Lay Ministers’ Conference registration now open

The 2025 Lay Ministers’ Conference will be held March 28-30, 2025 at Honey Creek. In listening to the feedback from the strategic planning survey, one of the common themes was the need and want for connection across and to the diocese. This year’s Lay Ministers’ Conference will be one of the ways the Diocese can facilitate that community building.

The conference will be from Friday, March 28 to Sunday, March 30 in order to give participants plenty of time to focus on different types of connection: connection to God, to community, and to each other. Led by the Rev. Callie Swanlund, participants will be given the time and space to replenish their spirit and renew their commitment as lay ministers in the Church. Callie will teach participants about holistic practices to assist with ministry burnout, and tools that will equip them to continuing to serve their home parishes.

Register Today!!

Children and Youth Information

King of Peace currently provides two educational opportunities for children and youth…

1. Children and Youth Church. This is for children from K – 12th grade. Children leave at the beginning of the sermon and return during the Passing of the Peace. Children go to the conference room and have a lesson based on the weekly bible reading. We are currently doing the one room schoolhouse model but will break into age appropriate groups as the need arises.
2. KOP – YC. This is a youth group for children from K – 12th. They meet the 2nd Sunday of each month from 4:00 – 6:00. This fall we will be using “ A Child’s Guide to the Holy Eucharist” as we explore the meaning of communion. We also have times of fellowship such as bonfire with s’mores, attending a Jacksonville Icemen hockey game and Christmas caroling.
