Prince of Peace & Zion Endowment Fund Purpose

Prince of Peace Mission

Celebrate God's grace and glory,
Share the message of God's love,
Serve the hopes and hurts of our neighbors and ourselves and
​Strengthen the God given talents of our church family.

The Prince of Peace (PoP) + Zion Fund was created to help do more good in the world by providing financial support to create or support efforts where our faith and compassion for the world connect. 

Prince of Peace is a special church community. When members of Zion Lutheran Church voted to join Prince of Peace, they made their church property a resource for supporting new church ministries. The sale of the property allows their vision to live on through the PoP + Zion Fund. Through the investment of these funds, the PoP + Zion Fund will provide perpetual income to support our goal to ​ do more good both within our church and with our surrounding community.

The Pop + Zion Fund provides financial awards to individuals and organizations that have emphasis on making the world a better place in tangible ways, which would include but be not limited to:

• Supporting local/national/international mission outreach 
• Providing basic human needs 
• Enhancing the ministries of Prince of Peace
