Peace Missionary Baptist Church

About this church

Peace Missionary Baptist Church worships Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at 2608 NC Highway 55 in Durham, with the service also carried on its website, Facebook, and YouTube. The church publishes a Wednesday prayer meeting at 8:00 p.m. and Friday Bible study at 7:30. Choirs, Sunday school, Bible study, and a broad ministry roster—including women, deacons, missionaries, health, nursery, and youth—give newcomers several ways to participate beyond the main service. The congregation’s mission is to mold believers and influence the world.

Peace began when the Rev. William E. Daye and nineteen former Ebenezer Baptist members decided they had enough people to worship together on July 28, 1974. The name was chosen to express a church where God could abide without strife and confusion. A first permanent sanctuary was purchased on East Main Street later that year; the present Apex Highway sanctuary was dedicated in 1995. That history helps explain the church’s emphasis on family, spiritual growth, relationships, teamwork, and service. Community photographs document blood drives, Urban Ministries volunteering, Vacation Bible School, graduations, and cultural celebrations. First-time visitors can attend in person or preview the distinctly Missionary Baptist worship online.
