Please make plans to join us for WinterGrace on January 31-February 1, 2026! WinterGrace is an annual on-campus retreat for our whole congregation that aims to renew our hearts in a classic theme of God’s grace. This year, our theme is “God’s Grace in Our Fellowship.” Whether you are a member of PCPC or a guest, we hope you will make plans to join us for two days of fellowship, worship, teaching, and music from special guests.
May God use WinterGrace to stir our hearts and re-orient our lives around “the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:7).

10:00-10:45 a.m. / Level Two
“The Fellowship of the Holy Spirit in Christian Life” (The Loft)
Kelly Kapic – Chair of Theology and Culture, Covenant College
The Holy Spirit not only brings us into communion with God but shapes Christian life. Better understanding this reality can both inform our worship and transform our lives. Join award-winning author Kelly Kapic as he shares from his recent book, “Christian Life.”
“Forgiveness and Fellowship in a Cancel Culture” (Cambridge Hall)
Mark McDowell – Executive Director, RTS Dallas; Theologian in Residence, PCPC
When people disagree or sin against you, healthy Christian fellowship can feel difficult to maintain. And in our cancel culture, it can even feel unnecessary. Join us as we explore the Bible’s rich resources for continuing our fellowship through practices like forgiveness, charity, and love.
“God’s Grace in Our Parishes” (Kids Court)
Robby Higginbottom – Assistant Pastor of Community Life
As the people of God, we are the church, but we spend most of our time away from the church building scattered in the places the Lord has called us to live and work and play. And we have a great opportunity to connect to Christ and one another, to abide in Christ, and to extend Christ in these places! Whether you’re interested or already involved, this session will explore why we do parish ministry and how you can be involved.
Saturday Breakout Sessions
11:00-11:45 a.m. / Level Two

In 1 Peter 1:14-16, Peter calls us to not be conformed to our passions but to be holy as God is holy. Why is it important to seek this sanctification together in healthy, intimate Christian relationships? Join us as we share stories and resources to equip us to live as men and women who are being renewed together by God’s grace.
