A Rich History, A Bright Future in St. Louis Park

Vista Lutheran Church officially launched in May 2019, bringing together two trusted local ministries: Prince of Peace and Wooddale Lutheran Church. Together, our legacy represents over 160 years of faithful service, caring outreach, and community connection across St. Louis Park and the surrounding Twin Cities West Metro area.

We may have a new name, but our roots run deep - and our doors are wide open to you!

Founded in 1929, Wooddale stood as strong community of faith at the of 40th Ave and Wooddale for over 85 years. After the consolidation, we decided to house our ministries in the Wooddale building. And so our story continues at the site of 4003 Wooddale Ave S.

Prince of Peace Lutheran Church

Starting in 1949, Prince of Peace played a faithful role in the lives of so many over it’s 70 year history. After the consolidation of our congregations, we voted to sell the old Prince of Peace building to CommonBond Communities to that the site could be dedicated to affordable housing. We hope that through this decision the legacy of this chapter of our history will be one of abundant life for more of our neighbors.
