Grace, not guilt

Love, not fear

Something about Peace:

We are 175 year old congregation with an average age of 41 years

We believe that we are placed in Gahanna to share God's good news of grace and serve the needs within our community and beyond

We have a strong staff team that is teachable and listens for God's ongoing call

We are open to where God is leading and work to honor God with excellence in what we do

We take what we do very seriously, but not so much ourselves. Interpretation: we laugh a lot
