Ministries
There are many ways to become involved with our church family, including Small Groups, Book Club, and offering your musical talents during our services.
Prince of Peace is also proud to be a part of our local community, by offering our building to groups like the Boy Scouts. If your group is interested in meeting at our church, please contact us.
Benevolences
Prince of Peace believes in tithing. That means we give 10% of the offering we receive away to other agencies that are doing God’s work.
Here are the organizations that we currently support financially:
ELCA
Caritas Outreach Ministries

Lutheran World Relief
Lutherhaven Ministries
Habitat for Humanity Spokane

Caritas
Caritas Outreach Ministries: for over 20 years, a collaborative effort of fourteen Northwest Spokane Churches demonstrating Christ’s love by assisting those in need in our part of town.

POP Little Food Pantry
Good News! Prince of Peace is a sponsor for a Little Food Pantry. The pantry is located just outside the office door. The congregation and community fill the pantry with non-perishable food items and necessities.
On the 2nd Sunday of each month we gather food supplies to help stock the POP food pantry. Check out this month’s newsletter for a list of current needs.
Confirmation
The Goal for our Confirmation Ministry:
- To assist these Confirmands in developing closer relationships with other young people and adults in the congregation
- To assist our young people in developing a living, mature relationship to our Lord Jesus Christ
- To assist our young people in gaining specific knowledge and information about the Christian faith and the Lutheran Church
- To encourage these Confirmands to use scripture, prayer, and worship in their lives
- To provide them with opportunities to explore their feelings and gain some self-understanding
- To provide them with specific skills in sharing their faith at home and school as well as in their community
Music
The music program fosters the talents of our members with the goal of consistently delivering high quality, inspirational music for worship. In doing so, we serve each other and glorify God.
Music for services at Prince of Peace includes piano accompaniment, congregational singing of hymns and liturgy settings, and special music provided by the Adult Choir, Men’s Choir, and Praise Group. Janet Robel is the primary pianist, and Karen Heimbigner graciously substitutes when asked.
Liturgy music and hymns are selected from “With One Voice,” “Lutheran Book of Worship,” and “Evangelical Lutheran Worship;” with occasional supplements from other sources including “Dancing at the Harvest,” “Taize,” and top Contemporary Christian songs. The congregation has diverse musical tastes and enjoys a blended mix of hymns that are familiar and relatively easy to sing. Our Advent “Holden Evening Prayer” services are a congregation favorite, as are the mid-week Lenten services with soup suppers.
Quilters
We have two quilting groups at Prince of Peace that you are invited to join. No special skills are needed to make a difference. If you can tie your shoe, you can tie a quilt.
Quilts for Kids makes quilts that are given to local organizations that serve children and meets the second Tuesday of every month at 9 a.m.
Charity Quilters gather to make quilts that go to Lutheran World Relief, Transitional Living Center Group and Caritas Outreach Ministries as well as students from Prince of Peace who are graduating from high school and families in need at Christmas time. This group meets the fourth Tuesday of every month at 9 a.m. https://popspokane.org/quilters/
