Prince of Peace Lutheran Church Vision:

“Spirit Led – Love Driven”

 (1 Corinthians 12:4-6)
"Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them."


Spiritual Gifts are for serving, serving like you may have never experienced before...not dutiful serving; not drudgery serving; not square-peg-in-a-round-hole serving; but the kind of serving that fills you to overflowing with energy and gratitude, humbleness and joy all rolled into one. God loves you! He chose your gift(s) for you because He knows you better than you know yourself. He knows what will bring you fulfillment and purpose and how you can best be used as a vessel to grow His Body (the church). He desires you to experience joy in serving, and when you use your spiritual gift(s), you will experience joy and freedom like never before.

 

At Prince of Peace we desire to be a church that helps you to DISCOVER your gifts and then encourages you to DEVELOP and DEPLOY those gifts in serving.  We believe that God has called each of our members to this place at this time for a specific purpose; therefore, we seek to let our ministries flow from the gifts of our members.

 

One of the most beautiful pictures of the church is the one Martin Luther painted by preaching the "priesthood of all believers"; that is, our pastor is called to be our ordained minister, and each of us is also called to be a minister - a “lay minister”.  God has given you a unique "SHAPE" that helps you to discover your calling:

Spiritual Gifts
Heart (or Passion)
Abilities
Personality
Experiences


Through the guidance and the power of the Holy Spirit, in the diversity of our God-given SHAPEs, we are empowered to serve others with the love of Jesus.  We are Spirit Led and Love Driven.
