Friedens is a congregation of deep-rooted traditions. However, traditions in the world
change from year to year. The Worship Committee is responsible for organizing the
overall worship experience of our church so that God's Word is presented authentically
to multiple generations. This is a daunting task when taking into consideration the
speed at which technology evolves and our world "shrinks" due to the speed of
communication. These members have lead the way in producing skits, contemporary
music, video and Power Point presentations, and more all with glorifying God as their
motivation.

Praise Sound is filled with energy and flexibility in Christ. This group of talented
volunteers, with the assistance of the staff, leads our contemporary worship service
"New Roots". One moment they are leading the congregation in a thoughtful, quite
song and the next they have the same congregation on their feet clapping to the rhythm
of the guitars and drums. Praise Sound demonstrates their faith by living the belief that
God is still speaking the same message but in a different way.

| Historical Committee |
Friedens has a rich history since 1834. Members of the historical committee are responsible for perserving our historical records and photographs. In addition they continue to add to our historical records as events in the church occur. They are in the process of translating about 100 years of old German records into English to learn about our ancestors walk in faith. We also assist people in genology searches of their families who had attended Friedens.
