Rooted in Community,
Centered in Service
Prince of Peace was established in 1970 as a center for service in the historic African American neighborhood of Warnersville in Greensboro, NC.
Two years later, alongside programs for youth development, housing, and social services, a worshiping community was born.
Now we are a multicultural, LGBTQIA+ affirming congregation with a legacy of raising up leaders, centered on African descent witness and service with our neighbors.
We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation which means we celebrate people of all sexual orientations and gender expressions.
