Prince of Peace Lutheran office and Christian Life Center - 2017According to their website:
The Prince of Peace story began in 1963. We weren’t your typical church. We moved to Burnsville when it was mostly corn fields. We started an outdoor worship service in the old Lucky Twin Drive‐In Theater. Looking to the future and changing to meet the needs of a new generation is in our DNA.
Music and the arts have always been important. We have brought new kinds of music, art and creativity into worship. Hundreds of high school kids have had their lives changed by being a part of our traveling music group. We created a family ministry program that works alongside parents to build faith in our younger generations. We have always partnered with our community, from locating our campus in the Ridges development to our current partnership with The Salvation Army to provide the largest food shelf in the south metro. We have also been blessed to partner with God to serve people in need – in our community, in the United States, and around the world in places like Tanzania and the Dominican Republic.
