A Word From Rev. Randy Innes, Senior Pastor
Welcome to the Pine Valley United Methodist Church website! In my (unbiased, of course :-)) opinion, you have come to the right place. PVUMC is a church whose mission is to—“make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.” So if you are seeking that kind of church in the greater Wilmington, NC area, you’ve come to the right place! We are a church that seeks to practice what has today become a well-known mantra within The United Methodist Church—5 Practices of Fruitful Congregations. These practices include: (1) Radical Hospitality, (2) Passionate Worship, (3) Intentional spiritual formation from the cradle to the grave—i.e. we are an intergenerational church family, (4) Risk-taking mission and ministry in the world, and (5) Extravagant Generosity.
Please take your time exploring the various pages of our website, and you’ll see that PVUMC is a Christ-focused church. I also hope you will consider joining us for the worship of God at one of our three Sunday morning worship services. Two of our three Sunday services are traditional & liturgical in style (at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m.), with music led by our Chancel Choir. They are held in the sanctuary. The third service is contemporary in style (also at 11:00 a.m.), with music led by our Praise Team. It is held in our Christian Life Center (CLC) gymnasium. Sunday school classes are offered for all ages at 9:45 a.m.
Allow me to share a thought with you from a devotional book that I’m using this year, entitled “Jesus Calling”, by Sarah Young. In the book, each daily devotion is written as if it were God speaking directly to you in the first person. It’s been amazing to me that each day they speak to my heart. For January 19, she writes—“Let me displace worry at the center of your being… I am the goal of all your searching. When you seek Me, you find Me and are satisfied.” I hope God speaks to your heart and finds you as you search this PVUMC website.
Grace and peace in Christ our Lord,
Randy Innes, Senior Pastor
