PBC WOMEN DESIRE TO ENGAGE ONE ANOTHER IN COMMUNITY, ESCAPE TOGETHER FOR FELLOWSHIP, AND EDIFY ONE ANOTHER TO GROW IN CHRIST. EVERYTHING WE DO SHOULD FALL INTO ONE OF THESE CATEGORIES.

ENGAGE NIGHTS (Ellen Dehm) - Women age 18 and up gather often throughout the year to build relationships in a casual setting complete with coffee, relaxation, and fellowship. Think Brew Crew, but better! These are “no pressure” nights to ENGAGE with other women. Some nights we will ENGAGE in worship while some nights in we will ENGAGE in prayer. Other nights we will ENGAGE in Scripture while some nights we will ENGAGE in service…. all the while ENGAGING in community through relationships with one another. Please contact us if you are unable to come because of childcare. SEE EVENTS BELOW.

ESCAPE: THE GETAWAY (Leslie Grampp) – Join us Friday, November 6th at 6.00PM through Saturday, November 7th at 4:00PM for an overnight women’s retreat at Streator Baptist Camp to connect with other women through fellowship, conversation, food, games and valuable messages. The theme for 2026 is “Finding Freedom” and will feature guest main speaker, Deb Pierce, a former missionary to Taiwan and former pastor’s wife, as well as three engaging workshops. The Getaway is such an important part of our PBC Women’s ministry each year. We hope to see you! More info to come!

EDIFY: (Jana Russow) – This is where we do the work to DIG deeper and GROW stronger in our faith as daughters of the King. For digging deeper, we recommend you watch the online teachings by Paige Brown when they are available on your own time. These teachings happen in the fall and spring for a short series of teaching through a specific book of the Bible. They are released for viewing on Wednesday mornings and are available for six days only. You are welcome to seek out other women also watching the teachings to create a small study group or watch party on your own.
Email julie@pontiacbible.org for more information and to sign up for to receive the teaching via email when it’s available.

Bible Studies: We also desire to offer random short Bible studies throughout the year at various times. SEE BELOW for current offerings.

Discipleship - You can also contact Julie if you’d like to be paired for discipleship which is another way we go DEEPER. You can either sign up to be a disciple maker or to be discipled. Just email julie@pontiacbible.org.
