About Trash 2 Treasure
Our annual Trash 2 Treasure sale that fills the entire church (and a large tent outside) began in 1996. The sale includes furniture, collectibles, Christmas/holiday items, toys and games, books, crafts, decor items, kitchen/household goods, tools, children’s clothing, and more. Trash2Treasure is held every year on the first Friday and Saturday in August.
The proceeds from the 2023 sale totaled over $41,000, making it the largest and most successful sale in its history. All funds from the sale benefit local and international missions. The proceeds supported the following missions: Youth 4 Christ, Youth With A Mission (YWAM), Bed Brigade, Open Shelter, Helping Hands Medical Equipment Ministry, Lifeline Christian Mission, Pickerington Area Food Pantry, and others.

International Missions
We at Peace Church believe that we are called to serve those all around the world. There are several ways that we are involved in International Missions however two that we are frequently partnered with are Lifeline Christian Missions and Faithful Footsteps.
We partner with Lifeline Christian Missions in meal-packing events, global mission trips, collecting items for hygiene and school supply bags. Ministries are based in Arizona, Canada, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras,
