Serving Our Community and World
Time is our most valuable gift.
As we read the Gospels, we see Jesus constantly giving of himself and his time out of love and compassion. This past year, it’s been so encouraging to watch our church family follow his leading by giving of their time on short-term mission trips, serving in our community, and providing humanitarian aid to the nations that are in our backyard as well as on the other side of the world.
How might you consider dedicating your time to serve with us in the coming year? Time spent with family and friends, whether meeting needs and building relationships here at home or across the globe, will strengthen your faith and renew your spirit.

LOCAL MISSION PARTNERS
Across Dallas, PCBC partners with 12 local ministries whose common goal is to build relationships and invest in lives in practical ways. PCBC members serve regularly with each of our local ministry partners, and we support them through our offerings. Our prayer is that the love of Jesus shines forth in every conversation, relationship, and helping hand offered. Learn more below about how your generosity fuels ministries across Dallas!
GLOBAL MISSIONS
Our global mission partners extend the ministry of PCBC “to the ends of the earth.” We support ministries across the world who plant churches, meet medical needs, mentor and train pastors, host camps for kids, and supply food and humanitarian supplies to those in need – all centered on our mission to lead all generations to love Jesus.

For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
