CHURCH OFFICERS & KEY TEAMS
Dear PV Family,
As a church, we exist to unleash the transforming influence of Jesus in PV, the Northland, and beyond. In order to do that well, we need strong leadership. So every year PV members have the opportunity to guide our church towards the future by nominating leaders to represent each of us as we seek to fulfill our mission and our values as a church.
As a church we:
- unashamedly saturate everything with the Gospel.
- consistently challenge people to take their “next step.”
- purposefully build biblical community for life transformation.
- boldly live with open hands and open hearts (generosity).
- unapologetically invest in strengthening the family.
- strive to make disciples
We are looking for people who have a heart for Jesus, embody the values of PV and love to serve. Maybe that is you, and God is moving you to step up into leadership. Maybe you have the perfect person in mind and would like to nominate him or her to serve. Either way, I encourage you to think through our values, follow the nomination process below and use your voice to help us lead PV into the future.
I’m excited for what God is doing in us and through us, and I invite you to take your next step in our journey as a church family.
You are champions,
Merle Mees | Lead Pastor
