The Church of Peace has been in located Rock Island since 1895. Founded by German immigrants the church was originally called Deutsche Evangelical Friedens Gemeinde or German Evangelical Peace Church. In 1912, the congregation built the church at its current location on 12th Street and 12th Avenue. The history is seen in the stained glass windows and the bell tower as it stands tall in the neighborhood. An addition was added in the 1950s for offices and education classrooms. In 1923, the name of the church was changed to Evangelical Church of Peace. When the merger of the Congregational Christian Churches and the Evangelical and Reformed Church denominations of Protestant faith occurred in 1957, they formed the United Church of Christ. Therefore, the church became the Church of Peace United Church of Christ ( UCC ). The UCC national headquarters are in Cleveland, Ohio. The UCC is a community of faith that seeks to respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ in word and deed. From the beginning of the UCC, we were a church that affirmed the ideal that Christians did not always have to agree to live together in communion. Our motto that they may all be one is Jesus' prayer for the unity of the church. The UCC is one of the most diverse Christian churches in the United States. We are a seekers' church. At best, our congregations seek to include anyone and everyone who wants to listen for the voice of the still speaking God.
