History

The history of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church is a story of what God is able to accomplish from small beginnings. The congregation was organized in 1960 through the efforts of one family who saw the need for a church in which the Word of God would be taught faithfully according to the Lutheran Confessions.

In the fall of 1960, Mr. & Mrs. Frank Hansen and their family began holding services in a rented hall and later a home in Hecla. They were served by Pastor David Gullerud until the summer of 1961. In the summer of 1961 they purchased a home in Hecla to serve as a chapel-parsonage. This building still serves as the parsonage today.
