The classic approach is classic for a reason.

​We are trying to be as environmental and safety conscious as possible, but we would be happy to give you a printed Pledge Card and self addressed stamped envelope.

Why give to Prince of Peace?

If churches could run on love alone, Prince of Peace would be a well oiled machine.

​In the present world we need financial contributions to pay the Pastors and staff, keep the building safe and warm, and to support special projects that need our help. 

63% of general offering donations go to pay salaries for our full- and part-time professional staff: Pastor, Office Manager, Director of Youth & Service, Director of Music, Organist, and Treasurer.

32% goes to operations expenses including professional musicians, maintenance of instruments & equipment, utilities, advertising, phone, internet, janitorial services, property repair, and mortgage.
​
The final 5% are investments in our ministry, local giving, and donations to the larger church (synod).

Prince of Peace attendees gave an additional funds  to  special projects  that are not reflected in the budget. The number includes over $5000 to provide services to unhoused people, $6500 to a food pantries (not including the food donated) and many thousands worth of tangible goods from sandwiches to pillows that will never be truly accounted for. In addition we have two endowment funds set up to distrbute funds. Last year the Mission Endowment fund gave $15,000 away to various organizations. The Pop + Zion Fund gave $20,000 to our greater church and sent over $40,000 to outside entities. PoPpers are truly generous with both their time and treasure.

Thank you!

We couldn't be here without your support. Thank you for supporting our mission.
