Peace Tree Mission

Our mission is simple and grand all at the same time: "Love God by Loving Others." As Christ-followers, we believe that the best way we can fully express our love to God is by loving others. We do this by breaking bread with one another, by praying for each other, by studying Scripture together, and by welcoming others into the Peace Tree family.

We believe that all people are created in the Image of God. By respecting others and seeing others through God's eyes, we acknowledge that all people are made by the Creator of the universe. We're called to love others with our presence, by extending hospitality, by sharing our resources, and by loving others the way God loves us. Ultimately, we know that God is Love.

This August, every 10 check-ins at Peace Tree will provide a brick towards the construction of a school in Senegal. We’re working with Causely and buildOn to make it happen.

You can add #bricks4schools when you check in to promote the cause. For more info about this month’s non-profit, check out buildon.org.

JULY UPDATE: Last month, thanks to Causely and your Facebook check-ins, Peace Tree provided 5000 gallons of water to communities in need through our partner, H2OpenDoors.

Volunteer with BRO, SIS & UMW

Learn more about our newest volunteer groups by visiting the pages for BRO, SIS, and UMW. Brothers Reaching Out, Sisters In Service, and United Methodist Women offer opportunities for men and women to serve others in the community while growing closer to members of the Peace Tree family. It's a great way to meet new friends while helping those in need.

So far, these groups have partnered with My Town Miracles, the Manna House, Page Robbins Adult Day Center, and the Dorothy Day House of Memphis. This page features a picture from a recent gathering. Ladies from SIS filled purses with feminine & hygiene products to be distributed to women experiencing homelessness. Contact us today for more information.

Guatemalan Consulate Visit

Peace Tree partnered once again with Iglesia Metodista Unida "El Redentor" to host the Guatemalan Consulate for a two-day visit to the Memphis area September 21-22, 2019. The consulate assists our neighbors with forms and other documentation that will ensure these persons have up-to-date passports, official government identification cards, marriage licenses, and birth certificates.

The partner church and host site for this 2019's visit was Trinity United Methodist Church located in Midtown. Click HERE to see pictures from the mobile consulate. Contact us today to learn how you and your friends can volunteer at future events. Learn more about the consulate visit in our November 2016 blog post.

Boundless Love Sabbath Retreat

The Boundless Love Sabbath Retreat is a weekend retreat full of rest, relaxation, worship, and fellowship. It's your chance to connect and meet with others who are walking similar journeys whether that be waiting, fostering, adopting, or a little of each.

We believe that we need to be filled and renewed by a community of sisters in Christ who “get it.” It is our mission to provide opportunities for growth, hope, love, connection and support.
