Bringing people together to worship God

To learn the way of the cross
To do justice
To search for peace
To forgive our enemies
And to love and serve our neighbors
Our Vision:
Believing that Christ is our peace, we are
an inclusive, diverse community called to give witness to the power of the Holy
Spirit to break down the walls that divide us and build us up into one
people—the children of God.
Core Values/Principles:
Thanksgiving
Through prayer and hearing God’s Word, through the
sacraments of Holy Baptism and Holy Communion, through preaching, witnessing,
music and the arts, we receive God’s love and life, and offer our love and our
lives to God, to one another and to God’s world.
Prayer and Caring
We offer prayer, listening, acceptance and support for ourselves, for the
community of Prince of Peace, for our friends and family, for the community in
which we live, and for the whole world.
Journeying
Faith is active, and takes us from one place to another. While we are together
in this place, we seek to teach, heal, foster growth and equip one another for
the journey of faithful living. We understand change as God’s continuing
creation of the world, and seek to be open to beginnings, transitions and
endings, trusting always in God’s steadfast love and trustworthy guidance.
Serving and Sharing
As Christ served those he loved, he called those who would be his disciples to
be servants of all, and gave them gifts to give away. We seek to identify our
gifts, both spiritual and material, and to shape the life of our community
around sharing these gifts to bring healing and justice to our neighborhood, our
region, and throughout the world.
Befriending
Spiritual friendships are the basic relationships through which growth in faith
and the practice of all our values takes place. To be Christian is to offer
friendship without prejudice, and through caring attention and understanding, to
help each other
