Pastor Wallace

At Michiana Covenant PCA, we have a unique pastoral situation. The Rev. Dr. Peter J. Wallace is a minister in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church who serves as the pastor of Michiana Covenant PCA ("In the PCA I'm stated supply, in the OPC

I'm an evangelist, but at Michiana Covenant, they just call me pastor!"). Pastor Peter and his wife, Ginger, live in South Bend with their five children. He has served at Michiana Covenant since the fall of 2001, at first simply as stated supply while he was finishing his Ph.D. at Notre Dame. The ecumenical arrangement worked so well that in July of 2004 he was installed at a joint service of the OPC Presbytery of Michigan and Ontario and the PCA Great Lakes Presbytery in order to serve Michiana Covenant Presbyterian Church on a permanent basis.

Dr. Wallace graduated from Wheaton College (B.A., 1993), Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia (M.Div., 1996), and the University of Notre Dame (Ph.D., 2004). His dissertation was entitled "The Bond of Union: The Old School Presbyterian Church and the American Nation, 1837-1861." He has lectured widely on the history of the church and of its worship, and has published articles in the Westminster Theological Journal, The Journal of Presbyterian History, and the Mid-America Journal of Theology.

Dr. Wallace was previously the organizing pastor of Grace Reformed Church (OPC) in Walkerton, Indiana, and has served on several committees for the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, including the Committee to Prepare Proof-Texts for the Larger Catechism and the Committee on Views of Creation. He presently serves on the OPC’s Committee on Ecumenicity and Interchurch Relations.
