Pleasant Grove Ministries
Deacon Ministry
More Information
Deacon Ministry
Under the leadership of the Pastor the ministry 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.
Key Focus Areas
Family
Every disciple and every family has two 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 gifts, talents, and skills.
Teacher
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
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
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.
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.

Evangelism Ministry
More Information
Evangelism Ministry
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.
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.
We are committed to equip and to empower our disciples by the Holy Spirit as we labor together to carry out the Vision and Mission that the Lord has given to us.
As believers in Jesus Christ, we are to evangelize the lost, share the love of Christ, and use our spiritual gifts to further expand the kingdom. Get connected at the Grove and join us as we recognize and celebrate “Favor From Our Faithful God”.

Health & Wellness Ministry
More Information
Health & Wellness Ministry
Serves as a vital aspect of fostering a healthy and thriving church community. This ministry plays a significant role in promoting the overall well-being of the congregation and linking faith with practical aspects of life. Let's explore the importance of this ministry and the connection to the church and community.
Key Focus Areas
Holistic Approach to Ministry
The Health & Wellness Ministry embodies the idea of a holistic approach to ministry. They recognize that the well-being of individuals encompasses not only their spiritual life but also their physical, mental, and emotional health. By addressing these different facets of life, churches can better support their members in their journey of faith.
Caring for the Whole Person
Churches with a ministry dedicated to health and wellness demonstrate a genuine concern for the well-being of their members beyond just spiritual matters. This level of care fosters a sense of community and encourages individuals to feel supported in all aspects of their lives.
Promoting Good Stewardship
Encouraging healthy living aligns with the principle of good stewardship. Taking care of one's body and health is viewed as responsible stewardship of the resources that have been given to each individual. It reflects a sense of gratitude and respect for the gift of life.
Outreach and Community Engagement
The Health & Wellness Ministry not only focuses on the health of church members but also seeks to connect with the broader community through health fairs, workshops, and other activities. This outreach provides an opportunity to show care and compassion to the community while also promoting the church's values.
Educational Platform
Most ministries often serve as educational platforms within the church. By publishing materials like "To Your Better Health," they disseminate valuable information, empowering church members to make informed decisions about their health and lifestyle choices.
Empowering Disciples
By encouraging and inspiring church members to prioritize healthy living, the Health & Wellness Ministry empowers disciples to take charge of their well-being. In doing so, they equip individuals to live healthier lives and be better equipped to fulfill their roles within the church and the community.
Preventative Care and Well-Being

Kitchen & Hospitality Ministry
More Information
Kitchen & Hospitality Ministry
This ministry can be linked to the idea of nourishing both the body and the spirit of the congregation and the community they serve. By having a commercial kitchen with a dedicated hospitality component, churches can extend their outreach and impact in various ways.
Key Focus Areas
Physical Nourishment
The presence of a commercial kitchen allows churches to prepare and serve food for various events and gatherings within the congregation. Whether it's a weekly fellowship meal, special events, or community outreach programs, providing physical nourishment fosters a sense of togetherness and care within the church community. Sharing meals can strengthen relationships and create a welcoming atmosphere for both regular attendees and newcomers.
Community Outreach
Beyond serving the congregation, churches with commercial kitchens can extend their hospitality to the broader community. By hosting events and meals for those in need, such as the homeless, underprivileged, or elderly, the church demonstrates its commitment to service and compassion. This kind of outreach can be an effective way to share love and kindness with those who may be struggling, and it opens doors for meaningful connections and potential spiritual discussions.
Spiritual Nourishment
The connection between physical and spiritual nourishment is significant. When people are provided with a warm meal and a welcoming environment, they are more open to receiving spiritual guidance and teachings. The hospitality ministry team can engage in meaningful conversations, provide support, and create an environment where individuals feel comfortable discussing their spiritual needs and seeking guidance.
Meeting Regulatory Standards
The presence of a hospitality ministry is essential in ensuring that the church's commercial kitchen adheres to all necessary regulations and guidelines. Compliance with federal, state, and local statutes demonstrates the church's commitment to safety, hygiene, and responsible food handling. This, in turn, enhances the church's reputation within the community and fosters trust in the services they provide.
Strengthening Church Identity
A well-organized hospitality ministry can become a central pillar of the church's identity. It showcases the church's commitment to care, community, and outreach. As a result, the congregation can take pride in being part of a community that not only focuses on spiritual growth but also actively engages in the well-being of its members and neighbors.
In summary, this church ministry serves a dual purpose. On one hand, it meets the practical needs of the congregation by providing physical nourishment and creating a sense of community. On the other hand, it offers a gateway for spiritual nourishment, allowing the church to minister to the hearts and souls of those they serve. Additionally, by adhering to commercial kitchen regulations, the church demonstrates responsible stewardship and a commitment to excellence in its service.

Technology Ministry
More Information
Technology Ministry
At Pleasant Grove, we are dedicated to our mission of loving the Lord, serving God, and spreading His word. In today's digital age, technology has become an essential tool for fulfilling this mission by allowing us to connect with our community and reach beyond the church walls. Our unwavering commitment is to build God's church here on earth by fostering a strong, loving community and sharing the message of faith. As we connect with people on social media, sermon podcasts, and our Sunday Live Stream, we must keep an eye on how we can lead people to connect with the church in person and how the church can physically reach out to people in our community. We believe by embracing technology, we are not only adapting to the modern world but also fulfilling our divine mission to connect, serve, and spread the love of God.
In recent years, technology has revolutionized the way churches and ministries connect with their congregations and spread the message of faith.
Technology is not just a tool it is a catalyst for community building; it's a means to fulfill our mission more effectively and has a ubiquitous role in the presence of our church.
Technology, when harnessed for the higher purpose of building God's church on earth, becomes a powerful force for good. It enhances communication, deepens spiritual connections, and allows us to adapt and spread the gospel more effectively.
A Paradigm Shift
Online Streaming
Through high-quality live streaming services, we can reach congregants who are unable to attend services physically. This ensures that no one is left behind in their spiritual journey.
Social Media Presence
The church maintains an active presence on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. These platforms provide a space for our community to engage, share their experiences, and connect with fellow believers.
Zoom Conferencing
We use Zoom to conduct virtual church meetings, Bible studies, and prayer groups. This allows us to maintain a sense of togetherness even when physical gatherings are challenging.
Payment Platforms
The church employs secure and convenient payment platforms like PayPal, CashApp and Tithe.ly, enabling our congregation to make offerings and tithes online, supporting the ministry's financial needs.
Why It Matters
Accessibility
Technology breaks down geographical barriers, making the message of God accessible to anyone with an internet connection.
Community Building
Social media and online platforms help us foster a sense of community among our members, enabling them to support and pray for each other.
Flexibility
In challenging times, like the COVID-19 pandemic, technology ensures that ministry can continue without interruption.
Wider Reach
Through online streaming and social media, we can reach individuals who may never have stepped into our physical church.
A Catalyst for Spiritual Growth
Enhanced Communication
In the digital age, communication is key to building and strengthening our church community. Technology allows us to communicate instantaneously, bridging the physical distances that might separate us.
Interactive Worship Experiences
Through online streaming, our worship services become interactive experiences. Congregants can engage in real-time discussions, prayer requests, and share their thoughts and insights.
Global Reach
The reach of technology extends far beyond our local congregation. We can connect with individuals from different cultures and backgrounds, forging a diverse and inclusive global church.
Pleasant Grove recognizes technology is a powerful tool for advancing our mission of spreading God's word. By embracing online streaming, social media, video conferencing, and convenient payment platforms, we are building a strong online community that transcends physical boundaries. Together, with the help of technology, we can share the love of the Lord and serve God more effectively than ever before.

Arts & Drama Ministry
More Information
Arts & Drama Ministry
Pleasant Grove, like many other churches, recognizes the importance of reclaiming the arts. The primary purpose of the Arts & Drama Ministry is to nurture and utilize the gifts God has given individual members of the PGC community.

- Creating performance pieces for services (e.g., drama, dance, spoken word).
- Incorporating live visual art during worship.
- Using art behind the altar or around the sanctuary.

The Arts and Drama Ministry is a powerful way to engage people, express faith, and impact lives within the PGC community and beyond!
