Land & Building

Part of our vision is to have all ministry under one roof, with a welcoming front door and large gathering spaces. In order to accomplish this, we have embarked on our One Church Transformation building project. Read up on the history of the land and building process and stay informed with regular construction updates on the Land & Building Blog.

Vision Team

In September 2013, Susan Allen, Rob DeMars, Matt Johnson, Pat Kasell and Katie Smith, Tim Horton, along with Jeff Marian, Jane Victorey and Susan Jambor started where the Renewal Task Force left off and began their journey to help the leadership at Prince of Peace achieve the following outcomes:

  • Broadened involvement and formation of the congregation
  • Clarity about the congregation’s mission and values
  • Discernment and adoption of a vision
  • Commitment on the part of the congregation’s leaders to achieve this vision

In July 2014 the Prince of Peace Board of Directors accepted the Vision Team’s presentation. The Board affirmed an Implementation Team to begin earnest work on this vision. Over fifty years ago, God set us on a trajectory that now leads us to the opportunity to make a bigger impact in our community than ever before through collaboration with others.

Renewal Task Force

In December 2012, a Renewal Task Force was gathered to study and reflect on demographics and trends at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, as well as the Burnsville area and the surrounding community. After 6 months of meetings, they have compiled a 15 page report on their findings and their recommendation to form a team that will explore and envision a new future for Prince of Peace.
