For those who are new

 

We may be just the place you’ve been looking for.  At PBC we accept people where they are and help them be what God wants them to be.  We believe most people are looking for two things in a church:

 

1) Acceptance

2) Answers

 

Acceptance is important to everyone. 

 

At Ponderosa we welcome you just as you are -- no matter how you are dressed or where you have been in life.  Look around you.  We come from a great many backgrounds, and we have faced the same struggles of life all people have.  But we have found acceptance and love in God’s family, and we want to pass on that love and acceptance to you.  We provide a place to meet and develop new friendships, a place where you can feel at home.  And you can leave your wallet at home without feeling guilty.  At Ponderosa, giving is for our regular attendees and members who have come to consider us their church home.  As you visit, if we are not the right church for you, then you won’t feel you have wasted a cent.

 

As our church family gets older, we especially realize the need to reach out to younger families.  If that is you, please let us know how we can best meet your needs and those of your family.  But no matter what your age may be, we welcome you and want you to feel at home here.

               

Answers are found in God’s Word for every issue of life. 

 

We firmly believe that.  Our goal each week is to give you a Sunday experience that is uplifting and worth your time.  We think going to church should be an event that adults, students and children look forward to.  We want to share positive biblical teaching that will give you direction and help you experience life to the fullest.  We know we are far from perfect, but we are committed to making a difference in people’s lives, finding solutions and answers from God’s perspective.

 

The messages are directly from the Word of God, not just motivational talks on philosophy or politics.  It is important to know exactly what God’s Word means so that we can apply it correctly to life.  Each message is from the Bible verse by verse and book by book so we understand God’s plan for us.  I hope a little creativity and sense of humor will help you understand the Bible more clearly than ever before.  In addition, the application of the Word of God each week will help you live your life as God intended.
