Prince of Peace Episcopal Church

About this church

Prince of Peace Episcopal Church in Gettysburg celebrates Holy Eucharist Sunday at 8:00 and 10:15 a.m. The early Rite II service has no music; the later service includes hymns, choral anthems, and service music. Children's Sunday School meets at 9:00 during the school year. Children of every age are welcome in worship and may receive Communion or a blessing at their parents' discretion. A nursery room contains toys, a crib, rocker, and changing table, while an adjacent parlor carries the service through audio and livestream for toddlers who need room to move.

A spoken Wednesday Eucharist begins at noon and offers a smaller gathering with a conversational homily and liturgy drawn from several Episcopal sources. The adult choir rehearses Thursday and leads the 10:15 Sunday service during its active season, with individual musicians contributing in summer. Prince of Peace traces its local history through Gettysburg's Civil War era and frames its current mission around worship, welcome, formation, and service. Parish groups support prayer, learning, fellowship, outreach, and pastoral care. The choice between a quiet early Eucharist and a music-rich later service, combined with a true midmorning education hour, gives newcomers a particularly clear range of traditional Episcopal experiences.
