Ministries

Bus Ministry

For several years, our workers have been picking up children from nearby housing areas in order to give them the privilege of attending Sunday School and church services. Hundreds of hours have been invested in this ministry, and the dividends have been exciting!

Choir

Many of our church members use their musical abilities to honor the Lord every Sunday morning and evening. Their hard practice and faithful singing bless us week after week, as our hearts are prepared for the message.

Clean Up and Lawn Crews

These behind-the-scenes workers pay much more than lip service to the Lord, they work hard to keep our facilities clean and beautiful.

Children's Churches

Children need to hear the Bible taught on their level. Junior Church is geared toward children from 4 years old through 4th grade. Puppets, fun songs, missionary stories, games, and preaching are all part of this exciting ministry.

Discipleship Program

This ministry was started when we recognized a need in our churches for real discipleship as our Lord commanded. The program we use is called "Christian Mentoring from A to Z". This is a one-on-one mentoring process in which a trained worker (Discipler) will train his/her student (Timothy). This program is a commitment between two people to meet for 28 weeks in study. There has been much excitement in this program. We have seen souls saved and greater understanding and hunger for God's word. Our teens participate in a similar program, "Mentoring Teens from A to Z". The first person saved was a teen that we told about the program. Information about this program can be found on the Valley Forge Baptist Temple website.

Greeters

Every time we arrive at PBT for a church service, we are met by the cheerful welcome of our greeters. Their friendliness is an encouragement even before the service begins!

Keen-Agers

This ministry here at PBT is for our Senior Saints (and guests). We call them Keen-Agers because they know how to have a good time. From luncheons to Christmas light shows, special speakers, and tours to exhibits at museums. They enjoy a great time of fellowship together.

Kids4truth Club

This club's goal is to disciple our primary age children (ages 3 -11) in their scripture memorization and daily devotions, and to practice obedience. The Kids4truth Club meets every Wednesday. Club members enjoy fun Bible lessons with DVD stories to reinforce the lesson, singing, scripture memorization, and games. The children are given awards as they finish each of their projects. The Kids4truth Club also gives the children much needed discipleship, and many service opportunities through speaking and singing performances and through other activities.

Ladies' Outreach

The ladies here at PBT know how to have a good time. From luncheons to Christmas House tours, the ladies fellowships are always a blessing to those who come.

Military Outreach

This ministry's desire is to serve the families of those who serve our country by praying for them, encouraging them and providing resources for them.

Nursery

Imagine trying to concentrate on the worship service over the crying of babies all over the auditorium! To avoid this difficulty, caring members volunteer their time to serve in the nursery. They are a blessing to all of us!

Secret Pals

Any lady who loves to encourage another lady anonymously with prayers, gifts, and encouraging notes can be a part of this ministry! Secret Pals are revealed at the end of each year, and new pals are then drawn from the hat for the new year.

Sunday School

Can't get enough of the Word of God? If so, our Sunday School ministry is for you! Our classes include 2-3 year olds, 4-5 year olds, 1st - 3rd grades, 4th-6th grades, Teenagers, College & Career, Single Adults, and Married Adults.

Teen Ministry

In addition to relevant Bible studies each Sunday and Wednesday (Proteen's program), the group enjoys monthly activities such as Big Ball games, Scavenger Hunts, Bowling, Mini Golf, Go-carting, and more. We also offer the discipleship program to our teens called, "Mentoring Teens from A to Z". (see discipleship) The highlight of the teenagers' year is to attend Camp at the Wilds each summer!

Ushers Ministry

These men are a great assistance in keeping us organized! They help by directing guests to the proper locations, passing out guest packets and collecting the offerings.

Vacation Bible School

This annual ministry each summer for many children, Vacation Bible School is a highlight, as they enjoy a whole week of Bible teaching, crafts, puppet shows, the VBS store, singing, and Bible stories!

Visitation Ministry

This ministry is the means through which our church reaches out into our community. This ministry includes church flyer distribution, hospital and shut-in visitation and visiting guests who have attended our services. With many housing areas in our area popping up, this is a much needed ministry of our church.
