If you've partaken of any of these goodies, you know what a blessing they are to members, guests and visitors alike. Please consider volunteering so that we may continue this wonderful time of fellowship and hospitality. Sign-up today at the Welcome Center. Need more info? Contact Jan Van Sant or Andrea Barber.

Prince of Peace's Core Values
Personal Evangelism — We believe sharing our faith is most effective and best received when it happens in the context of personal relationships.
Loving Relationships — We believe in demonstrating our love in commitment and action.
Relevant Teaching — We believe God's Word is intended to be understood and applied to daily life.
Intentional Discipleship — We believe spiritual growth can and should be actively pursued by every believer.
Total Involvement — We believe the church is most effective when all members serve using their spiritual gifts.
Outward Focus — We believe the needs of people outside the church should take priority over the preferences of those inside the church.
