Empowered Kingdom Growth Seek First the King and His Kingdom

Empowering Kingdom Growth is a call for individual believers

of The People’s Community Baptist Church to renew their passion for the Lord Jesus and the reign of His

Kingdom in their hearts and families.

Consequently, God can and will forge a spirit of spiritual movement marked by holy living,

sacrificial service, and global witness.

We continue to pray for the fresh wind of God’s spirit to blow through our congregation, renewing our hearts,

healing our wounds, forming our character in the likeness of Christ, filling us with spiritual power, and moving us

to empower kingdom growth.

JOY TO THE WORLD

Joy to the World!, the Lord is come: Let earth receive her King;

Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room, And heav’n and nature sing, And heav’n and nature sing,

And heav’n, and heav’n, and nature sing.

Joy to the World! the Savior reigns; Let us, our songs employ;

While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love,

And wonders, wonders, of His love.

Please join us for quarterly Prayer Ministry

workshops on the 5th Friday of the month.
