Travel: Experience the Wonder of God’s World
Mark Twain once famously said, "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." (The Innocents Abroad/Roughing It)

Past Trips
Italy and the Passion Play (Summer 2022)
NOTE: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Passion Play was rescheduled for 2022. Our trip has been moved as well, with only slight adjustments to the date to fit the 2022 schedule. We would love to have you join us!
Explore the best of Italy, including Rome, Venice, Florence, Pisa, and the Almafi Coast, before crossing the Alps to enjoy the Passion Play hosted in the Bavarian village of Oberammergau. Offered only once every decade, this spectacular production involves everyone in the village and is a stunning presentation of the Gospel!
Alaska (Summer 2019)
We will start with a cruise along the breathtaking coast of America's largest state. You will get to see the beautiful landscape and the wildlife, as well as stopping at charming Alaskan villages along the way. After that, we will ride through the countryside to Denali national park, home to the tallest mountain in North America, where we will stay for three nights, before riding the train back to Anchorage. For those who desire, we will extend our stay in Anchorage, including worship at a local Lutheran church. For those interested in singing, we will arrange for a few choir pieces we will sing in church.
Germany: 500th Anniversary of the Reformation (June 19-28, 2017)
The Land of Luther will come to life in an unforgettable way as we approach the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation. We plan to travel throughout Germany, including such Luther sites as Wittenberg (where he nailed the 95 theses to the church door), Eisenach (where he stayed at the Wartburg Castle), Erfurt (where he studied as a monk), Worms (where he stood his ground at the Diet of Worms), and many other sites. We will also engage with members of the Selbständige Evangelisch-Lutherische Kirche (SELK), with whom our denomination (LCMS) has an official partnership relationship.
Footsteps of Paul & Greek Isles (Spring 2016)
The Apostle Paul traveled extensively throughout modern-day Turkey and Greece, planting churches and spreading the Gospel. Retrace some of his steps and grow deeper in your faith. Enjoy the stunning beauty of such ancient cities as Athens, Corinth, and Thessaloniki.
The Heart of South Africa (Summer 2014)
South Africa holds a special place in our hearts, both for its natural, raw beauty and for the fact that we have partnered in ministry with Pastor Mandla Khumalo and the Confessional Lutheran Church of South Africa for 25 years. Join us for the first-ever tour of South Africa sponsored by St. Peter, culminating in celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the founding of St. Peter Confessional Lutheran Church in Middelburg, South Africa.
Israel & Jordan - Experience the Holy Land (November 2012)
Future trips to the Holy Land will be considered based on interest. Contact Pastor Greiner if you would like to visit the Holy Land.
