Take an Angel, Be a Light

Social Ministry: Steve & Linda Hallien • December 2, 2024

We have lots of angels available.

Our Angel Tree in the Ministry Center has over 120 angels ready for pick up to support those in the Prison Fellowship® and Victims Assistance here in Fort Wayne. Remember to return wrapped gifts on or before December 15th when they will be delivered.


Every person is made in the image of God. No life is beyond His reach. Founded in 1976, Prison Fellowship® is the nation’s largest Christian nonprofit equipping the Church to serve currently and formerly incarcerated people and their families, and to advocate for justice and human dignity both inside and outside of prison.


The Victim Assistance (VA) program of FWPD was established in 1981. The program provides comprehensive crime victim services to the City of Fort Wayne and surrounding communities. Advocates and volunteers passionately work to provide information to crime victims to reduce re-victimization as victims navigate through the criminal justice system. Primary and secondary crime victims receive direct services to help stabilize their lives and meet their immediate needs. The outreach program initiates contact to inform victims about available services and their rights as crime victims and survivors.

News & Notes

Pastor McDowell Deliberates a Divine Call

By Pastor Adam McDowell • February 18, 2025
St. Peter’s, God bless your Tuesday and all that you do. I have received a Divine Call from Faith Lutheran Church, Grand Blanc, Michigan. They are calling me as Senior Pastor working with their ministry team. For clarity, I was not looking for a new position nor actively putting my name out on Call lists. It is my position to listen to these inquiries to understand the will of the Spirit. As Lyndi and I deliberate this Call, we ask for your prayers. Please, pray for guidance, wisdom, and that the Lord would clearly make known His will. Continue to keep our church in your prayers especially for her continued ministry, the filling of our Senior Pastor vacancy, and the work of our Call Team. Please, also pray for Faith Lutheran Church, Grand Blanc, and her ministry, as we are called to pray for the entire ministry of God (Ephesians 6:18). Lyndi and I, along with our children, will pray for discernment with God’s grace and for the two ministries as well. May the Lord give guidance to us all, Pastor McDowell
