Welcome to Prince of Peace Church!

First and foremost, Welcome! We're truly glad you're here.


What to Expect When You Arrive

As you enter through our front doors, our friendly greeters will be there to warmly welcome you and guide you to the sanctuary. Once there, an usher will greet you and provide a worship bulletin so you can easily follow along with the service. (If the usher happens to be momentarily away, you'll find bulletins on a small stand to your right as you enter the sanctuary.)

Our greeters are usually available 10-15 minutes before our Sunday service, which begins at 10:40 a.m. (or 9:30 a.m. during the summer months).


For Families with Young Children

If you have young children, please feel free to use our nursery, conveniently located on the way to the sanctuary. Typically, we have someone on duty in the nursery, but you are welcome to stay with your child for as long as you'd like. The nursery features a large window facing the sanctuary, with sound piped in, so you won’t miss any part of the service.

Need a quiet space during the service? The nursery also serves as a calming area if you or your child need a break.


About Our Worship Service

Our worship service starts at 10:40 a.m. and usually concludes around noon (summer hours: 9:30 - 11:00 a.m.). We begin by warmly welcoming all guests, and you’re invited to introduce yourself if you feel comfortable. As part of our Brethren tradition, we cherish hymns, so you’ll have the opportunity to sing along with several during the service. Lyrics are displayed on the big screen, and hymnals are available in the pews for those who prefer them.

Our service also includes prayers, a time to share joys and concerns, a children’s story, and a sermon. On the first Sunday of each month, we celebrate communion, and everyone is welcome to participate.

We’d love the chance to get to know you better.  After the service, please join us in the fellowship hall for coffee hour. It’s a casual and friendly time to enjoy coffee, tea, and light snacks while meeting others in our church family.  Feel free to stop by – we’d be delighted to welcome you!

If you'd like to learn more about our church community, simply click the 'Sign In' button at the top right corner of our homepage. Select 'Create an Account' and follow the prompts. After visiting us and introducing yourself to Pastor Ken (perhaps during coffee hour after the service), we’ll send you a temporary password to complete your account setup. This will give you access to details about upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, and more.

Thank you again for visiting—we look forward to getting to know you and connecting with you!
