Community MINISTRY
LEAD: Jeanne Wieckert

The Community Ministries Team at Prince of Peace seeks to provide opportunities for each member to engage in activities with the purpose of helping people in need within our community and the world. These activities are as close to home as North Fulton Community Charities (NFCC) and the North Central Georgia Affiliate of Habitat for Humanity and as far-reaching as Lutheran World Relief. We try to provide opportunities to serve that fit into everyone’s time, talent, and financial abilities. Some of our projects include:
