He was martyred by the sword while the shell represents his zeal for spreading the Gospel.
His zeal for missions carried him far and wide upon the seas.
The keys remind us that Jesus has given his saints on earth the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven while legend tells us that Peter was crucified upside down.

Faith Lutheran Church is a family in Christ Jesus, committed to the faithful proclamation of the Word of God and the Gospel of Salvation. We believe that God's Word speaks clearly and powerfully to His people today - just as it has since the beginning of Creation itself. We believe that people receive salvation and eternal life as a free gift of God's love, through faith in Jesus Christ His Son.
The Word of God and the Gospel of Salvation is proclaimed among us every week as the people of God gather around the Means of Grace to receive the gifts of God's love. United in one faith and confession, it is our joy to share this good news with the world. Together, we seek to share the message of hope and forgiveness that is proclaimed from our pulpit in an effort to, "Empower All People To Know Jesus Christ!" . . . beginning with our own community here in Punta Gorda, Florida.
For those who join in fellowship with us, we offer opportunities to grow in faith and love through detailed study and application of God's Word. Classes are available often for the people of God, with special emphasis on Sunday morning instruction.
"For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ." [2 Corinthians 4:5-6 NIV]
