When you first enter the PCC Campus, our goal is to
make you feel welcomed. From the parking lot through the front door,
we have people working to help you find your way into our worship
service. From our parking attendants to our greeters to our coffee servers,
our volunteers are here to help.
Entering the Building
When you enter our building, a Front-Door Greeter
will be there to welcome you and answer any questions you may have. He or
she may direct you to Guest Services to receive information about our church
and various ministries. If you have children, the greeter can direct you
to KidCity Guest Services where you may register your child and be directed to
the classrooms. Coffee is available at the Coffee Bar. Feel free to
have a cup and speak with others who will be standing around. Our Atrium
Greeters try to find people who may be new to our church and make them feel
welcome. But we are human and sometimes we may miss you. Please
introduce yourself to someone and tell them you are "new." We
guarantee you will be welcomed!
Worshipping at PCC
Saturday evenings are something new at
Pathway! On September 20, 2008, we began offering a
worship service at 5:30pm. We hope that this
casual, come-as-you-are service will appeal to all generations. We will
be offering programming for children from birth through 5th grade.
On Sundays, we offer services at 9:00am and 11:00am. We offer full
programming during both services for children birth through 4th
grade. Classes for 5th graders and middle school students are
offered during the first service and for the high school during the second
service.
All three of our services are the same, and offer
a contemporary form of Worship. We know that people are busy and hope
that everyone will be able to find a service time that works for them.
Communion at PCC
We serve Communion on the first weekend of every
month. Pathway practices open Communion. If you are a follower of
Jesus Christ, and feel comfortable in doing so, we invite you to
participate. If you do not wish to participate in Communion, simply pass
the plate to the person next to you. Do not feel uncomfortable if you
don't wish to take Communion.
The People
Our congregation includes people from different
generations and stages of life. Some are married, widowed, divorced, and
never married. Some have children, grandchildren, and
great-grandchildren. Some have none. We have those who dress up on
Sunday and others who wear jeans. We enjoy the variety of
our congregation and hope you will as well.
If you had to describe Pathway in one word, it
would be “normal”. We are normal people with normal issues but we believe that
Jesus is the answer to getting through the issues of life. We have a passion to
help people discover who Jesus really is and then together become just like
Him….and we believe in doing that in God’s timing. We try to make Pathway a
safe place to check out spiritual matters. At our weekend services we try to
create an atmosphere where you can investigate who Jesus is and God’s plan for
your life. If you are already a believer, we want you to be challenged in your
own daily walk with God but also feel comfortable inviting a lost person to the
service. We use great music, culturally relevant messages, friendly people and
a creative atmosphere to accomplish that purpose.
But, you see, we were not brought together by any
illusion of our perfection or righteousness. We were brought together by
our recognition that we are sinners in need of the cleansing blood of
Jesus. That’s the reason we can worship together, stick together, and,
with God’s help, accomplish some things that make a difference. You won’t
have to look very far to find our failures. But, bottom line, you will
find people who love Jesus and love the Bible and try to serve God’s people
together.
