PRINCE OF PEACE LUTHERAN CHURCH
Prince of Peace has been blessed over the 50+ years of its ministry in the community of Fremont in the Bay Area of California. We have fellowship groups for all ages and learning opportunities for all levels of need. In addition, we have a wonderfully well-balanced, highly accredited Christian school and preschool.
We are especially excited to be in partnership with our Mandarin, Burmese and Telugu ministries. Our facility also welcomes different community groups such as Al-Anon, Community Bible Study, Young Life, and various open gym nights.
We want you to be part of a Christian community and have more than 10 small groups in additon to larger groups so that you can find your niche!
A Little More About Us
We are a Christian fellowship that believes God has done something incredible for us: He has brought us back into a relationship with Himself through what Jesus has done. Because of His love for us, Jesus paid the price for our failures to do God's will perfectly. By faith in Jesus we receive forgiveness and a renewed relationship with God so that we might live each day with Him as our heavenly Father.
Our purpose is to spread this good news of what God has done and to help each other grow in trusting God and following Him more closely. Everyone is invited to every worship opportunity. For more information on our worship services, click here. For education opportunities, click here. If you have young people in your home, check out our youth page.
Everyone is welcome to join us in any of our fellowship activities. For those ready to take the next step of commitment to spiritual growth, we encourage a commitment of membership to the fellowship of Prince of Peace. Membership consists of three things:
Membership Commitments
1. Commitment to the teaching
What a person believes is critically important. For that reason, all members share a common, basic faith. These basic teachings are examined in the two classes "Basics" and "Second Step" (or one can transfer membership from a sister church of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, but we encourage everyone to attend these classes before meeting with our pastors about membership).
2. Commitment to fellowship
God calls us to be in partnership with each other, to support, to encourage, and to have a healthy accountability. For this reason, membership includes a commitment to worship and to be actively involved in developing relationships with each other around God's Word.
3. Commitment to purpose
The purpose of a church is to share the love and truth of God which he showed us in Christ so that more people believe and to encourage those who have this faith. For this reason, membership includes a commitment to use your abilities, time, and financial resources to help the church accomplish this purpose.
We believe...
1. The ultimate answers and hope for life comes from God.
2. There is one God, who is three persons in one, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He made all things.
3. Every person needs a relationship with God, but every person is naturally separated from Him due to the fact that everyone has failed to do God's will perfectly. It is impossible to have a true relationship with Him by our own ability and left to ourselves, we are destined to be separated from Him and under His punishment.
4. God loved us so much that He became human, the person of Jesus. He taught us about God, lived a perfect life, suffered the punishment of our sin by dying on the cross for us, and was physically raised back to life. He ascended into heaven to fully exercise his glory and authority as God.
5. By faith Jesus, God gives the gift of forgiveness and removes all that separates us from a relationship with Him. This saving faith is created by God as a person hears the message of Jesus and as God works through baptism.
6. On the last day, Jesus will return and will raise up bodily all the dead, to give to every believer a glorified body and eternal life and will condemn all those who have ignored or rejected his forgiveness.
7. A true spiritual relationship with God is a growing process throughout your life, so believers need to encourage each other, meeting together regularly for worship, study, prayer, to celebrate the Lord's Supper, and to love and care for each other.
