“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young,
but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct,
in love, in faith and in purity.”
— 1 Timothy 4:12

Every one of us is sent into the world with one mission: to live & love like Jesus.

The goal of Prince of Peace Youth and Family ministry is to equip families to love like Jesus by forming lives of discipleship and mission. Youth opportunities at POP are meant to stretch students into disciples who:

grow in faith

connect in community

serve the world
