d8008ed7-c819-4154-afd4-b12d417b2966 Special Needs Ministry Peace Church is committed to providing students with extra needs the support they need to fully participate in the same activities as their peers, across all age groups. Our goal is to ensure that all families feel welcome and confident that they can worship together on Sunday mornings and throughout the week, without fear of their child being excluded. To make that possible, Peace Church pairs each child or student with a dedicated 1:1 buddy who works directly with them. This buddy system is in place across all our programs, ensuring that every child can participate fully and meaningfully in every activity — creating a truly inclusive environment for everyone. With that support in place, we offer a variety of programs, including Sunday Morning Programming (Newborn – 5th Grade), Brave Girls/Bold Boys on Wednesday nights, and Middle School and High School Youth Groups on Sunday nights. For older children who may not fit into typical Sunday Morning programming, we also offer a Sensory Room option. If you would like to become a buddy or learn more about our Sensory Room, please contact us here. Always Make sure to register for any event before attending so we can better prepare to serve your family. Friends at Peace is our ministry for adults with special needs — a chance to build real friendships, grow in faith, and have a great time doing it. We meet October through March on Tuesday nights from 6:00–7:30 PM, and it's consistently one of the most joy-filled gatherings in the church. Come as a Friend, or join us as a Mentor — learn more here .

Pray With Us "And I tell you, ask, and s it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." Luke 11:9 Daniel & Amber Greegor Ethnos 360 Mexico is home to many indigenous people groups, with numerous languages still lacking access to Scripture.

You can find Peace's Meal Ministry Link Here to help support Peace Church families in need Today's New or Time-Sensitive Update Praying for the Peace Church body Each week, we have the opportunity to pray together for our church family and the work God has called us to. As we continue to grow in prayer, we will focus each week on one key aspect of who God has called Peace Church to be. Let’s use this time to seek the Lord together and ask Him to shape us, strengthen us, and help us faithfully live out our calling as a church. This week, we are focusing on being a Family Focused church: Faith Begins at Home. God has given us the gift of family and the opportunity to reflect His love in the way we care for one another. As we pray for our families this week, may we be intentional about lifting up one another’s needs, encouraging each other in faith, and creating homes where the love of Christ is known and shared. May our faith not stop with us, but be lived out and passed on to the next generation.

The Power of Sin in the Christian Life May 11, 2024 The Power of Sin in the Christian Life Sermon Series: The Church Never Preaches On... Download PDF 1 John 3:1-10 Main Idea Christ’s victory over sin gives us a new identity from sin. Outline A new trajectory (1-3) A new morality (4-7) A new family (5-10) Discussion Questions 1. Read Romans 7:16-20. How does this passage help us understand the idea of sin remaining in our lives even after we are saved? 2. What dangers come with the idea that we can be fully free from sin in this life? 3. Often, we believe that the gospel message is only for non-Christians, but how does this message teach us that it is also for believers? Looking Forward Prayer Focus

Marriage is God's Design February 8, 2026 Marriage is God's Design Sermon Series: Like It Or Not Download PDF Ephesians 5:22-33 22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. 25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. Main Idea Like it or not, marriage is God's design. Outline MARRIAGE IS A PICTURE OF SUBMISSION AND SACRIFICE (VV22-27) MARRIAGE IS A PICTURE OF CHRIST AND THE CHURCH (VV28-32) MARRIAGE IS A PICTURE OF LOVE AND RESPECT (V33) Discussion Questions MARRIAGE IS A PICTURE OF SUBMISSION AND SACRIFICE (VV22-27) How does Christ’s sacrificial love for the Church shape the way husbands are called to sacrifce and wives are called to submit? How does this passage challenge common cultural assumptions and beliefs about marriage? What does Christ-like submission and sacrifice look like in everyday marriage (time, preferences, leadership, repentance)? For those who are single: how does this passage shape your understanding of what a godly marriage should look like? MARRIAGE IS A PICTURE OF CHRIST AND THE CHURCH (VV28-32) How does seeing marriage as a gospel picture change the way we think about its purpose? Why is it significant that marriage ultimately points beyond itself to Christ and the Church? How does this help us understand why marriage is worth protecting and honoring? In what ways can marriages in the church visibly preach the gospel to others? How might remembering this bigger purpose help couples persevere through hardship? MARRIAGE IS A PICTURE OF LOVE AND RESPECT (V33) Why do you think Paul highlights love for husbands and respect for wives? How do love and respect work together rather than compete with one another? What happens in a marriage when love or respect breaks down? If you are married, what is one practical way love or respect can be more clearly expressed in your marriage this week? How can your community group help foster marriages marked by love and respect? Looking Forward How are you doing with the Becoming prayer challenge (logging three hours a week)? How can your community group help you to hold to your commitment and commit to deepening your prayer life? Prayer Focus Pray for husbands to lead with humility, tenderness, and Christ-like sacrifice. Pray for wives to experience safety, honor, and joy as they live out their God-given calling. Pray for marriages to grow in healthy communication marked by truth and grace. Pray for healing where trust has been broken and repentance where sin has been ignored. Pray for couples to resist cultural definitions of marriage and embrace God’s design with faith. Pray for patience and perseverance in hard seasons of marriage. Pray for older couples to model faithfulness and wisdom for the next generation. Pray for younger couples to build their marriages on Christ from the very beginning. Pray for those who desire marriage but are still waiting, that they would trust God’s goodness and timing. Pray for those who are divorced or widowed, that they would experience Christ’s nearness and care. Pray for protection against pride, bitterness, and selfishness in our hearts and homes. Pray for the Holy Spirit to shape our marriages into living pictures of the gospel. Pray for our church to be a place where marriages are supported, restored, and strengthened.
