A Message from the Pastor
Prince of Peace Lutheran Church has been, and continues to be a diverse church in the Over-the-Rhine / Cincinnati community. We have a long history of serving those struggling within the cycle of poverty, those experiencing homelessness, those with addictions, lack of education, and to all people whatever their struggles, regardless of race and economic status.
We first opened our doors on Race street in 1871 and continue to serve everyone in the community. We are an outward focused church, meaning that we not only welcome all people inside our doors, but we intentionally reach out and serve the community, with many Prince of Peace "Mercy Ministries."
Over-the-Rhine has changed a great deal in the 150+ years we have been in existence, but we remain steadfast and follow as disciples of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and serve all of God's people, regardless of race or economic status.
