2024 ANNUAL REPORT

Today's author is Prince of Peace member Debbie Jorgens. Text: Genesis 12:1-9 “So Abram went, as the Lord had told him….” (12:4) Can you picture it?

A Letter from the Pastor

Dear Friends,

What an incredible year it has been for Prince of Peace! As we reflect on all that we have experienced and accomplished together, I am reminded of the power of stories—stories that shape us, connect us, and inspire us to live out our faith in meaningful ways. That is why our theme for this year, Story Matters, has felt so timely and transformative.

In the compilation of this Annual Report, you will find the stories of our congregation: stories of faith in action, of hope shared, of lives touched by the love of God. These are not just reports of numbers or activities; they are glimpses of how our ministry teams are living into our mission to build the church and love the world.
