We have discovered that the most effective way to demonstrate our heart for our neighbors is to serve them. We believe that saved people –that is, people who know that it’s not about what they do but it’s about what Jesus has done – are people who are motived to serve.
They appreciate the grace and mercy God has extended to them, and in response to God’s goodness they want to give back to help others discover the same grace and mercy they have experienced.
At PCC we have all kinds of opportunities for service through our hospitality teams, NextGen Ministries, security, grounds, facility, Community night, Holy Hammer, Senior Care, Friday club … and the list goes on and on and on.
Once you have experienced the saving grace of Jesus, it should turn your heart to extend yourself in service to one another and our neighbors, because saved people serve people.
If you know where you want to serve go ahead and click the button below. If you're not sure, read through the descriptions below and see where you can give back to help our neighbors find and follow Jesus.
