For several years Sheila Nelson has done a superb job teaching and ministering to these lovable ladies. Often referred to as our "Hug-a-Bunch" these senior sweethearts are equally involved in various adult ministries, the PBC Prayer Chain, and regular class fellowships. Widows as well as unescorted senior ladies will find a very comfortable place in the arms of our "Hug-a-Bunch."

Also known as the “Women of Worth” Class (WOW), these adult ladies enjoy the expertise of their Bible teacher, Charlotte Balliet, as she challenges them with practical insights from God’s Word each week.

| Primetime Class | Tommy Raley |
|
Tommy Raley, Director of Missions of the World Baptist Fellowship in Arlington, is also director and teacher for this class of mature married couples. Bro. Raley has a gift of teaching the Bible and making it apply to everyday situations for his students. Visitors will feel welcomed in this atmosphere of love and learning.
Special Note: To provide additional space for our growth and expansion, our Friendship Class and our Primetime Class have relocated to the Main Sanctuary during Sunday School.
Students in these two classes will continue to enjoy the great Bible teaching they've come to love as Bro. Caviness and Bro. Raley alternate their teaching with other adult teachers at PBC.
This temporary arrangement should prove beneficial for everyone in the long run.

| Special Needs Ministry | |
|
|
The increasing number of families with special needs children and adults brings the need to form and implement a brand new ministry at PBC. We are currently assimilating information and recruiting specially trained personnel to assist us in this very important ministry. Future restructuring of our current ministries and buildings will allow us to begin this new ministry. Thanks for your patience and prayers during this time of preparation.

| FutureClasses | |
|
God continues to bless our church with new families on a regular basis. Because of His increased blessings, we have run out of space in our current facilities. Therefore, we have combined several groups of adults that would otherwise be located in separate classrooms.
We have recently met with different construction companies in view of building additional educational space to make room for new classes. Those adult classes would likely be divided into these stages of life: newlyweds, ages 18-25, ages 25-35, ages 35-45. In addition to these adult classes, we’d like to find a place to begin a class for Families with Special Needs, and a class for PBC Men. We appreciate your patience and prayers as we move forward with God’s timing and direction.
