LOVE IN ACTION
WHY WE SERVE
God's love doesn't stop at the church doors.
At Peace, we believe faith comes alive through love and service. Sometimes that means preparing a meal, caring for someone going through a difficult season, helping with worship, or working alongside our neighbors to strengthen our community.
There are many ways to share our gifts, and every act of kindness matters. Together, we seek to reflect God's light in the world around us.
BABY PANTRY
Caring for little ones takes a community. Through the Baby Pantry, Peace helps support local families with diapers, wipes, and other baby-care essentials, offering practical care with kindness and dignity.
If your family could use some support, you are welcome here. Simply begin by contacting We Care Community Resource Center at (269) 637-4342. Their staff will guide you through the intake process and send a referral to Peace, letting us know what your family needs.
And if you're looking for a way to help, there are opportunities to contribute to this ministry, too. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of families in our community.
CARE CREW
Sometimes care looks like a phone call. Sometimes it's a visit, a meal, or simply knowing someone is thinking of you.
At Peace, our Care Crew helps us stay connected and care for one another through life's joys and challenges. Team members offer phone calls, visits, meals, and other practical support as needs arise. Some also assist with monthly communion visits, helping share the gift of Holy Communion with those who cannot gather for worship in person.
Whether you could use a little extra support or feel called to offer it, there's a place for you in this ministry. After all, caring for one another is part of what it means to be a community of faith.
WAYS TO SERVE AT PEACE
There are many ways to help our community gather, worship, and grow together. On Sunday mornings, volunteers usher, welcome guests, hand out bulletins, read Scripture, and assist with Communion. Others share their musical gifts or help prepare the space for worship.
Serving doesn't end with the final hymn. Volunteers host coffee hour by preparing refreshments, serving, and cleaning up afterward. Others help photograph events and special moments so we can remember and share the life of our congregation.
You don't have to do everything—or even know exactly where you'd like to begin. Whether you enjoy welcoming people, sharing your talents, or helping quietly behind the scenes, there's a place for you to contribute. We'd love to help you find a way to share your gifts.
