ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Announcements Ministry informs the congregation of the ongoing and upcoming events. By delivering announcements the ministry raises awareness, encourages, edifies, and positively promotes members and visitors with united hearts and one voice. In being of the same mind and one in purpose, the ministry will uphold and strengthen unity within the body and endeavor to carry out the call and purpose of the church in order to praise and glorify God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ both inside and outside the walls.
"Now may the God Who gives the power of patient endurance (steadfastness) and Who supplies encouragement, grant you to live in such mutual harmony and such full sympathy with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, That together you may [unanimously] with united hearts and one voice, praise and glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)."
--Romans 15:5-6 AMPC
FUNDRAISER MINISTRY
The Fundraiser Ministry is consistently mindful of the goals and plans of the entire ministry. In this, we will promote unity and the "Power of One" concept given to us by our Senior Pastor. The committee will establish a vision and have a set goal for each fundraiser and meet or exceed the goals given.
"This is why I thought it necessary to urge these brethren
to go to you before I do and make arrangements in
advance for this bountiful, promised gift of yours, so that
it may be ready, not as an extortion [wrung out of you]
but as a generous and willing gift. [Remember] this;
he who sows sparingly and grudgingly will also reap sparingly and grudgingly, and he who sows generously
[that blessing may come to someone] will also reap generously and with blessings."
--2 Corinthians 9:5-6 AMP
BE LIKE CHRIST
The vision of Be Like Christ is to be a tool that aids the growth of its members in being true exhibitors of the Word; examining, evaluating, and testing ourselves to show the proper fruits of it. As we welcome and receive the Word we will minister in ways that are sincere and relatable, bringing truth to the people and stirring change. As we grow, our desire is to move outside the church walls and bring the Word through dramatic presentation to street corners, schools, parks, and any other places of opportunity.
"Examine and test and evaluate your own
selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves [not Christ]. Do you not yourselves realize and know [thoroughly by an ever-increasing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you—unless you are [counterfeits] disapproved on trial and rejected?"
--2 Corinthians 13:5 AMPC
CHILDREN PRAISE DANCE
The vision of Children Praise Dance is to release true worshipers that radiate the presence of God on the lives of other youth, first, in the church then in the world; blazing a beacon of trust & joy, through dance, because of the Grace they've found only in
Jesus Christ.
“Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are the
people who know the joyful sound [who understand
and appreciate the spiritual blessings symbolized
by the feasts]; they walk, O Lord, in the light and
favor of Your countenance!”
--Psalm 89:15 AMPC
PERFECT PRAISE
(CHILDREN'S PRAISE TEAM)
Within Perfect Praise we aim to encourage children of God to engage in praise and worship as an expression of their personal relationship with Christ. Children’s Praise Team is a ministry that provides a platform for its members to experience and express the message of Christ as a rich treasure through
song and thanks while influencing and leading
others to do the same.
"And they said to Him, do you here what these are saying? And Jesus replied to them, yes; have you never read, Out of the mouths of babes and unweaned infants you have made (provided) perfect praise?"
--Matthew 21:16 AMPC
PRAISE DANCE
Praise Dance aims to exhort and encourage the
Body of Christ and display the Gospel through various styles of dance periodically using flags, props, and
other devices to convey the message of truth presented. The team may dance in solos, duets,
trios or as the entire team. The team may
dance to live or taped singing, spoken word, or recorded sermons. Each selection is grounded
in a scripture and biblical concept.
"You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,"
--Psalm 30:11 AMPC

"Rejoice in the Lord, O you [uncompromisingly]
righteous [you upright in right standing with God]; for praise is becoming and appropriate for those who are upright [in heart]. Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre;
sing praises to Him with the harp of ten strings. Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully [on the strings] with a loud and joyful sound. For the word of the Lord is right; and all His work is done in faithfulness."
--Psalm 33:1-4 AMPC
SELAH
The members of Selah use their personal praise from personal relationship to exhort and teach others about the walk of salvation with Jesus Christ through scripturally based rhythmic poetry, usually accompanied by an instrumental. The goal is that many would be empowered by wisdom and knowledge of the Word of God to step into salvation and navigate through the obstacles that come after the reception of salvation.
"Speak out to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, offering praise with voices
[[a]and instruments] and making melody
with all your heart to the Lord,"
--Ephesians 5:19 AMPC
"Herald and preach the Word! Keep your sense of
urgency [stand by, be at hand and ready], whether the opportunity seems to be favorable or unfavorable. [Whether it is convenient or inconvenient, whether it is welcome or unwelcome, you as preacher of the Word are to show people in what way their lives are wrong.]
And convince them, rebuking and correcting, warning
and urging and encouraging them, being unflagging
and inexhaustible in patience and teaching."
--2 Timothy 4:2 AMPC
OUTREACH
The mission of the Evangelism / Witnessing Team is to daily inspire, encourage, and be an example to the body of Christ and, most importantly, to snatch the lost from the fire (Jude 1:23a AMP). As we evangelize outside the church walls, it is more than speaking about the Gospel. We are held to a higher standard of living it out. Our ambition and goal is to have our hearts and minds set like Jesus Christ, as it is stated by Apostle Paul.
(1 Cor. 9:22 AMP)
"[Strive to] save others, snatching [them] out of [the] fire;"---Jude 1:23a AMP
"I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some."

MISSIONS
Just as GOD reaches out to us while we are yet still sinners, we too shall reach out to a dying world. Through Missions we are able to go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation! This open door has given many opportunities to bless less fortunate pastors and congregants as well as orphans in not only the USA but in India and Africa as well. We have come to see the love. of Christ manifest itself in many countries and recognize that JESUS is the same everywhere!
"Thus my ambition has been to preach the Gospel,
not where Christ’s name has already been known,
lest I build on another man’s foundation;
But [instead I would act on the principle] as it is written, They shall see who have never been told of Him, and they shall understand who have never heard [of Him]."
--Romans 15:20-21 AMPC
INTERCESSORY PRAYER
Intercessory Prayer is a strategic weapon of spiritual warfare using the specific gifts of each member to address spiritual needs. Through prayer, members allow God to use them as vessels to intercede for the Bishop, the leaders, the Body of Christ, and the matters of God's Heart.
"Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose andperseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God’s consecrated people)."

"And Jonathan said to his young armor-bearer, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord will work for us. For there is nothing to prevent the Lord from saving by many or by few. And his armor-bearer said to him, Do all that is in your mind; I am with you in whatever you think [best]."

own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion,

MEN OF HONOR
The men of Prince of Peace Family Ministries unify under and in application of biblical principals so that they may come to know how to take their role as Christ defines rather than as humanity or society defines. We gather to help teach and practice and learn what it means to be a man of GOD inside and outside the walls of the church. GOD is the Father, a son, a brother, a friend, a lover, and yet holds every office consistently. Being made in His image we are also given the opporutnity to learn what it means to be these expressions and all others assigned to us by the Father in Jesus Christ.
"I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know (recognize, be awawre of, and understand) Him Who [has exisited] from the beginning.
