We invite you to partake in a divine gathering on June 8th, unveiling a glimpse of heaven itself as our diverse congregations unite to honor the Lord and rejoice in the wondrous acts of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost.

Following our worship service, we will bask in the warmth of fellowship over a shared meal. Kindly bring a dish to contribute to our communal feast.

The vision of the Accessibility Ministry Action Team is to foster a welcoming, inclusive and accessible atmosphere for all people at Prince of Peace. The team is seeking information to help us better meet the needs of everyone worshipping at Prince of Peace. Please take a few minutes to fill out the Accessibility Survey to let us know if you or a family member could benefit from extra assistance or accommodations.

Have you ever been curious about the Book of Revelation? Many find it puzzling or intimidating, but it’s ultimately a message of hope. Prince of Peace is offering a new class starting this Sunday at 9:15 A.M. to explore Revelation in a relaxed setting, with no homework or set duration. Join us next to the kitchen, bring your Bible and notes if desired, and uncover the powerful truths of this often-overlooked book. We look forward to seeing you there! Contact Arla Albers for more information.

Grab one of the yard signs at the welcome center and put it in your yard to help us spread the word about our awesome school!
