Peninsula Lutheran Church offers both traditional and contemporary Sunday worship classes, youth and family ministries and high school ministries.

8 a.m. ­— Traditional Worship: Uses the Lutheran Book of Worship as the main source of liturgy and music. An organist supplies Prelude and Postlude music to create a contemplative atmosphere for worship.
