The 2026 Peace Forum brought together voices from across Community of Christ and beyond to explore what it means to pursue peace in our world today. Held at the Temple in Independence, Missouri, the gathering offered opportunities for reflection, conversation and learning about the ways we can put our commitment to peace into practice.

If you weren't able to join the livestreams last weekend, recordings of several sessions are now available to watch. These include the presentation of the Community of Christ International Peace Award to Bill McKibben and his remarks, a sermon from President Stassi Cramm titled Planting Seeds of Hope, and more.

We invite you to explore these recordings and consider how the messages shared might inspire us to pursue peace in our own communities and everyday lives.

A quick note about the recordings: The first 30 minutes of the videos labelled “Full Service” contain a still image and white noise. You can skip ahead to approximately the 30-minute mark to get to the beginning of the service. We wanted to share this tip so you can enjoy the recordings without missing out!
