Welcome to Prince of Peace: A Congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America We are glad you are here! In the following pages, let us introduce ourselves and tell you a little about our ministry. Consider this your Prince of Peace Owner's Manual!
You will find answers to many ways God is active here. This is a helpful guide, but not an exhaustive list of all of our ministries. We are constantly surprised by God and open to what is just around the corner. So may the fun begin!
