Ministry

We desire for everyone to be connected in some way that challenges them, that grows their faith in Jesus and mutually edifies one another.

Our Ministries

Living as a Disciple of Jesus

Each ministry is designed to grow and give opportunity to living as a disciple of Jesus in the world. Jesus said, "Follow Me," which means we live like Jesus in the world. Here at PVCC, we explain how to do that through our definition of what a disciple of Jesus does:

A Disciple of Jesus is Committed to:

Being with Jesus - Cultivating a vibrant, personal relationship.
Becoming like Jesus - Growing in character and spiritual maturity.
Doing what Jesus did and still does Today - Serving, loving, and sharing the Gospel.

Community Group

Community Groups are small to medium size groups of 8 to 15 people who meet on a regular basis. Each group is based on Acts 2:42-48 with three main purposes for gathering together. First, grow in our love and knowledge of Christ (UP). Second we build up our faith, encourage one another, and care for each other (IN). Third, we find ways to love and serve others so they too can experience the gospel and learn to follow Jesus

Discipleship Groups

Here at PVCC we believe that one of the best ways that we grow in our relationship with Jesus is through relationships with one another through community. One of the ways that we do this is through small groups of people getting together for deeper times of fellowship, teaching, accountability, and doing life together. These groups meet in various places and at various times throughout the year. If you would like more information on how you can get plugged into a discipleship group, please reach out to the church office.

Prayer

We believe prayer is our primary work as a church so it is emphasized throughout all that we do. We describe prayer in the words of Alvin Reid: “Prayer is intimacy with God that leads to the fulfillment of his purposes.” Prayer is part of Community Groups, Discipleship Groups and the different ministries of the church. There are intentional times of corporate prayer for the whole church. These times include monthly prayer meetings on the third Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm. There are also weekly prayer meetings on Tuesdays at 9:30 am and on Sunday mornings, 8:00 am to 9:00 am.

Men's Ministry

Our Men’s Ministry meets every other month for a Saturday morning breakfast. We share our stories, encourage and pray for one another. All are welcome to connect with other guys around good food.

Student Ministry

Student Ministry: Our Student Ministry is the Penns Valley Youth Center. Students can attend the after school programs Monday and Wednesday to find a place of hope, worth and friendship. Wednesday night Youth Group includes a dinner at 6:30 pm, followed by a game, worship and teaching. To go deeper into disciplenship students can join a Life group as well.

Community Kids Ministry

Community Kids Ministry: Our kids Ministry consits of classes for newborn babies to kids age 4; as well as Pre- K up through 6th grade. These classes engage our students in biblical age - appropriate studies, activities, and crafts. All of our teachers have full clearances and have a passion for teaching kids. With the exception of our nursey age kids, our community kids join the adults at the beginning of our gatherings to engage in the worship portion of our service and then are dismissed to their classes before the message portion of the gathering.
