Volunteer Opportunities

Would you prayerfully consider serving with PCPC Kids on Sunday mornings? Our classrooms are full of young worshippers, ages 3 months – 5th grade, that need to be fed with God's Word and cared for by the body of Christ. Our children are the future of the church, and we want to extend Christ to them! We invite you to join us as we answer the Lord's call to declare His mighty acts to this next generation. We have opportunities to serve at both 9:30 and 11 a.m. on a monthly, twice-a-month, or weekly rotation. Any adult (or youth under 18) certified through our PCPC Safety System can serve. Youth volunteers under 16 must be accompanied by an adult family member. To find out more, please fill out this interest form, and a member of our team will be in touch to discuss how God can best use your gifts to make disciples of these young worshippers.  

Join us on the 1st Friday of every month to care for children with special needs and their siblings! We will feed you dinner, train you, and then launch you into a night of fun on the PCPC campus with games, a short Bible study with the kids, activities and more. First Friday of every month from August to May. We start at 5pm (dinner and training) with the program beginning at 6pm.

Mercy Street is seeking individuals, couples and families to walk alongside children and their families to close opportunity gaps and ignite transformational change. Mentoring not only transforms mentees, but makes a life-changing impact on mentors. Mentors receive coaching and support from Mentor Coordinators, employed by Mercy Street. Mercy Street asks mentors to commit to this relationship for one year up front.

Mercy Street empowers students to grow up fulfilling their God-given potential, knowing their God-given purpose. One of the ways they accomplish this goal is by running sports leagues in the spring and fall, and sports camps in the summer. Volunteer coaches are responsible for coaching soccer and baseball teams of athletes 18 years and younger for the duration of the season. Assistant coaches are also needed to serve on a more intermittent basis. Both head coaches and assistant coaches are considered role models for athletes assigned to their teams.

Are you looking for a place to serve at PCPC? Do you want to be directly involved in making a significant difference? One way is through Frontline Ministry on Sunday mornings. Frontline is our church-wide welcoming, greeting, and hospitality ministry that engages members and visitors as they arrive in the parking lots, enter PCPC doors and hallways and find their way to the Sanctuary and classrooms. Frontline ensures everyone who comes to PCPC feels welcomed and included. To qualify, all you need is love for the Lord, a caring heart, a warm smile, and a desire to help others. As a member of this ministry, you will be assigned to a team that will serve every fourth or fifth week for 45 minutes at either 9:00 or 11:00 a.m., whichever you choose.
