Peace Lutheran Church

The sanctuary remodel of Peace Lutheran Church was designed by R.L. Engebretson to reflect the congregation’s worship structure changes. The sound system was updated and the organ and pipes were relocated to the front of the church. A secondary music area was added for the grand piano and choirs. Front railings were designed to be removable for special events. Acoustical issues were addressed with the design of the new ceiling. Dark paneling was removed and painted gypsum walls with metal reveal and maple wainscoting was added. The congregants wanted to keep an element of the old sanctuary, so the center wood cross was incorporated into the new design. R.L. Engebretson designed the liturgical furniture and woodworkers from the congregation lovingly built each piece. The original pews were removed, refinished, and reinstalled.
