God made us for relationships. As human beings created in the image of God, we operate best when we connect with others in community. Experiencing genuine Biblical community (Acts 2:42-47) in a society that drives us toward isolation is not easy. That’s part of the reason we’ve created our ministry structure in a way that encourages the formation of Community Groups.

Doing life and church together is what Community Groups are all about. For instance, Community Groups at PBC meet together on Sunday morning for breakout sessions before or after each worship service to discuss the pastor’s sermon.

Community Groups also do life together relative to what we call the 7 Functions of Biblical Community.

A Community Group consists of 30-50 people. Because we group our communities by geography, chances are you’ll meet some of your neighbors for Bible study in your Community Group on Sunday morning.

Joining a Community Group is one of the first steps to getting connected at PBC and to experiencing Biblical community as the early church did.
                                                                                                                 
Find a Community Group where you live

Enjoy a deeper connection with people from your own neighborhood by attending a Home Group. This is the heart and soul of our ministry at PBC and, we believe, an important step in a person’s spiritual formation journey.

Small groups of people meet in homes throughout the week while providing support and encouragement to one another throughout the year. The 7 Functions of Biblical Community govern what happens in a Home Group from week to week and from season to season.

Several Home Groups make up a Community Group. Both are geographically based so that you can actually do life and church with your neighbors, making it possible for you to experience genuine biblical community (Acts 2:42-47). This is truly one of the unique aspects of the ministry of Pantego Bible Church.

The PBC Singles Ministry is here to help equip you, the single adult, with the instruction, friendships, and spiritual coaching you need to be a fully-developing follower of Christ. We provide a community for single adults whose deepest desire is to grow in their relationship with Christ. Our goal is to live out the life-changing truth of the gospel as we live in true Biblical community with one another.

PBC Singles' Ministry provides a community of affirmation and accountability for single adults. Our goals are to affirm the identity, worth, and giftedness of the single person. From within these communities, we invite other singles to share the same purpose. Because single adults are valued at PBC, our small groups and activities are designed to help singles feel welcome as equally esteemed members of the Body of Christ.

We offer a Sunday morning Community Group which meets at the 10:45 hour and numerous Home Groups that meet during the week for deeper opportunities for fellowship and Bible study. We invite you to come and be a part of our community today!

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17

Most of the Men's Ministry at PBC takes place within community. By that we mean that as people connect within their Community Group and Home Groups in their area, they begin to grow in their involvement with each other. They share life together. It is common for the men within a Community Group or Home Group to get together for a Bible study, a weekly breakfast or an occasional movie night. It is a decentralized approach, but one that we feel is very effective at connecting men with God and with each other. We also have centralized events open to all men at our church.
 
The Men's Ministry of PBC exists to transform men through the work of the Holy Spirit into fully developing followers of Jesus Christ. We accomplish this by creating bridge-building events that connect men to God and others. A "bridge" event is one where the geographical distinctive of our existing community structure is incorporated into the event. For example, at our men's retreat in the fall, the men are grouped geographically in their cabin assignments to create an opportunity for men from the same area to connect at the event and encourage connections after they return home. The Men's Ministry is an extension of our geographical communities rather than an isolated ministry. We will always encourage men to greater depths of relationship with those in their communities. We believe this may provide the greatest opportunities for follow-up, ongoing support and accountability through their local Shepherds, Home Group leaders and community members. We limit the number of events to maximize participations and seek the greatest impact for our investment of time, energy and finances. You'll hear about these events through bulletin announcements and lobby booth displays. For more information regarding our Men's Ministry, please email our Men's Ministry Team or call Darren Holt at 817-274-1315, ext 389.

At Pantego Bible Church we strive to care for each other in community. We believe the people who are best suited to care for your needs are those living closest to you. That’s why we encourage you to get plugged into a community group and/or home group and enjoy doing life together with others who are passionately pursuing God.

In a PBC community group and/or home group, you’ll find people who love you and who really do care about your physical, emotional, and spiritual well being. Community groups mobilize to provide meals in times of crisis, visit the sick in hospitals and nursing homes, extend financial resources when needed, pray with you, and even cry with you and your family.

We believe that God calls all Christians to show compassion to those in need.  As we look at the desperate circumstances of so many in our surrounding communities, it is obvious the needs are large and growing.  We also believe that everything we are and everything we own belongs to God.  The question is, “How does God want us to use these resources to meet the physical, spiritual and emotional needs around us?” 

 

The mission of the Compassion Ministry at PBC is to provide opportunities and resources for our church body to show compassion to those in need through the giving of financial gifts and through intentional hands-on partnerships with credible agencies that care for the needs of the poor, the homeless and the oppressed in the Metroplex.

See a list of current Compassion Agency Partnerships.

In His last days with His disciples after His resurrection, Jesus commissioned the apostles to make disciples. It is our desire at Pantego Bible Church to be a part of fulfilling the Great Commission to make disciples in all of the nations!
