This Friday, September 30th, is the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. This is a very important day for the church to come alongside the Indigenous Community to show support for truth and for reconciliation.

Recognizing the importance of church leaders growing in their understanding of Indigenous and Christian relations, our staff has gone through training on “The Seven Commitments for Conversation and Action” among evangelical fellowship churches (EFC) affiliates.

We will make every effort to prioritise our commitment to embodying Jesus to everyone by intentionally pursuing more opportunities to educate ourselves on the appropriate ways God is calling us to represent Him to Indigenous peoples.

Please know that PCC will be closed on Friday as we stand in solidarity with our First Nations Communities. 

This is the last week to submit your application for The Brandon Wallace Memorial Bursary! This is a $1000 cash award to be given to a student intending or who is already enrolled in post-secondary education at a University, College, Bible College, Seminary or Vocational School. The bursary amount has been increased to reflect the rising cost of education and the expenses associated with it. For more information, click on the Read More button below.

 Thank you to everyone who prayed for us while we were at camp! God certainly met with us, He moved powerfully, and His presence was felt throughout our sessions. Many students testified that God spoke to them personally and their faith was strengthened and deepened. Of course, we had lots of fun as well and friends became like family. Praise the Lord!

MPower is a one day comprehensive training that will give you practical insights and action steps to care for individuals struggling with mental health and their associated life-controlling issues —while safe guarding yourself and staying healthy in the process. 

Mercy Ministries is offering this free training to volunteer leaders, small group leaders, or anyone in the congregation who wants to be better equipped to help others.

September 28th | Jon ImBeau | "Tell Them, I Am Sent You."
(7PM - 9PM at Pacific Community Church)

How the Israelites learned who Yahweh is within the context of A.N.E. religions.
In Exodus 3:14, the Hebrews learn that the God of their ancestors is named Yahweh. They have already learned about God, even before this ‘burning bush moment’, and they learn much more in the centuries following. At this time Israel’s journey with Yahweh has been within a context of very well-established and influential Ancient Near Eastern religions. At times, the followers of these faiths ruled over the Israelites and their religious culture influenced them greatly. Often the Israelites adopted or syncretized with these other religions, but the scriptures show us how Yahweh stands separate and above. In this seminar, we will look at the various religions of the A.N.E. and see how Yahweh showed his people that he is not like the gods of the world. He is who He is. He is Yahweh!

October | Mike Richardson | Crafting A Culture of Worship within the Context of Family
(Date & Time TBD)

Recognizing that biblical worship is a lifestyle rather than an event, this PCCU course is a workshop that involves 3 sessions over the next 9 months.

Dr. Mike Richardson and his wife, Kathy, will be the learning facilitators and Mike’s dissertation ,“Training Christian Parents as Family Worship Leaders,” will provide the foundation for this collaborative learning experience. The intent of this opportunity is to empower parents as they lead their children/grandchildren in experiencing worship as the fundamental reality of doing life together as a family of Christ-followers. Couples are required to both participate and single parents are also welcome. Attendance will be limited.

We hope you will join us for our annual HARVEST FESTIVAL!
Head on out to The Commons area immediately following the service on October 30th and join us for some fun free activities! We will be pumpkin carving and there will be a mini petting zoo! Can't have a Harvest Festival without the hot dogs as well as pumpkin and apple pie!!  

Stay tuned for more info and activities we will be planning. 

 This fall we have started a new preaching series for our Sunday morning worship services called Gospel = Life. We believe that simple phrase reflects our third value, embodying the gospel, and reminds us each week to live out the good news, to be a living embodiment, a visible sign of the anointed one.  

Our teaching will focus on the book of Galatians as we look to the scriptures for teaching about what it means to be the church. The message of Galatians is an exhortation to be that new life in Christ, no matter what may come, and so I believe it is the perfect scripture for us to open our hearts to for such a time as this. These are such turbulent times now and it is in times like this that the truth of the gospel rings out so pure, that Jesus brought new life by believing in him. 

If you are new to Pacific, we would love to officially welcome you with a Newcomer's Lunch!  If you would like to join us on Sunday, November 20th after the service, please RSVP here! 

Pacific is blessed to currently have Children's and Student Ministry classes, programs and events for 3 years to Grade 12!  (We are hopeful to be able to open a staffed Nursery as well in the near future). SELECT HERE now to register your family

We were never meant to be alone on this Journey called Life.  Our prayer team was put together for this very purpose - to be here for you - through the ups and downs of life.  If you need prayer support, please reach out to us!
