Peace United Church of Christ has a proud, 118 year history of service in the Greensboro area and throughout the world. With our roots in the Reformed tradition of Protestantism, we have long understood that our call from the ‘Still speaking’ God is one of faithful service to our neighbor and faith-filled living through God’s holy Word and the sacraments of communion and baptism. Through passionate and hope-filled worship, joyous congregational fellowship, and committed service to “the least of these,” we strive to live out the call of Christ as people of “the Way.”
