Started at 12203 Glenfield Detroit!

Organized February 22, 1930


Saint Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church

At that time the Rev. John Teutsch was the Pastor at our congregation which served a unique mission and still does today.  Of its original membership of 614 confirmed, over 500 have come from Europe!  Between 1948 - 1952 two hundred thirteen displaced families were sponsored by the church in the refugee program. German services were the main service each Sunday.  Organized on February 22, 1930 by Pastor Teutsch with 141 members St. Peter's two lots at Glenfield and Rossberry.  In 1933 a basement first unit was built and constructed for the new building, not including furnishings.  

Third lot was purchased!

Later a third lot was added:
For the brick parsonage which was constructed in 1942.  At the same time the nave was built over the basement at an additional cost.Continual improvements have been made to the properties since then.  Hard hit by the depression when only 5 member families saved their homes, St Peters has continued to minister to second "new beginnings" as immigrants established themselves.  Less than 10 member families are American born.  How wonderful is the grace of God who prospers for all things

St. Peters is on the move!

11423 Chicago Road Warren, Michigan

Over the years since Glenfield Road:
St. Peter's has grown and in 1980 the church moved to Warren Michigan on Chicago Road, where they still serve German & Saxon families by keeping the heritage of the European countries of; Germany, Hungary, Romania, Transylvania,& have expanded there congregation to serve the Warren/Sterling Hts. areas younger non-German neighbors as well.  In 1983 a large fellowship hall was added enabling St. Peters to serve the immediate Warren community better.  To this day Saint Peters still has a German and English service every Sunday.

Throughout many trials and issues this church has survived and is still growing with non speaking German and or Saxon families and includes many other nationalities becoming a multi national speaking congregation.

       Today our congregation is a member of the  Southeast Michigan Synod of the
