This week we will continue to explore the name Immanuel—“God with Us”—showing that God’s presence is experienced in moments of suffering, as seen in the story of Hagar and Ishmael. Through God’s questions, compassion, and provision for...

We don't have to wait for a Christmas miracle to experience the presence of God. Jesus, Immanuel is already here. He is present in the past, in this very moment, and in the years to come. Today we’ll look back at the ancient prophecy from Isaia...

This Sunday we're taking time to reflect on God's faithfulness through the generations of PFC. The service will include testimonies from the Wenger, Doering, and Elliott families as we wrap up our Building PFC series. We'll be encouraged and ch...

Today we’ll share some reflections, teaching, and inspiration around our current building expansion project and invite you to participate! Let’s make beautiful physical space for the unique calling and mission God has given to PFC.

In our current series, "Building PFC: Up, In, & Out", we’ve described the first step “out” as prayer and the second step “out” as service. The third step is evangelism - sharing the “good news.” What is the “good ...

The first step "out" is prayer. The second step is service. Jesus said in Matthew 20:28, "The Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve...and lay his life down as a ransom." In Philippians 2:7 Paul writes about Christ, "He made himself ...

This Sunday, we’re stepping “Out” as we move on to the next part of our series by learning to pray for our neighbors—not just the ones we like, but all of them (1 Timothy 2:1). Prayer is a powerful tool in loving our neighbors well. We...

This week, we are going to talk about a powerful truth that’s foundational to our identity as “A people following Christ IN”. We are called to be a temple. Not just any temple…the temple of the Living God.  And this is our call not only in...

🎶 “We are family. I got all my sisters with me. We are family. Get up, everybody, and sing!” Now that classic song is going to be stuck in your head for the rest of the day - you’re welcome! But have you ever stopped to think about wha...

Because of the surpassing grace of Jesus Christ, because He alone is worthy of all glory, because Christ is building His Church from every tribe, tongue, and nation on earth, and because He has torn down the wall of hostility between God and ma...

Knock, knock. Who’s there? Jesus … Okay, there’s no joke here but a way to get us thinking about this declaration that Jesus makes in John 10, “I am the door.” As we continue our series, we’ll be invited by Jesus to enter and abide wit...

Jesus is the irreducible, irreplaceable foundation on which we build our lives, our families, and our church. This Sunday were going to bypass the granite countertops, spacious living area, and instead follow the home inspector to the basement ...

As we launch our Fall sermon series "Building PFC: Up, In, & Out" we are starting with the metaphor of Christ as the chief cornerstone. If we're not building on him, we're building on sand. If Christ is not at the center, then we are worshi...

In Matthew 8 & 9, following the conclusion of the Sermon on the Mount, there are 11 accounts of miraculous healings. Matthew 8:16-17 says, "He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick, so that what was spoken through t...

Jesus wraps up his sermon with a simple and powerful parable. Those who hear the words of Jesus and obey them build their lives on a rock that cannot be shaken. Those who hear the words of Jesus and do not seek to walk them out, build their liv...

This sermon will explore salvation and the Kingdom. True faith is necessary and will always be transformative. Through faith, our lives will change and we will be known by God. 

How do we know if someone is the real deal or not? Jesus says, inspect their “fruit.” This Sunday, we’ll dive into what Jesus means with all this talk of fruit trees, figs, and false prophets. But be ready, because this is not just about ot...

This Sunday we welcome Pete Kontra who serves as the District Executive of the Atlantic Northeast District Church of the Brethren. www.ane-cob.org.

Let's unpack a life-transforming paradox in Jesus’ teaching (Matt. 7:13-14). Jesus says that the spacious life (life that is full of peace, satisfaction, joy and more) is found by actually squeezing through the narrow gate and following Jesus o...

Prayer is rooted in a relationship with a loving, generous Father… not a transaction with a distant force. Jesus invites us to ask, seek, and knock with trust, humility, and persistence, knowing that God gives not just what we want, bu...

To be the judge is to carry the weight of being right—and being just. The throne of authority is no casual seat; it demands power, wisdom, and responsibility, especially when decisions impact others. Yet how often do we climb into that seat our...

This Sunday at PFC, we’re grateful to have Bryan Hoke with us. Bryan serves with the Brethren in Christ and provides support for pastors and churches in this region. He’ll be sharing a message about the gift of rest and Jesus’ invitation to tru...

"Do not be anxious about your life." What a crazy thing for Jesus to say! How can I not be anxious about my life, my marriage, my kids, my job, my retirement, my car, my house...? For many people anxiety is an almost constant companion. What is...
