Prince of Peace Church
AI Summary
Founded in 1902 and serving Portsmouth’s Brighton neighborhood for over 122 years, Prince of Peace Church proudly calls itself the “Little Church in Brighton with the BIGGEST HEART.” The congregation runs active community outreach — notably the Bishop Samuel L. Mackey Community Garden (est. 2022), now a 30 x 50 ft plot that has provided over 1,500 servings of fresh vegetables and partners with the Black Church Food Security Network — and a vibrant youth ministry that has sent 150+ young people to Camp Courageous and hosted a 2024 summer camp. The church offers both in-person and live-streamed Sunday worship (Facebook and YouTube), weekly Bible studies (including a children’s study and biweekly Table Talk), and is running a "360 Campaign" to raise $36,000 in 36 months while seeking Interim Guest Ministers for transitional worship leadership. Visitors can connect or learn more via outreach@popcva.org, (757) 399-0291, the church’s social channels (Facebook: theprinceofpeacechurch; Instagram/Twitter/YouTube: popcva), or through online giving (Givelify, CashApp); a special Baptism Sunday is scheduled for Oct. 27, 2024.
