Our Pastor
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.
