Home Groups

A PCC home group is a small group of adults who gather weekly to study, encourage each other and work towards spreading God’s fame locally and globally. Group leaders have proven themselves as men who love God and are committed to His people, and they use an inductive, discussion-based approach to Bible study. Guests are always welcome!

Home Groups take a break over the summer and (re)form in September each year.

PCC provides on-site childcare for evening home groups. This is available for those home groups that meet at PCC as well as a drop-off site for those meeting at other home groups in the vicinity. Home group leaders with groups meeting on-site need to submit their schedules to the Childcare Coordinator at the beginning of each semester. If any changes in the schedule occur, they need to contact the Childcare Coordinator as soon as possible. Leaders will be notified if childcare is unavailable for any session. PCC reserves the right to cancel childcare and leaders will be contacted (ex. inclement weather, workers unavailable, building issues)

Childcare will be offered for children ages 3 months to 11 years old and hours will be 5:45 - 8:15 PM. All children MUST be picked up by 8:15 PM. Children will be in age-appropriate classrooms with games, videos and activities.

The fee for childcare will be $40/child with a max of $60/family each semester. The fee helps off-set childcare costs but does not fully fund the program so donations are also welcome. Please note the children must be registered and childcare paid for prior to attending so that we can have the appropriate number of workers. The registration fee is not due until the family has committed to a specific home group.

Children must be registered at the beginning of each semester. New members can be added at any time but families must contact the Director of Children's Ministry prior to attending to ensure availability. Register for childcare here.

The parent or guardian bringing the child(ren) must be attending a home group while the child is in care. Parents must provide proper contact information while the child is in care. If sufficient workers are not available to cover the amount of children present, parents will be asked to rotate in to assist in the childcare rooms. Children cannot be left unattended at PCC while a parent or guardian attends a home group; each child must be registered for childcare or signed up to volunteer as a helper. Parents and children must abide by all of PCC Children's Ministry policies for wellness and behavior.

If the cost of childcare prevents a family from attending home group, please contact the Director of Children's Ministry or Chapel office for scholarship information.

Home groups may provide off-site babysitting arranged by the host, and families using the babysitting services will be asked to contribute to the cost. Off-site childcare is not arranged by PCC and therefore not subject to PCC's childcare policy.
