Thou shalt remember all the ways which Jehovah thy God hath led thee. Deuteronomy 8:2

OUR STORY
Peace Baptist Church was founded February 7, 1993 in the home of Pastor and Mrs. Tyrone Barnette with fourteen (14) adult members. Since that time, the church has worshipped in ten (10) different locations, and is now comprised of over two thousand (2000) members.

For three of those years, Peace worshipped in the gymnasium and chapel of Indian Creek Baptist Church. The two churches shared a common vision to reach the Stone Mountain area for Christ. By sharing the facility, the racial lines that have defined Stone Mountain in the past were being torn down, as Christians united to bring glory to God and meet the needs of hurting people.

His glory was revealed again, when Peace pursued the acquisition of Rowland Hills Baptist Church. In October 1996, Peace met with the trustees of Rowland Hills expressing their interest in the property. Rowland Hills sold the property to Peace for far less than its value, without involving banks or charging interest. The building is an instrument to be used as God wills.

Prayers were answered in December 2002 when Peace was blessed with it’s newest facility at 1399 Austin Dr. Decatur, GA. Peace has been sent to this location to be a further beacon of light in a dark dismal world.

Yet, again God showed Himself strong on our behalf when our 40 acres and a Miracle became a reality April 2006. We were blessed to close on 40 acres of land on Miller Rd in Decatur, GA that will soon become the site of our new worship facility, ministry village and much more! Instead of selling the current property the membership chose to retain the 45,000 square foot facility and turn it into the Urban Center.

Peace has a dynamic, Spirit filled worship service. The Word of God is the highest priority and proclaimed with power and conviction each Sunday morning. Members are growing deeper in their walk with God as they learn to apply the truths of scriptures to their lives. Our services are casual so everyone is comfortable.

Peace has adopted the theme "Discipling the Church to Meet Needs Wherever They May Be Found." The members seek to address the spiritual, emotional, relational, and physical needs of the community. As Pastor Barnette says, "The church is the only institution that has the knowledge and strength to heal the hurts in society. As Christians come together to exercise their unique spiritual gifts, we will see the powerful move of God this world is so thirsty for. Our strength is in our unity and our love for our God."
