Ministries
Ministries are ways of connecting with community, one another, and meeting needs within the walls of the church
One of the distinctive's of Peace Church is our desire to ensure that every person at Peace is cared for, loved, and known. For this reason we have a Care Team that meets every three weeks to review all of the prayer and care needs of our Peace family. At these meetings we share updates on the various needs and spend time praying together. In between meetings our Care Team members send cards, make phone calls, and hold the needs of Peace folks up in prayer.
To request care or request more information about joining the care team, please call 651-454-4542
Peace Connects is an exciting new ministry that seeks to ensure that every person at Peace is known, cared for, and listened to.

Worship is at the core of everything we do. We worship God with our lives—whether in church or out of it. When we are in church, one of the main ways we worship is with music. Every week, a musical group prepares and leads a selection of songs that connect with the sermon being preached. We lift our voices together and declare that God is worthy to be praised! For the time being, you can join us for worship online at 10:00AM every Sunday. Visit peace-eagan.org/stream to check out past worship services.

Oasis is a safe space for students in our area to come do homework and get some R&R (Rest and Relaxation). While students are going through online or hybrid school models this year, getting help with homework is a little more difficult. We hope to stand in the gap on Wednesday afternoons. We provide a calm, and safe environment where students are expected to complete assignments, study, or read for at least the first hour of their time at Oasis. Then, we have recreational activities, open gym, etc. where students can relax, run off some energy, or just hang with friends. All socially distanced with strict cleaning protocols in place.

Palestinian Christians want to see Israelis and Palestinians live together in peace and equality. That doesn’t happen very often, and the COVID-19 vaccine distribution situation in Israel and Palestine shows it. Israel has been one of the world’s most successful countries in vaccinating. But Kuttab says, “They are refusing to give vaccination to the Palestinians. And we have no ability to obtain them on our own because we are not recognized as a country.” Read more about the situation here.
