Children's Ministry

We want the children at PHBC to have a deeply rooted confidence in the character of God so they can passionately follow him through good times and bad times. Our hope is to partner with parents in the discipleship of their children by providing environments, curriculum, and resources that center on the gospel and teach the nature and character of God. We have a variety of ministries for our children based on their age.

Our children's ministry is broken down into two larger age groups.

Sonrise Kids

Sonrise Kids is our children's ministry for children from birth through kindergarten.

Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible School (VBS) is the highlight of the year for our children and for our adult and youth workers. VBS is for children who are at least four-years-old through those who have just completed the 5th grade. If you're looking to make summer plans, our VBS always takes place during the last full week of July. We typically allow families to register their children for VBS beginning in late spring.

Baptism

We treat the baptism of children with special care and want to help parents walk through the process with their children. If your child expresses interest in baptism, please set up an interview with our elders so we can help you determine next steps.

At the center of the church gathered is one absolutely necessary element: the word of God laid open in the midst of God’s people. The church may do many things when gathered together, but one thing is of the utmost importance: the faithful, expositional proclamation of the Word of God. Without gospel-centered biblical exposition there is no gospel-centered worship. We must allow God’s Word to point us to the cross of Christ.

The focal point of every worship service is the proclamation of the Word of God. The Word of God brings life to God’s people (Ezekiel 37; Psalm 119:25; John 6:68). The Word of God points people to Jesus Christ, who is the living Word of God.

As a church we want to be intentional about gospel-centered worship. Gospel-centered worship should be characterized by an awareness of the centrality of the gospel. When we properly understand the gospel, we will view it as our primary motivation for praising God.
