Walter Still, Senior Pastor

“It is such a joy to see how God has grown Peace Lutheran Church!” is a remark often heard from Pr. Walter. In 1999, he was appointed as the Pastor Developer of Peace and since then it has been a fascinating walk with God meeting the challenges of planting, building a facility, developing ministries and growing the church. Pastor’s passion is equipping disciples—he loves leading worship, preaching, teaching, greeting visitors and leading the congregation.
 
Pr. Walter was raised in Pennsylvania, attended Penn State, the Lutheran Seminary at Gettysburg, and has earned a Ph. D. from Duquesne University. He has served three congregations. His wife is Elizabeth, a flutist who plays sometimes at church. They have two daughters who are in college. Pr. Walter enjoys bicycling and making furniture.

“I lift my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? It comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.” (Psalm 121.1)

Richard D. Jaeggi began to serve in September 2008 as Director of Music, Choir Director and Organist here at PLC. Ric returned to full-time music ministry after years of working in the organ industry. He was also a highly sought-after substitute in the greater St. Louis, MO, area. He has given concerts throughout the US and suffered greatly while playing in St. Thomas and the Bahamas!
 
His love for the high art of worship comes from his 40+ years of playing in churches, studying with the finest of teachers, his years at the University of Cincinnati-College Conservatory of Music and post grad studies at United Theological Seminary in Dayton, OH.

“You shall have a song as in the night when a holy festival is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one sets out to the sound of the flute to go to the mountain of the Lord.” (Isaiah 30:29)

Karen Lee, Parish Nurse

I was born in Pennsylvania, but raised in Long Island, New York. I have 4 sisters. There are two sets of twins and an older sister. I am one of the twins. I was raised in the Lutheran Church, but when I moved down to Florida I joined a Baptist Church. I have two children--a daughter who lives in Minnesota and a son who lives in Cape Coral. I have 7 grandchildren and just this year was delighted to become a great-grandmother! Unfortunately, most of my grandchildren live in other states. I have been a nurse for more than 20 years, specializing in geriatric and psychiatric nursing.

I completed the Lee Memorial program in Parish Nursing in response to the Lord's calling. I am honored to have been chosen to be your Parish Nurse and excited to be a member of the staff of Peace Lutheran Church. I look forward to meeting and working with you all!
