Christian Education:It
is the mission of Prince of Peace to provide "Christian
Education classes which nurture and share God's love;
teaching and discussing stories from the Bible and how they
relate to us all, from preschool to adult on each
individual's faith journey. Our goal is to create a strong
foundation of faith in children and adults as they
experience the love of Jesus Christ through the study of
God's Word in a caring Christian Community." Christian
Education is a lifelong pursuit and a vital part of our
spiritual lives.

Mutual Ministry Team: God has entrusted the Gospel to
earthen vessels-people like you and me. As earthen vessels,
Christians can both empty themselves for others and they can
be filled from another (ii Cor. 4:2). The primary purpose of
the Mutual Ministry Team is to affirm and strengthen the
mission of the congregation and the ministry of the staff.
This is not done through programs but through listening and
clarifying, sharing and communicating, review and
reflecting. The original organizing documents of the ELCA
church called for a Staff Support Committee (C13) within
each congregation. The synod is now calling these committees
Mutual Ministry in recognition of the need for us to
minister to one another. Mutual Ministry is actually the
equipping and supporting of all baptized members so they
can, in turn, carry the gospel into the world and into the
church.

Web Site:
The Prince of
Peace web site is a communications tool that serves two
purposes: 1) to provide information in a timely manner to
current members of our congregation; and 2) to give a
virtual viewer and possible visitor a look at whom we are
and what we do. It is the job of the web master to maintain
the site and keep it up-to-date.

Worship Ministry Team:
Our
vision is to provide worship experiences that draw upon our
Lutheran heritage, including the presentation of the
Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion, while exploring
and implementing diverse styles of worship. We will do this
by planning worship services which boldly express our faith
in the true God as the center and source of life. We will
continue to use diverse liturgies as well as explore the
addition of a contemporary worship service. We will continue
to utilize the gifts of lay persons in worship, i.e.,
liturgists, readers, communion assistants, soloists, choir,
proclaimers of God’s word, ushers/greeters, and altar
servants. Aware of the need for healing, we will continue to
provide services of healing on the fifth Sundays of the
month and pursue an ecumenical service of healing. We will
also continue to provide worship and ministry opportunities
through Lutheran Campus Ministry at Utah State University.
