GreenFaith  As good stewards of the earth, PCM works with Sustainable Morristown to make our community more economically sound, environmentally aware and sustainable. We are in the process of becoming a GreenFaith church. 

Morris Afterschool Program (MAP)  PCM provides weekly tutoring for 20 Morris School District 1st and 2nd grade students. From 3:30-6:00pm, students enjoy a snack, activity, tutoring and a hot, family-style dinner. 

Operation Love  Every year, PCM participates in Operation Love hosted by the Church of God in Christ. Volunteers donate, wrap and deliver boxes of food, fruit, clothing, toys and personal items to help Morris County families and senior citizens celebrate Christmas.

They support immigrants within our community through Pathways to Work and the Morris Area Committee to Reduce Gun Violence. 

Worship at Spring Hills Nursing Home In partnership with other local churches, volunteers from PCM participate in a ministry of worship, music and fellowship Sunday mornings at this local rehab/long-term care facility. 

 

Military Ministry  This ministry offers care and support to soldiers serving overseas and those who have returned home to New Jersey. One way you can help is to write a supportive, caring letter to "Dear Soldier".

Christianity in Action

Each person has a purpose and a place in mission.

2 Corinthians 9:12  "This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God."

Outreach Objective: To encourage each ministry of the church to engage members in mission actions to promote Christian relationships with those in need of support. The goal is to bless all individuals with a sense of purpose through this involvement.
