Church Life

The life of our church extends across North Carolina and beyond, seven days a week. From your local Connection Group down the road, to the overseas missions fields. Grove Ministries provide excellent opportunities to make new friends, grow in faith and serve.

Young Adults

“Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”

II Timothy 4:12

Young Adults (millennials -mid 20’s to 40) will find a welcoming place at Pleasant Grove Church. Today’s millennials are seeking a place to belong; a place to use their gifts and talents; a place where they can serve.

If these are what you seek, you have found your church home. PGC will help you understand how to be a man or woman of God who will be able to stand up against the many challenges you face. You will share in learning unadulterated Biblical truths from spiritual leaders who are authentic, transparent and truly concerned about you as a child of God.

If you are looking for other young adults to grow with and older adults to help you, PGC is for YOU!!!

Children's Ministry

Expressing the love of Jesus through fun, interactive and caring children's ministries that promote growth and well-being.

This cutting-edge ministry attracts young people and their families and encourages them to be faithful disciples, with a passion for meeting the needs of their community. PGC strives to prepare young people to be faithful disciples of Jesus Christ by influencing their spiritual and social development through worship services and empowerment programs.

Our Children and Youth Ministry exists to provide a framework for ministering to the spiritual, developmental, and social needs of the children and youth of PGC and of our community. This ministry encompasses the Nursery, GroveKids, and GroveTeens. We provide a Christian atmosphere to encourage sound Biblical teaching and spiritual development.

Nursery

Nursery

The Nursery ministry team serves infants and toddlers, from newborn to five years of age during morning Worship. We provide a safe, caring, loving, and learning environment for the children. Also, our dedicated volunteers focus on age-appropriate Biblical teaching.

GroveKids

GroveKids

A dynamic Biblical learning experience for children ages 6-8 and 9-12 during the 9:45 AM Worship Service on 2nd and 4th Sundays each month. Children participate in Bible lessons enhanced through crafts, games, and kinesthetic learning.

GroveTeens

GroveTeens

An exciting and engaging study of God’s Word during the 9:45 AM Worship Service on 2nd and 4th Sundays each month; this study is designed for teens ages 13 thru 17. Teens participate in hands-on activities and lively discussions about God’s plans for their lives.

The Evangelism Ministry strives to share the Word of God with all people through various means of communication. The Great Commission proclaims the gospel and salvation of Jesus Christ to all mankind. We want the lost to be found and those who are saved to be convicted and transformed to greater works.

Evangelism Ministry

Evangelism Ministry

Disciples of Jesus Christ are called to share His message of hope, love, and salvation; leading others to a life-transforming personal relationship with Him by the power of His Holy Spirit. Our Lord, Jesus Christ, calls us to share His promise of salvation to anyone who accepts him as their Lord and Savior.

The Evangelism Ministry works hand-in-hand with the Outreach Ministry to answer God’s call to reach and touch the lives of people, who may not know about the Love of God for them, and for the fact he has given his only begotten Son to save humanity from eternal damnation.

Worship Ministry

Worship Ministry

We are thankful God has revealed to us that worship is our priority. Therefore, we strive to serve God in excellence during every worship experience. The goal of the Worship Ministry is to edify the body of Christ. Our goal is to provide our parishioners and guests with a warm, inviting, and lively spirit-filled atmosphere. This goal begins at the door with the greeters, when the congregants and visitors arrive, and continues throughout the Service.

Our Worship Ministry provides several opportunities for all ages in our congregation to experience the presence and power of Almighty God! Each week we prayerfully prepare all elements of worship through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Authentic Worship is the response of grateful and humble people to the living God where submission, sacrificial service, praise, profession, testimony, and gratitude are freely expressed in innumerable ways. This is a much richer concept than mere corporate singing and praise once each week for 20 minutes; an event that could occur without any actual worship going on at all.

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds

Hebrews 10:24 (NIV)
Deacon Ministry

Deacon Ministry

The Deacon Ministry, under the leadership of the Pastor, supports the spiritual needs of the Church Body. In partnership with the Pastor, the deacons ensure the needs of the families of the church are met. Deacons at PGC are servants of the church and helpers to our pastor with the care of all disciples. This ministry is organized to model Christ, systematically care for all church families and individuals, and promote peace in all church ministries.

Deacons are the spiritual leaders in the life of our church. A deacon has a solid foundation in the Christian faith. This person will often give advice and comfort other people (see Hebrews 5:2-14). This is the work of a deacon as they minister to God’s people. The advice and comfort the deacon gives must be biblical, doctrinally, correct, and wise in practice.

4 Key Elements

Family

Family


Every disciple and every family has two (2) assigned deacons in the Deacon family Ministry Plan. The more effectively the plan works at Pleasant Grove Church, the closer our church will come to being a real “Family in Christ”. Our deacons stand available to give support in times of crisis—we can help you through the crisis by listening and giving support. Your deacons may be able to refer you to a community agency that can help.

We share encouragement and celebration with those who have experienced joyous times such as births, weddings, graduations, promotions, awards, and special accomplishments. We take the time to answer questions about your faith and our church. We encourage you to have fellowship with other disciples and families in the church. Deacons also help you find ways to serve in and through the church; deacons will watch for opportunities for you to use your God-given gift(s), talents, and skills.

Teachers

Teachers


Deacons serve as teachers during our new disciple’s orientation classes. Our new disciple sessions are focused on building relationships with all disciples. We want to make sure all disciples have a smooth transition as they begin to settle in at Pleasant Grove Church.

We start with an “Introduction Session”. Deacons then begin to share some basic truths. Our children and youth have separate age-appropriate New Disciple Sessions. Once all new disciples have completed these sessions, they will be scheduled for a pastoral meeting and then receive the Right Hand of Fellowship.

Prayer

Prayer


Deacons believe in the power of prayer; we pray for you and with you. Deacons will join with the Pastor and other deacons in praying for you and each member of your family. Deacons will also witness and pray with unsaved family members. One of our chief concerns is for every member in your family to know Jesus Christ as Savior.

Unity

Unity


Deacons help families move through challenges of life by strengthening their relationship with Jesus Christ. Deacons offer prayer, counsel, home, hospital, and extended care visitations, and gives attention to a person's distinct needs. In offering these kinds of support, we seek to demonstrate the love of Jesus in such a way that people in need come to love Him more and follow Him with a whole heart.

This team will also ensure that PGC is informed of community health fairs, activities, workshops, and symposia that can help disciples gain knowledge and become promoters of good health.

Kitchen

Nourishing others with physical food from our kitchen opens to us the opportunity to nourish them spiritually as well. This team will provide oversight and direction for the implementation of our participation as a sponsor in the Summer Food Program. They will ensure that all federal, state and local statues and guidelines are met as we operate a commercial kitchen.
