Beliefs and Affirmations
 

You’ve come to this website because you are curious about God, about Peace, and whether this community might be a good fit for you. Everything does not have to be sorted out or perfect to worship here. Each of us are “simultaneously saint and sinner.” – Martin Luther.

 

  • The Trinity guides us: God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
  • God’s love is what frees us to serve and work with our neighbors.
  • The Jesus we read about in scripture is directly tied to our understanding of who we are as Christians today.
  • Written in a different time and place, these accounts are not to be taken literally.
  • They are to be chewed over and carefully applied to our context here in NWA.
  • The Holy Spirit is at work in, with, and through us to share the good news in our community and the wider world.
  • All are welcome to worship and serve in leadership positions. Gender, race, sexuality, favorite sports team (we’re careful with this one!) and your home town are never barriers here.
  • Young ones are a gift. All ages join in praising God through worship, whether using the interactive play table or sharing a joyful noise!
  • Christian-based high quality childcare is important and often out of reach. PeaceKids Learning Center and Preschool serves the community by providing quality care and education at affordable rates.
  • God commands us to feed the hungry. The Peace Food Pantry operates in the principle that no one goes hungry by serving the community twice a week.
  • God created all creatures, great and small. These creatures give us a glimpse into God’s unconditional love.
  • God’s little ones are cherished blessings from above. The Lily Pad Quilters create and provide hand-made quilts to those at Arkansas Children’s Hospital Northwest.
  • There’s a place for you here, where you will be known and loved.
  • This world can bring us down, yet during these heavy times the people of Peace lift each other up in prayer and support.
  • Church can be fun, silly, thought-provoking, and serious all wrapped into one.
  • You are a beloved child of God. Come as you are to encounter the God who loves you more than you could possibly imagine.
