Beloved brethren and
friends of PCCC:
It began as a dream, an
idea, and a vision over six years ago. It was a vision that grew out
of a need. Although there were over 50 congregations in our
immediate community, we knew of many folks that were either staying
home or not attending any church. The Lord placed a burden, a
passion and a vision to lift up the fallen and restore them to the
community of faith. For over 6 years, PCCC has been used by God to
reach, restore and edify many lives. Many have come to the saving
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. After all these years, we see
the need to have our own installations to house our worship center,
classrooms, counseling center and offices.
The vision became a
drawing, an architect’s idea committed to paper. Committees started
to meet. Fund raising for our house had begun the moment we started
the ministry. But now it was evident that we needed to take these
efforts to another level.
In December 2009, we
made an offer to acquire a property located in the Riverside Section
of Paterson, New Jersey which was accepted by its current owners.
We have taken a step of
faith. We have before us a challenging goal in sight - a goal we
believe fulfills God’s mission for our congregation and community.
We can’t get there in one leap, however. So we’re starting the
journey one step at a time, stepping out in faith, even in a time of
economic uncertainty.
In this journey, we know
that God will prove Himself to be faithful once again. But at the
same time, he challenges our faith by asking us to make a commitment
of faith. We are persuaded that together, united with our Lord, we
can fulfill this vision of “Uniting Generations to Change the
World”.
United in vision,
Rev. Dr.
Peter Ramos
Senior
