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 November, every 2 check-ins at Peace Tree will provide a meal to a child in need. We’re working with Causely and feedONE to make it happen.
You can add #givemeals when you check in to promote the cause. For more info about this month’s non-profit, check out feedone.com. OCTOBER UPDATE: Last month, thanks to Causely and your Facebook check-ins, Peace Tree donated 10 days of care to a child through Compassion International. |
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 November 13-14, 2021. 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 2021 visit was Colonial Park United Methodist Church. 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 by reading our November 2016 blog post. |
