Meditation

Church Family,

Our world is often busy, hectic, and chaotic.  For generations, Christians have been blessed during these times through the discipline of meditation.  I submit to you the following article on the subject and encourage your participation.

Blessings!

PVBC  Updates
 
We will be worshiping together in person once again this coming Sunday, March 20th, but we will always have our online option available for those who are unable to make it out in person for any reason.  If you are quarantining, sick, out of town, or otherwise unable to join us on Sunday mornings, we would love for you to watch live with us online or any time throughout the week.  We pray you all stay well and we look forward to seeing you on Sunday!

Wednesday Nights at Pine Valley


Wednesday Night Suppers are currently on hold and will hopefully resume in April.  Thank you for your patience during this time!

Kids

MDWK (Midweek) is our school year program that runs September - May.  This ministry is designed with the entire family in mind.  Each week, our kids (3 years-5th grade) spend time hearing a Bible lesson, practicing Bible skills, learning about missions through activities, and interacting with friends during game time. 

The nursery is open to kids 2 and under during MDWK.  This is a place for our youngest attenders to have fun and begin to discover God's love for them as they are cared for by our volunteers.
​​


Youth

Youth Illuminate (grades 6-12) meets each Wednesday night in the Youth House from 6:30-8:00pm!  Join us each week for a fun time of worship through music and a Bible lesson.


Adults

Adults of all ages are invited to our Adult Bible Study Prayer Meetings on Wednesday nights at 6:30 in the Fellowship Hall!  Join us right after Wednesday night suppers for our weekly Bible study with Pastor Bryan.

We also have a Parent Class that meets at 6:30 in the PVBC Chapel led by Duane & Christine Lahti.  This class is a great opportunity to meet other parents while learning practical strategies to help you disciple your kids!
