OUR MINISTRIES
The vision of Peace Baptist Church is Discipling the Church to meet needs wherever they may be found. All ministries of Peace are structured around this vision and organized under eight parent ministries: Administration, School of Discipleship, First Impressions, GRACE Fellowship Groups, Pastoral Care, Urban Ministry Center, Worship & Arts, and Youth Development.

Discipling……..                          

In Matthew 28:19, Jesus commands the disciples to “Go and make disciples of all nations”. We too have been called to make disciples who are rooted and grounded in God’s Word. The School of Discipleship includes all of our biblically based educational programs including Wednesday Nite Live Bible Study, Sunday School, and Ministry Training.

The Worship and Performing Arts Ministry is designed to minister God’s Word through song, drama, dance, media, and spoken word. Although we may use non-conventional methods, the Word of God is preeminent and uncompromised. Our pastor oftentimes uses skits to bring his message to life.

The Pastoral Care Ministry encompasses the training of licensed ministers as well as the training of lay leaders who wish to walk members through crisis, our Stephen’s Ministers.

The Church…… 

Peace is oftentimes praised for its warmth and family atmosphere and we attempt to seal that impression from the time a person walks through the door. Our First Impressions Ministry which includes greeters, ushers, volunteer receptionists, the parking, van, and beautification ministries, and exists to make a lasting, positive first impression to all who call or visit the church.

We maintain our warm atmosphere through fellowship. The Womens, Mens, Marrieds, Singles, and Seniors ministries work cooperatively to provide church wide and small group fellowship events to allow the members to connect and network.

Visitors who wish to join Peace Baptist Church are required to attend a 6 or 12 week class that addresses the values, beliefs, and ministries or Peace. The Mobilization Ministry is the parent ministry responsible for coaching new members through the discipleship process, becoming a spiritually mature Christian fulfilling their God-given purpose.  The Congregational Care Ministry is responsible for coordinating the membership classes. It is also designed to meet the needs of the members especially assisting with baby dedications, funerals, weddings, and hospital visits. The participants in the membership class complete assessments to determine where they fit in the ministry. The Volunteer Hub is designed to plug members into the ministries that match their gifts, abilities, and calling.

To Meet Needs………..

The Urban Ministry Center of Peace Baptist Church oversees all of the outreach ministries. These outreach ministries include:

Some of the outreach ministries that began within Peace Baptist Church are now managed by a separate 501-3(c), Peace on the Move. This allows Peace to partner with external organizations and expand it’s vision well beyond it’s “four walls”. The programs managed by Peace on the Move include:
    • David’s Den Transitional Housing Program
    • Recovery at Work Program
    • SANAA Food Pantry
    • Miriam’s Way Foster Parent Training Program

Youth Development Ministry  

God has called Peace to “train up our children in the way they should go”. Our Youth Development Ministry is a dynamic ministry that works with youth from ages 0-25 years old. By including all youth under one umbrella, we are able to properly transition our youth through the major developmental stages of life. Our Kingdom Kidz Ministry works with children 0 – 5th grade. The Student Impact Ministry encompasses the middle and high school students. And Thirst is the Young Adult Ministry. Kingdom Kidz and Student Impact youth have their own worship services that teaches God’s Word on their age and spiritual levels. There are many youth who have led their parents to the church and to Christ.
