The Pastoral staff and Elder leadership encourage those who attend Peaceful Valley Church to also become involved in Life Groups. Life groups are smaller gatherings of people in our community which regularly meet either at church or in members homes. We believe that it is important to the spiritual health and growth at PVC that we get together outside of the formal worship setting to focus attention in five general areas: Fellowship, Discipleship Training, Ministry, Evangelism and Prayer.
Small Groups provide an opportunity to experience deep and lasting relationships with other members of the church in a smaller setting and offer the type of “in-depth” bible study and teaching traditionally reserved for “Sunday School” classes. Below is a listing of the current Small Group Fellowships and their area of study. Check back often to this site, as other groups are forming, and topics change frequently.
If you are interested in hosting or facilitating a Life Group or have any questions concerning this program, please contact Steve Kettel, our Elder in charge of this ministry. He can be reached at 953-6172 or you can email him at westglove00@gmail.com.
