Discipleship Classes
We believe that by knowing God’s Word we will be “thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16). Discipleship Classes are offered in Room 202 (unless otherwise noted) every Sunday and cover a wide variety of topics. Teachers aim to uncover biblical truths that equip participants to grow in their love of God.

Redeeming Your Time
January 4 - February 15 at 9:00AM | Room 202
Managing time effectively doesn’t happen by accident. It takes purposeful and intentional effort. This seven-week study is not your average time management seminar, however. It is an extended Christ-centered reflection on the entire scope of our lives. Based on a book by Jordan Raynor, this class will introduce us to seven powerful time- management principles based on the life of Jesus. We will come away with a greater appreciation for this precious gift of time that God has entrusted to us. We will also gain practical strategies for ordering our lives for His glory.

Understanding Global Ministry
January 4 - February 15 at 10:45AM | Room 202
Why is global ministry central to all we do at PCC? Great question. This seven-week class, based on a study by renowned theologian Christopher J. H. Wright, will provide some engaging answers to that question. It will lead us to reflect on God’s heart for the nations throughout scripture and provide a gospel-centered lens through which to evaluate all facets of global ministry. God’s work in this world is much grander and much more personal than we realize. When we understand the essence of global ministry, it will transform everything we do in our church and in our personal life.

Upcoming Classes
Overview of Global Ministry at PCC (Part 1)
February 22, 2026 at 9:00AM | Room 202
PCC believes that since God has a heart for the nations, and we are His people, we should have a heart for the nations, too. But what does that mean for a church like PCC? Join us for an informative two-part series on what global ministry looks like at PCC. In this first session, you will discover several of the basic elements of PCC’s global ministry. You’ll learn about how we work with partners in different parts of the world and focus on three strategic Unreached People Groups (UPGs). Find out how you can be involved in sharing God’s love in practical ways that can touch people all over the globe.
Surprising Aspects of God’s Mission
February 22, 2026 at 10:45AM | Room 202
We all recognize that evangelism and teaching are part of the Great Commission. But does God’s global mission include ministries of compassion, justice, and caring for creation? Christopher J. H. Wright shows us that “gospel-centered integral mission” involves more than evangelism and teaching. The gospel is more far-reaching than we might think.
God’s Heart for the Nations throughout Scripture
February 22, 2026 at 10:45AM | Room 204
God's mission and the mission he has for his people are the great themes of Scripture and reveal his heart for the nations. This class will help you connect your story to God’s, as well as clearly define the actions that make up a faithful Christian's life and witness. As a result of this study, your own heart will become drawn more fully into God's heart for the nations.
Overview of Global Ministry at PCC (Part 2)
March 1, 2026 at 9:00AM | Room 202
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.
Mission and the Local Church
March 1, 2026 at 10:45AM | Room 202
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.
The Many Faces of Global Ministry
March 1, 2026 at 10:45AM | Room 204

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.
