Sermon Series: Walk the Walk
A six week sermon series where we will explore Ephesians. Eugene Peterson (author of The Message) describes the church as a mixed bag of imperfect people striving to practice resurrection. He says, “There are no ‘successful’ congregations in Scripture or in the history of the church. But we do have Ephesians. We immerse ourselves in Ephesians to acquire a clean, uncluttered imagination of the ways and means by which the Holy Spirit forms church out of just such lives as ours.” (Eugene Peterson, Practice Resurrection). |
Confirmation | Sunday, April 28th
Join us on Sunday, April 28th at 10:30am, as we celebrate 11 students affirming their baptism during worship. This isn’t the end of their journey but a new beginning as they explore their faith. They have learned that God’s love for them is unconditional.

Summer Lunch Club | June 3-7, 2024
For some summer brings added stress. Many families rely on school lunch to provide a hot, nutritious meal for their children. Many families face food insecurity defined as lacking regular access to enough safe and nutritious food for normal growth and development.
Gahanna Residents in Need, steps in to fill the gap. GRIN and other area churches provide a hot lunch throughout the summer months. Peace will be prepping and serving the week of June 3-7. We anticipate that we will be serving 200+ meals each day. A very busy week that requires many hands to serve.
Opportunities to sign up to assist or donate will be available soon. Contact Minda Bickley for more information.
