History
The Prince of Peace Church was founded over 52 years ago and organized as American Baptist. The church was located in Oak Park, CA. In 1964, the original members from Oak Park baptist decided to relocate to the current location now which is, 7501 Franklin Blvd., Sacramento CA and changed the name from Oak Park Baptist to Judson Memorial. In the year 1959, the Meadowview Church of the Brethren was formed, and was located about 3 miles from Judson Memorial Baptist Church. In 1960, an ecumenical parish was formed. Both Judson Memorial Baptist Church and Meadowview Church of the Brethren participated in an ecumenical ministry. They became acquainted with one another. In 1969, the two congregational worshiped together during that summer. It was decided at that time to merge the two churches into a single congregational to be housed at the Judson Memorial Baptist Church Site. As a result in 1970, Prince of Peace Church was formed.
