"We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us."
- 1 Thessalonians 2:8

Welcome!  Women’s Connection at PBC is a community made up of real women with real lives who seek to love Jesus and one another. Multi-generational and multi-ethnic, we come from a variety of faith and family backgrounds and we all benefit from the richness of our diversity. 

Together, we learn and grow through Bible study, pastoral teaching, and small group relationships.  We share our joys, our struggles, our hopes, and our life stories.  We listen, pray, and speak loving truth in a safe environment.  As we do so, we help one another to discover and develop the unique gifts that God has given each of us, and to see the ways in which His Spirit is shaping us through our muddled journeys.  We remind one another of who we truly are: women created in God’s image and newly created in Jesus; forgiven, whole, free.

If you’re interested in building relationships within a community of authentic, caring women who love Jesus and love to have fun, we invite you to join us!
