Families & Children
The Prince of Peace Families & Children Ministry exists to provide families with a Christ-centered place to receive resources, encouragement, and training to make disciples in their homes.
Our vision is for parents to be instructed, trained, encouraged, and coached to pass the Christian faith on to their children through spiritual conversations, family devotions, life connections, rites and rituals, in a natural “as you go” manner. Our goal is for children not to just know about Jesus, but to get to know Jesus and His love for us.

Sunday School
POP! Kingdom is our Sunday School for kids from age 3 thru 12th grade. Classes are typically held between Worship Services on Sunday mornings, during the School Year (September-June). During the summer session, (June-August) we combine classes.
Parents/guardians will check their children into their Sunday School classes on the lower level of the church at 9:15am on Sundays. Parents/guardians will be given a tag number that matches their children’s number, and will show that number to pick them up at 10:15am.
For more information or to volunteer, please email the Church Office or call (703)451-5855. Please see POP Small Groups list for current Adult groups that meet on Sunday mornings.

The First Communion class is usually held on a Sunday during the Sunday School hour and is designed for 3rd–6th grade students and a parent to attend together. It's fun, informative, and interactive. Contact our Minister to Families & Children to register for the next available class.

Confirmation is an important part of spiritual growth in the Christian faith. Confirmation classes provide an environment for students to learn, discuss, and ask questions about their faith.
