The Family Ministry at PVN is the shared service of all Christians at PVN to strengthen families and equip them to make the disciples of Jesus Christ in the home and throughout the world! We consider everyone at PVN to be a part of the family of God. There are 6 programs in the Family Ministry that focus on reaching singles, couples with no children as well as those with kids, empty nesters, and seniors. Come be a part of our PVN Family!
PVN FAMILY MINISTRY
Through Sunday School, weekly small groups, and discipleship groups, the Family Ministry oversees the personal discipleship of all ages from children through senior citizens. The goal of personal discipleship is to allow each person at PVN to become a more mature believer in order to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others.
PERSONAL DISCIPLESHIP
This program is intended to equip parents and married couples to extend personal discipleship at home. Whether you are an empty nester, a married couple with or without children, a single, or a divorcee, the goal of this program is to build upon what is taught at PVN through weekly, accountable study.
AT-HOME DISCIPLESHIP
Marriage enrichment is vital to the life of husbands and wives! Instead of just focusing on periodic marriage events, the Family Ministry is committed to offering weekly Sunday School classes for married couples based on stages of life.
PROMOTING HEALTHY MARRIAGES
Since Family Ministry is over the umbrella of children, youth, and adult discipleship, the Pastor of Family Ministries works to place visitors and members in classes, small groups, and volunteer positions that meet the needs of each person. The PVN info desk in the Sanctuary Foyer is the first stop to ask questions and learn more about PVN and meet the Family Ministry team.
INTEGRATION OF THE FAMILY INTO PVN
This is a new program at PVN where the Family Ministry seeks to bridge the gap between the oldest and youngest members of the church! Statistics prove that churches that focus on mentorship of older persons with younger ones can more successfully keep youth and young adults than those that don’t prioritize this program. This occurs at PVN through periodic small groups that invite all ages to attend, mentorship programs for families and individuals, and connecting families together to celebrate milestone moments!
INTERGENERATIONAL DISCIPLESHIP
While discipleship is a major focus of the Family Ministry, providing fellowships for families is just as vital! Through Family Fun Nights in the summer, periodically through the school year, and individual events like the Fall Festival in October and Easter Egg Hunt in the spring, PVN offers many opportunities for families to connect and enjoy time together. It’s never too late to hang with our PVN family!
