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 July, every check-in at Peace Tree will provide 50 gallons of drinking water to people in need. We’re working with Reach by Causely and H2OpenDoors to make it happen.

You can add #givewater when you check in to promote the cause. For more information about this month’s charitable organization, check out .

JUNE UPDATE: Last month, thanks to Causely and your Facebook check-ins, Peace Tree was able to plant 10 trees and help reverse the effects of deforestation (plantwithpurpose.org). Thank you for checking in!

Serve Others With BRO & SIS

Learn more about our newest volunteer groups by visiting the pages for BRO and SIS. Brothers Reaching Out and Sisters In Service 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 August 18-19, 2018. 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 year's visit was Trinity United Methodist Church located in Midtown. Click HERE to see pictures from this year's 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.

SIPNA Family Fun 5K Run/Walk

For the 3rd year in a row, Peace Tree partnered with the Sea Isle Park Neighborhood Association's Family Fun 5K Run/Walk. This year's race took place on April 28, 2018. Friends from our House Groups ran, walked, and volunteered during the event.

Hundreds of people have enjoyed this fun but challenging 5K, and the overall winner in last 2017's Women's Division is a friend of Peace Tree! If you'd like more information about next year's SIPNA Family Fun 5K Run/Walk, then visit their website HERE.
