Join a Small Group!
We are excited about several new groups that are forming with upcoming event opportunities. All of our groups are open and are looking for people to join. At Peace, we believe our Small Groups bring people together, provide a place to share life, and allow you to grow in faith together. There are 3 types of Small Groups: Service, Study & Social.
There is a place for you here.
In the Peace community, "all" means all. You're welcome here because of who you are, not in spite of who you are. We are a Reconciling in Christ community, advocating the full welcome and inclusion of all people regardless of sexual orientation, sex, gender identity, gender expression, physical or mental ability, race, marital status, age, financial situation, medical condition, citizenship status, ancestry, or religious background.
