to provide the first Christian instruction and training for the child.  
However, school, as an extension of the church, can strengthen and support the parents in this
responsibility by assisting and nurturing the child in his/her spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social
and physical needs.
