Prince of Peace 1980Located at 13901 Fairview Drive, according to their website:
The Prince of Peace story began in 1963. We weren’t your typical church. We moved to Burnsville when it was mostly corn fields. We started an outdoor worship service in the old Lucky Twin Drive‐In Theater. Looking to the future and changing to meet the needs of a new generation is in our DNA.
Music and the arts have always been important. We have brought new kinds of music, art and creativity into worship. Hundreds of high school kids have had their lives changed by being a part of our traveling music group. We created a family ministry program that works alongside parents to build faith in our younger generations. We have always partnered with our community, from locating our campus in the Ridges development to our current partnership with The Salvation Army to provide the largest food shelf in the south metro. We have also been blessed to partner with God to serve people in need – in our community, in the United States, and around the world in places like Tanzania and the Dominican Republic.

Prince of Peace expansion 2018Prince of Peace website provides this update: We’ve witnessed tons of dirt removed to create new basement space and the new 23,000 square foot addition on the east side of the Worship Center building. Basement footings and walls began mid-September along with the plumbing and electrical rough-ins for the basement. In October the drain tile was installed, basement slab was set and basement steel and precast have begun. The new elevator shaft has been placed for the oversized elevator that will accommodate up to six wheel chairs.
The interior of the former child care area and Community Room has been completely cleared, and some mechanical/electrical/plumbing systems have been removed to make way for new systems in completely redesigned space. This building section had a new roof installed in October. Some steel has been removed from this area, and new steel was delivered for the final demolition to be completed at the former “Door B” entrance.
Our construction project remains very close to schedule! We’re projecting the new addition to be enclosed by the end of January, when extensive interior work can begin. Anticipated final completion is Labor Day 2019.
