Who We Are and What We Do - Our Ministries

Our ministries are who we are and what we do. Our ministries are the use of our individual gifts and talents, time, and energy. Each of us is a minister in that we all strive to offer service using the special capacity God has given each of us to instruct and help others.

In this section you can explore and discover the ministries of the people of Prince of Peace. If you are a visitor, learn about our church and what we are about. If you are a member, we hope you can find something here that uses your own unique gifts and talents and gives you a passion to get involved.

Discover and Share Your Gifts PDF Print E-mail

Our GiftsWe are all called to be active in the ministry of the church. God never intended for church to be a spectator sport:

 

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light (1 Peter 2:9).

 The Royal Priesthood means all of us - a "Priesthood of All Believers". We are all ministers.

Each of us has important work to do in the church, each with our own God-given abilities, skills and passions. We each have unique gifts to offer in fulfilling God's work. 

It is he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-13).

So if we each have special gifts to offer and share, how do we discover what they are? You can use the information in this article to discover your gifts. Then you can share them by volunteering.
