We exist to connect people to full life in Jesus. Cultivating the sort of relationship with Jesus that yields full life is rooted in community –more specifically, a community that is striving to know Jesus. Below, you can find an up-to-date list of opportunities to get connected here at PCTR.
Join us on May 30th for our first VBS workday. We’ll be prepping some of the materials and pieces that will help us convert our every day spaces into a spectacular rainforest for this July’s Vacation Bible School. Join us on 5/30 from 9am - 12pm.

Gaming, social media, and interpersonal relationships can be tools used by human trafficking organizations to target teens and young adults. Next Gen students, parents, teachers, and others who want to learn more should plan to attend this Human Trafficking Awareness event on June 6 from 10 am - 2pm to more about how traffickers target teens and how to help the next generation be alert and safe. Light breakfast and lunch will be served.
Veterans and their families are invited to join us for a BBQ in celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the USA! If you or a family member have served in the US Armed Forces, this one is for you! A speaker from the VA will join us over lunch.
It takes a lot of volunteers to take a big group of kids to a rainforest (even if it is in our own building!) Are you one of those VBS Volunteers? Volunteer registration is now open for this year's July 6-10 Vacation Bible School. Roles include crew leaders/helpers, Station helpers, behind the scenes preparations, and more. Registration is at pctr.org/vbsvolunteer. Please note, there will be two orientation/training dates held in May. You must attend at least one of them: May 9 at 11 am or May 7 at 7 pm
Join us July 6-10, 2026 (9am - 12 pm) as we step through the mist into Rainforest Falls VBS, overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees, and colorful creatures. Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids will plunge into a lifelong adventure of discovering the nature of God. They’ll explore what it means to be rooted in relationship with God, their creator, a safe place in life’s storms. Kids who have completed a year of PreK3 - 5th grade are welcome.
