our partners
One of our core values is to love our neighbors. We encourage people to do this individually and we do it corporately – reaching out as Peace Community Church to our neighbors. We host community events, partner with neighborhood schools, and serve in strategic community organizations.
LOCAL IMPACT
Real Help for Homeless
Our work and care for the homeless in our area isn’t typical. They actually are part of our fellowship and community, and we consider them our friends.
​
We provide encouragement, and design our support so as not to enable. Rather, we seek to encourage personal responsibility so that our friends maintain their self-respect while fellowshipping with us.
​
We have run a food bank from our church, supported the Kings Ministry, a former Colfax homeless ministry, and the Women of Peace group finds new ways to serve the needy each year.
​
Entertainment for All
As part of our service, we have brought educational Christian entertainers and entertainment into our church for the benefit of members and the community.
​
WaToTo Children’s Choir provided a colorful lively concert for their US fundraising tour; Ted and Co offered us lots of laughs with their Christian Comedy Acts; The Galloping Gourmet, Graham Kerr and his wife, shared their testimony from alcoholism and fame to Christian witness.
We’ve been blessed by musical performers and concerts including Blue Grass bands such as Colorado’s own, Fireweed, Classical Guitarist, Dave Evans, and even Opera Singer, Sarah Michaels.
​
Community Socials
We like to share the fun life found in Christ with our community and enjoy it among our members.

Choirs and Music
We like to share the fun life found in Christ with our community and enjoy it among our members.

Mennonites have long been known for beautiful choral singing. In an effort to keep challenging music that feeds the soul and builds the brain, our church members encourage and participate in choral programs of colleges, local Mennonite and other choral groups and church singing groups. And, of course, invite musicians to express their talent during worship and special events.
