OUr Year of Abiding
We don’t use the term “abide” much anymore, so why would we make it our central focus for the year? The simple answer is because it is a major focus of Jesus’s teaching in John 15. There, Jesus says, “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.”
The modern definition of abide is simply to accept, tolerate, or act in accordance with something, but the biblical usage of the word refers to so much more! Biblically, to abide in Christ means to remain with, dwell in, and maintain an intimate relationship with Jesus. It refers to how we live out our ongoing union with Christ every day.
Abiding in Christ means being deeply connected to Him, like a branch is connected to a vine. This connection is not an abstract theological concept but a real, living, and vital relationship. It means depending upon Jesus for life, strength, and growth; it means maintaining a continuous state of communion with Jesus; and it also means trusting in and turning to God’s Word to shape your deepest desires, thoughts, and actions.
Abiding in Jesus is important because it is how we bear fruit in our lives. God created you to bear fruit. He created you to do good works and to grow in godly character in ways that reflect his life and goodness. Apart from Jesus, our lives will lack fruit, and worse yet, they will produce thorns.

Greetings from the Lead Pastor

Garrett Spitz
Lead Pastor
Lead Pastor
I hope that when you come to PCC you get an understanding that Jesus and the cross is a whole lot more than just an entry level truth. I hope that you might come and hang around for a while and make sure you know who Jesus is and get to decide whether or not you like him. It’s got to begin there. “Do I even like him? Do I want to get to know him? What does the Bible tell me about him that makes him an interesting person, a loving person – someone that I want to know as a friend?” And then for you to not only find him interesting and engaging and attractive but to see that he is making a difference in the lives of other people. I hope that you would come and hang around and make some friendships here and find that Jesus is the one who is restoring lives. His work on the cross provides forgiveness and inner transformation.
Jesus is the one who is taking people whose lives are tragically and very evidently broken and yet he has given them hope to go on. Jesus is the one who has taken people whose lives are quite successful but have realized how that isn't enough and they want to be part of a bigger story. Jesus is making himself their treasure and pleasure too. And after you get to hear who he is and see what he is doing, I hope you’ll come to a point of deciding that you want that for your life and want Jesus to be your treasure and pleasure - that you would want to be caught up in the story that God is telling throughout all of history so that you, like we, would become mobilized to get that story, both verbally and in deed, out to the whole world.
