OUTREACH & MISSIONS

Missions Team

​

The Missions Team focuses on evangelism and community outreach outside of our home areas, both nationally & internationally. This group has been active since 1906. Since then, there have been many effective and life-changing missions sponsored in many cities and states here in the United States and in numerous countries around the world because of their efforts.

​

The group is currently comprised of people who believe in supporting local and foreign missions including, but not limited to, giving financial aid to certain missionaries and those who organize, plan, and coordinate local and foreign mission trips. We are always looking for where the Lord will use us next!

The Backpack Ministry

The Backpack Ministry operates during the school year. Once a week they meet to shop and pack food for elementary school children who are on the free lunch program but are going home for the weekend and holidays with very little available food. On Friday the food packs are delivered to the school(s) that distribute to those children in need.

Below is an example of the items needed and included in each child’s bag. Right now each “weekend” bag is being distributed weekly to 31 children at Indian Trail Elementary School.

All monetary and food donations are greatly appreciated. Monetary donations can be made through the PPBC Giving website page. Food donations can be left in the labeled totes in both The Welcome Center and The Reach lobby.
