Discipleship Classes

Funding PCC’s global ministry work is a vital part about getting the gospel to the ends of the earth. But how are our Global Ministry Partners supported at PCC? In this engaging session, Tom Kenney will outline the role of money in global ministry. If you’ve ever had questions about how your financial support can make a huge difference in reaching the nations, join us for this session. Find out how giving can be a tangible way that you can take the gospel to the ends of the earth.

In this final session of the “Understanding Global Ministry” class, Christopher J. H. Wright will review the main theme of this study: that God’s people exist in the world for the sake of God’s mission. At PCC, we fully embrace the reality that we are on mission with God. Global Ministry is not about us—it’s about God’s heart for the nations. What an honor that God invites us to join Him on His mission! Join us for this session and discover your place in God’s mission.

Sometimes people have a limited perspective on what Global Ministry means. In this class, we will have several of our partners sharing about various aspects of Global Ministry. We’ll hear from Gantumur & Deegi Badrakh (Cru Military), Meredith & Sandy Elder (Serge — member care), and Jason & Christy Sutton (Serve the City). You may be surprised at what Global Ministry looks like here in our own region of Virginia.

How Your Limits Reflect God’s Design and Why That’s Good News: Many of us are trying to do way too much. What we need is not better time-management techniques, but a greater appreciation of our human limitations. Kelly Kapic, professor at Covenant College, offers a theological perspective on our humanity. Instead of seeing our limitations as sin, we should rest in the way God has designed us. If you find yourself becoming frustrated with all of your human limitations, this study will serve as a breath of fresh air. We’ll discover that God can use our limitations to foster freedom, joy, growth, and community.

Art does more than highlight the creativity of human artists. The beauty that is captured in art is a reflection of the beauty of God and His creation. The goal of this 4-week course is to help us practice ways to abide in Christ and to share the gospel through art. Patty Clark and Mary Ellen Dreybus will lead us on a journey through the arts as a means of strengthening our walk with Jesus.

Baptism and the Lord’s Table are two sacraments given to the church to remind us visually of the gospel of Christ, as well as to affirm the faith of God’s people. It is vitally important to understand the significance of these sacraments for you or your child. Discerning conversion in our children can often be a difficult task and one that parents should approach with great care. If you are looking for help in walking with your kids through this process, or if you have trusted in Christ and desire to follow Him in baptism, then this class is for you. Join us as we address what these two sacraments mean for you or your child.
