CM 4/5 Leadership Squad | Kids in grades 4 and 5 who are interested in being part of the Children’s Ministry leadership team. This group will meet monthly, either via Zoom or in person when it becomes safe to do so, with Swen to discover and develop gifts to be used in leadership throughout Children’s Ministry and beyond. Watch your email for more information.

Parent Leaders | As we make the transition from age-divided small groups to family groups, we are excited about the opportunity to journey with parents and grandparents as they take on the role of leading their families in activities and discussions each week. As we firmly believe that if we want our children to have a faith that influences the way they live their lives, from the friendships they choose to the decisions they make, that faith needs to be nurtured at home. We are committed to partnering with and equipping parents and grandparents for this life-changing role and will use these conversations as an opportunity to do so. This group will meet monthly, either via Zoom or in person when it becomes safe to do so, for encouragement and prayer support. Watch your email for more information.

In Baptism God grabs hold of us and promises to never let go. Baptism is also a time for friends, family and the Prince of Peace community to promise to help those who are getting baptized to grow in their love for God, each other and the world.

The Child Development and Learning Center (CDLC) offers a safe, loving Christian environment with respect and support for all children and families. We provide opportunities for each child to define self, understand who they are and discover their role within the community.

CDLC of Prince of Peace, founded in 1971, is a Christian preschool for children ages 3 to 5. We welcome children of any cultural background or religious affiliation.

At CDLC we strive to provide and develop strong self-esteem in our children allowing them to grow spiritually, socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively. The curriculum is carefully designed to provide hands-on activities for children in the areas of large motor, cooking, music, creative arts, science and story.
