Missions
At PVCC, we believe we are called to support our communities with our time, treasure, and talents. We support various missions that target specific needs locally, regionally, and globally. By meeting physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs, we aim to fulfill God's calling for His Church to be His hands and feet to the world. Below you will find the missions we regularly support and links to their websites.
