Our Ministries

Children

We believe it is important for children to have some participation in the service, and to spend time worshipping together with their families. Children begin the morning in the worship service, and then are invited to join their classes, located in the basement, mid-way through the service.

As part of our Plan to Protect® program, parents of children up to Grade 4 are required to sign their children in and out of Sunday School.

We currently use the HeartShaper® curriculum from Standard Publishing for all our Sunday School classes. For more information on the curriculum, visit heartshaper.com

  • Nursery facilities are available for the duration of the service for babies and toddlers ages 0-30 months. In the nursery, caring volunteers are waiting to show your little one the love of Jesus by spending time with them while the rest of the family attends the worship service and programs.

  • This program is designed for preschool age children (2.5-4). Children will receive age appropriate Bible learning and will connect their learning to real life situations through games, crafts, play and other activities.

  • This program accommodates children in JK-SK, offering a continuation of HeartShaper 1, and using hands-on learning to teach kids biblical stories and values. Kids will experience drama, crafts, and other interactive activities as they learn how biblical principles apply to their lives.

  • These are a further continuation of the earlier HeartShaper programs, designed for children in Grades 1-6. Children will receive age appropriate Bible teaching that allows them to explore and apply their faith in many different ways.

  • For grades 7 and 8, this class offers an opportunity for pre-teens to build on the foundation they have established in the earlier HeartShaper classes. The curriculum used in this class in Encounter, also from Standard Publishing, and a continuation of HeartShaper for older students. Students will discuss relevant faith issues and apply them to their own lives through a variety of activities and challenges.

Youth

The teenage years are a time of growth and discovery. At PEMC, we provide a safe fun environment for teens to ask questions and discover more about themselves and faith. A learning group for junior high youth takes place during the morning service (during a normal year). Our high school youth meet every Tuesday night from 7:00-8:30pm for fun and learning.

Women

Our “Women of Worth” co-ordinate fellowship, Bible studies, and service opportunities for women of all ages.

Men

The “Men’s Fellowship” plan growth and service opportunities for men of all ages.

Small Groups

We believe that participating in a small group is essential to nurturing relationships among the family of believers and for growing in our faith.  At a small group everyone can find a warm welcome, stimulating studies and an atmosphere of care and support.

Evening Prayer

Join us Tuesdays from 7:00-7:45pm for a time of praying together as a group for our church and our community.
