In Loving Memory

In Loving Memory

Maureen Nystrom, a beloved member of our church family, has been battling cancer for some time. Initially, she requested that her situation be kept private. As the complications from this terrible disease affected her body, she recently gave us permission to share her health challenges with our congregation.

Maureen was receiving care at Mission Hospice, and Pastor Prince, along with other church leaders, visited her during this time and she expressed her desire to be with Jesus soon. Maureen passed away peacefully on Friday, June 20, 2025, surrounded by her close loved ones. We thank you for covering Maureen in prayer and we ask you to continue to pray for her loved ones as we mourn Maureen's loss.

We will update you with information about the Celebration of Life as it comes available.

Exciting Staffing Update!

Exciting Staffing Update!

Associate Pastor of Engagement and Outreach

Hello Everyone! I hope your Summer has gotten off to a wonderful start. 

I want to share a positive staffing update with you. After prayerfully and intentionally discerning with our church's elders, including myself, I am thrilled to share that Pastor Diane, who has faithfully served as our Youth Pastor, will be stepping into a new role as Associate Pastor of Engagement and Outreach here at Pacific Community Church.

Over the last few years, Diane has poured energy, passion, and time into disciplining our youth and helping them grow in faith and community. Her leadership has shaped our young people and enriched our entire church family through her preaching.

In this new role, Diane will focus on helping us build deeper connections within our congregation and extend our reach into the community. She will give leadership to initiatives that:

  • Strengthen hospitality and newcomer engagement.
  • Cultivate small groups and spiritual formation opportunities.
  • Coordinate outreach and local missions efforts.
  • Equip our church to embody the Gospel in everyday life.
  • Expand our reach on social media platforms.
  • Amongst other tasks.

This transition reflects Pastor Diane’s growing gifts and our church's evolving needs. Please join us in praying for her as she begins this next chapter and in celebrating the good work God continues to do through her ministry.

We are grateful for Diane’s heart for God and passion for helping others find their place in God’s story. This is an exciting step for her and all of us at PCC. She will start serving in this role in July.

We will also begin an intentional process of identifying the next person God is calling to serve as our Youth Pastor immediately. Our plans for our youth during the summer months will continue as Diane will work closely with our interns.  Please keep our young people and the person God calls to pastor them in your prayers.

In Christ,
Pastor Prince

Spring/Summer Sermon Series

Spring/Summer Sermon Series

The Paraclete: Come, Holy Spirit, Come!

Key Verse: "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you." - John 14:16 (NLT)
 
There is a powerful presence that sometimes goes unnoticed in many Christian lives - the One Jesus promised would be our constant companion, guide and comforter.  He called Him the Paraclete - a Greek word meaning Helper, Advocate, Comforter, or Counselor.  This series will take us deep into the heart of that promise.

Communion Change

Communion Change

We have changed slightly how we receive the Lord’s Supper. Instead of coming forward to take the elements and returning to our seats to partake of the bread and drink from the cup after everyone has been served, we will pause to partake of the elements at the station where we receive them. There will be a basket on the aisle seat for your empty communion cup. If you prefer to continue taking it back to your seat feel free to do so. 

The primary reason for this is to create more intentional space within our worship experience for responsive prayer to what God may minister to us in our hearts as we listen to His preached word, worship Him through singing songs, listen to scriptures, and pray together, among other expressions.  Read more below for details!
