  • The Foal of a Donkey
    Apr 13 2023

    Pastor Kris and Dr. Durbin answer a question submitted by one of our listeners: What do we know about the donkey upon which Jesus rode into Jerusalem? If it was a young, untrained animal, should we consider it a miracle that Jesus was not thrown off its back on Palm Sunday? Listen as they discuss the many passages of Scripture that inspired Jesus' actions that day and the texts that the Gospel writers referenced when telling the story of Jesus' triumphal entry. Email us at office@peacetree.church with questions you'd like our pastors and church staff to answer in future episodes.

    Join us at our special Confirmation Sunday worship service, April 16 at 10:00am in the Sanctuary at 9315 E Shelby Dr, Collierville, TN 38017. We also have an upcoming concert and talent show to benefit Lakeshore Camp & Retreat Center taking place Saturday, April 22 at 5:30pm.

  • The Highs and Lows of Church Planting
    Mar 23 2023

    Pastor Kris and Dr. Durbin reflect on the journey that the Peace Tree congregation has taken so far – from the early days of church planting with a small launch team in 2015, to Sunday services inside a movie theater by 2017, and ultimately to a church merger with an established congregation which owned a church building in 2019. They also discuss church revitalization efforts and new church starts within the Tennessee-Western Kentucky conference of the United Methodist Church.
