From Pastor Gary
Pastor Gary Soop















 

Grace and peace to you from Pastor Gary! I welcome you to worship this Sunday with the wonderful people who call Spirit of Peace their church home! God is bringing together local folks and new residents, young families and the young at heart, and is building this dynamic, loving church in Richmond Hill, Georgia.

Soon after the tragic events of 9/11, a small group of Lutheran Christians gathered in 2001 to help form and name this mission congregation. The name "Spirit of Peace" conveys to me the conviction that in the midst of human fears and tears, chaos and conflict God is with us - graciously giving us peace through our Lord Jesus Christ and generously providing hope and strength through the Holy Spirit.

My work here as Pastor/Mission Developer began in August 2005, and I continue to marvel at the great grace and growth we have received from the Lord! Spirit of Peace has been blessed with a four acre gift of land in an excellent location, and we have completed our new church home. Know that neighbors and newcomers are always welcome and may obtain the latest information through this web-site or by calling the church office at (912) 727-5608.

May the peace of the Lord be with you always!

In Christ's love,
Pastor Gary Soop
