VBS - Vacation Bible School
Preschoolers-Elementary students are invited to join us for the exciting and faith-filled adventure of True North VBS! This fun week will include Bible teachings, crafts, games, worship, snacks, science experiments, and more! We will begin each morning all together in the sanctuary and then split off into age-appropriate VBS experiences.
We have Jesus – our true north! Give kids a rock-solid foundation and point them to Jesus, their unmovable, unshakeable friend forever!
Kids will experience the ultimate Alaskan adventure where northern lights glow over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and glistening glaciers. As kids trek the tundra, they’ll explore how easy it is to lose sight of what’s true in our wild world today. Pointing them toward Jesus, True North VBS will show them that God is a faithful friend we can always trust. Jesus is our True North!

Lake Baptisms
This baptism service will take place at Baker Park Reserve, and will be followed by a potluck picnic!
This will replace the "regular Saturday service" at PCC this evening.
We will be offering baptisms for those who have professed their faith in Jesus Christ and want to declare it publicly. Perhaps you've just begun a relationship with Jesus and are wondering what a next step is. Maybe you've been walking with Jesus for a long time and have not been baptized but realize now is the time.
If you are ready to be baptized, please fill out this form! A PCC Pastor will also want to meet with you to talk before you are baptized.
Child Dedication
This registration is now closed, keep an eye out for future dates!
Families choosing Infant Baptism, please use this registration.
Learn more about baptism & dedication at PCC >>>
PLEASE NOTE: On June 8th at 11am, there will be a parent class on Child Dedication. Parent participation in this class is REQUIRED in order to participate in the ceremony.
Child Dedication is a service for parents who want the blessing of God on their child, but believe baptism is reserved for those who make the choice to be baptized by immersion later in life. In choosing to dedicate their child to Christ, parents are committing and declaring their desire to dedicate their child to the Lord. Their commitment is to raise their child in the love of Christ. They, with God’s help and the help of the Church community, desire to be examples of God’s grace and love. They are anticipating the day when their child will make a personal commitment to love, follow, and serve Jesus.
Mountain Biking
Do you love the thrill of the trail, good laughs, and meaningful conversations with other guys? Then it’s time to gear up, hit the dirt, and ride with purpose.
Join us for mountain biking adventures that go beyond the ride—where friendships are built, faith gets real, and fun is always part of the journey.
Grandparenting
Would you like to be equipped as a Grandparent?
Come and enjoy some interactive discussion on grandparenting facilitated by Pastor Tom & Elaine Perks. Learn how to more effectively share our lives and faith with our grandchildren and perhaps even with our children.

Learn more about baptism & dedication at PCC >>>
Infant Baptism is a service for parents who desire for their infant to be baptized. When an infant is baptized we trust the mystery of God’s grace working through the family of God until this child chooses to proclaim that faith as their own. We ask that parents who are choosing Infant Baptism also commit to raising their child in the love of Christ. They, with God’s help and the help of the Church community, desire to be examples of God’s grace and love. They are anticipating the day when their child will make a personal commitment to love, follow, and serve Jesus.
