Building For The Future
Peace is moving forward with architectural design and a capital campaign in 2026!
After thoughtful collaboration with M+A Design, we’re excited to share that the initial building renovation plans have been approved! Our architect has taken the time to understand both the needs of our congregation as well as our mission to love God, neighbor, and self, shaping plans that will serve Peace members and the wider community – now and for many years to come.
Although we are still in the early stages of design, we invite you to catch a glimpse of what lies ahead. On Easter Sunday, a display will be available in the Narthex and Soul Café, along with an informational pamphlet you can take home and share with your family.
If you have questions or would like to learn more, please contact us at [email protected].
