The Care Ministry
There are times in life when a person or family may need special care and greater spiritual and emotional support. Prince of Peace provides several levels of care to all, listed below.
Prayer Ministry
At Prince of Peace, prayer is woven into everything we do. It's not an afterthought—it’s foundational. Our Prayer Chain offers a way for members to share prayer requests by email, while our Prayer Partners are available anytime to pray personally with anyone in need. We’ve seen God work in powerful ways through this ministry, and we are grateful for the faithful individuals who lift others up in prayer.
Care Ministry – Homebound Support
The Care Ministry serves our homebound members who are unable to attend church regularly. Pastors and Care Team members make visits to offer prayer, companionship, and Communion (upon request). We also provide meals and prayer shawls to remind them they are loved and remembered.
Hope and Healing After Loss and Divorce
This support group meets at least once a year for 13-weeks, provides the attendees with pathways towards healing and hope, as they deal with their individual loss.
This Support Group provides a safe place for sharing and caring while going through a very difficult period in the participants' lives.
Divorce Care for Kids is a program designed to minister to children experiencing the challenges of being a child/youth navigating through the emotional challenges of the divorce of parents.
Life’s hardest moments—like the death of a loved one or the pain of divorce—can leave us feeling lost and alone. But healing is possible. GriefShare and DivorceCare are weekly support groups that offer comfort, hope, and guidance through life’s toughest seasons. Each session includes video teaching, group discussion, and practical tools for healing—all within a caring, faith-based community.
GriefShare is for those grieving the loss of a loved one. (Tuesdays Beginning Sept. 9, 7-9 PM in Room 24)
DivorceCare supports those dealing with separation or divorce. (Tuesdays Beginning Sept. 9, 7-8:30 PM in Room 21)
You don’t have to go through this alone. POC:
Funeral Support Ministry
Our Ministry Coordinator and Pastors guide families through the planning stages after the passing of a loved one. This may include: Liturgy, Bible readings, music, organist, soloists (if requested), reception, possible eulogy, etc. The goal is to make the family feel loved, and have the funeral/memorial service/celebration of life that their loved one might have imagined. When feasible, we offer live-streaming of the service, so family across the country who might not otherwise be able to attend, can feel part of the service. We believe he focus of these services to be the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ. For more information, please contact the Church Office at (703)451-5855.

Stephen Ministers offer a listening ear and a non-judgmental presence where love and care are the focus.
