The village of Schaumburg was founded by German farmers who wanted to raise their children in their culture and traditions on the great plains of Illinois. So, in 1847 they started the St. Peter Lutheran Church and School.

The school continues to be a strong asset in a thriving community that has changed from one based on farming, to one focused on family-businesses. St. Peter has buildings on the property dating back earlier than Abe Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.

Although St. Peter has buildings dating back to the foundation of the church & school, many changes have also been seen.The school is no longer a one room school house, but has expanded to 2 buildings located on 30 acres. Children now ride buses to school rather than horses. The congregation has worshipped in 3 buildings since its founding in 1847, including the newest worship center built in 1995. They have seen everything from the invention of phones and electricity to learning how to communicate through the internet.
