Missions

“We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.” – John Stott

 

Our Mission Team’s goal is to be wise stewards of God’s resources using them to leverage our influence

to reach the world for Christ. Our policy is grounded Scripturally and supports PGCC’s ministry model:

Love God, Love Others and Serve Others.

 

Below see the list of ministries and individuals that we have gladly supported at a variety of levels. Each

of these ministries are our partners in fulfilling Jesus’ command to make disciples of “all nations.”

(Matthew 28:18-20).

Missions Policy

Achieve a clear sense of direction and be good stewards of our missions dollars.

 

We define missions as any endeavor outside our local congregation to fulfill the Great Commission of Christ by proclaiming the gospel of Christ, making disciples and relating to the whole need of mankind – spiritual and physical.

 

Our policy is grounded scripturally and supports our church’s ministry model: Love God, Love Others and Serve Others. We hope to build devoted followers of Jesus who love God passionately, are learning to love others unselfishly, and are discovering their place of service in the Kingdom of God. We hope that our members will want to be a part of building the Kingdom of God by helping fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus.
