Missions
Uniting…Finding…Restoring
These three words define PNC’s mission. We are called to unite with Jesus in his mission of finding and restoring people into a whole and joyous relationship with God. Our scope is not only the people that are nearest us, but also people who inhabit the nations. For this reason PNC’s mission is not only local, but global. (See Luke 19.10 and Matthew 28.18-20.)
