Youth and Family Ministries

 
 Children, Youth & Family Programs . . . spiritual & relational development for young people & their families          
 
At the center of Prince of Peace’s Growth Ministries program is the understanding that the family is the heart of faith development. Therefore, the faith formation events offered here nurture spiritual and relational development for the whole family.

Where did the Bible come from?  Who wrote it, and why is it so important to our faith?  Many people wrestle with these questions.  Maybe you have heard of certain texts that were "left out" of the Bible, or maybe you have read something that concerns you.  We will get together to have a great time hanging out at camp and talking about some of these important issues.
