Mercy Ministries

The PCPC Diaconate oversees two mercy ministries designed to meet the spiritual and physical needs of individuals in our community:

Good Samaritan Ministry

The Good Samaritan Ministry (Good Sam) exists to fulfill the command of Christ to love your neighbor as yourself. Good Sam pursues this calling by ministering to neighbors outside our church body with financial and material assistance to demonstrate and proclaim the Gospel. Good Sam ministers to those neighbors who come to us in a crisis by praying with them, providing financial assistance, and pointing them to other resources. These neighbors are individuals outside the PCPC body referred to us by City Missions Ministry Partners or PCPC members.

Would you like to help? The Good Samaritan Ministry is a way you can be the hands and feet of Christ, reaching out to those in need. For more information or to volunteer for the Good Samaritan Committee, please contact Jessica Fikkert at jessica.fikkert@pcpc.org.

Faith & Finances

Faith & Finances (developed by Chalmers) is a financial education ministry that empowers low-income people with practical money management skills, biblical stewardship principles, and supportive relationships.

Faith & Finances is different from many other financial education programs. It’s not about helping participants achieve wealth or material success. Rather, it aims to empower participants to experience restoration in their finances—and in their relationships.

Beginning with a 10-week Faith & Finances class, participants discover how Jesus is reconciling all things—including their money—and how God is using their finances to accomplish His work in the world. They also learn how to track income and expenses, save money, plan for emergencies, and pay off debt. At the same time, they receive support and encouragement from allies who walk alongside them as they learn.
