This is the one time each year we ask each of our member churches (English- and Spanish-speaking) to send representatives to gather for updates, praise reports, fellowship, encouragement, and voting.

Required AB-506 for Pastors

Beginning in January 2022, California law requires pastors and those who work with youth to take child abuse mandated reporter training. You may take the free training provided online by the government (2 hours for regular volunteers, 4 hours for staff/admins, 6 hours for clergy).

But we have an alternate choice for your consideration. PCN has worked out a deal with Kingdom One so you can take their shorter course (60 minutes for volunteers, 90 minutes for staff/admins /clergy) for a small, discounted rate through Kingdom One Academy. Use the code (PCN). Their courses do satisfy the legal requirements for AB-506 training.

Fortaleza Whittier Joins PCN

This Spanish congregation of the Plymouth Church in Whittier is approximately 150-people strong. They recently joined PCN because their pastor, Edgardo Moreno, had attended many PCN events in the past and enjoyed the training, fellowship, and connection opportunities. Welcome Fortaleza.

Palm Springs Revitalization

Under the leadership of the outgoing pastor, Perry White, Palm Springs Baptist Church has asked PCN to revitalize their church. They have given PCN all leadership responsibilities to find a new pastor and basically start a new church. Currently PCN has identified a strong candidate for senior pastor and is working with the transition team in Palm Springs. PCN has also helped them update their website.

Small Church Conference

Monday & Tuesday, May 1-2

If you are a small church leader, this is an encouraging and helpful conference. PCN partners with Transformation Ministries for this event. Save the date and bring your spouse. Did you know over 2/3 of American churches have a worship attendance under 100?
