THERE ARE LOTS OF WAYS TO GET CONNECTED!
One of the best ways to get connected is by attending a Discover PBC class, joining a Life Group, and by actively serving in a ministry to make an eternal difference. Pray and ask God if He would have you join the PBC family. What Life Group is He leading you to? How is He calling you to serve?
If you need one-on-one help finding God’s place for you to serve in a PBC ministry or you want to get connected, please contact Pam Janney at dpjanney@verizon.net.
Life Groups
Life Groups at PBC are made up of small groups of people doing life together. Jesus came that we might have life. Life is all about Living In Faith Every day, Living In Fellowship Every day, and Living In Freedom Every day. The way we grow together as a church family is through these groups.
Life Groups consist of these four functions:
Find or start a Life Group! Life Groups at PBC help you do life with other people and grow in your walk with God. Life Groups meet at different times in multiple locations. We have Life Groups that meet every Sunday morning at 9:30 AM, along with many groups that meet during the week i.e., young couples, singles, men’s, women’s etc. Life Groups help you experience the abundance of life together and connect with other people! If you are interested in joining a group, please fill out the response card on Sunday morning, and place it in one of the black boxes as you leave.
Life Group Leadership: We believe that real-life change takes place in the context of relationships. As a Life Group Leader, you have the greatest opportunity to connect with others, fulfill your passions, develop your gifts, and live out the Great Commission. You must be a member of PBC to lead a Life Group. If you are interested in becoming a member or if you are not sure if you are a member, please come to Discover PBC or contact the church office for more information.

Deacon Ministry - The Deacon ministry has both active and assisting deacons along with the opportunity to apprentice as a deacon. Active deacons shepherd families in the congregation through relationships, praying over their families, and setting an example of Christ-like servanthood for the entire body. Assisting deacons support the active deacons by providing tangible care to families in need such as delivering food, making repairs, or providing transportation. The apprentice deacon is simply a deacon-in-training.
Events/Decorating - Church-wide events are creatively planned and energetically hosted by this team who places priority on valuing people, serving with excellence, and pursing evangelism.
CarePortal - This team works with social services to extend tangible care to children in our community who are in need. They provide items such as beds, appliances, vehicles, repairs, etc., so that children can stay with their regular caregivers.
Outreach/Missions - This team is involved in both community and world outreach- doing everything from serving the Stanton River Schools Ministry and the local AGAPE ministry to joining God’s mission oversees. There are many different opportunities, so come find something that you can be a part of!
