Watch To See Where God Is Working And Join Him

Thirty years ago, Joe and Sue left upstate New York for the south. They were so excited to live in an area where people were proud to be a Christian. The first church they went to, in another town, was not friendly so they eventually left. Joe was an interim pastor in upstate New York and became one in Burgaw, NC!  At times it was difficult living away from all of their family so in 2022 they decided to move back. After three weeks they knew they had made a mistake and had to come back to Wilmington because that was home.     

Years ago, Joe and Sue studied “Experiencing God” in Sunday school and remembered a quote that has always resonated with them. “Watch to see where God is working and join Him.”  They remembered this as they were looking for a church home. Their neighbors frequently invited them to PVMC’s Sunday services.  After some years they began attending the Thursday night service where they sensed a family atmosphere with a leader who loved Jesus, was transparent and friendly. 

Joe and Sue feel blessed by the worship teams on Thursday as well as Sundays. The ministry to our future leaders, the youth at PVMC and outreach focus endears us to want to give back out of gratitude and gratefulness here at PVMC. “The desire of our hearts since making Jesus our Lord and Savior has been to be obedient, loving Him first, serving others and using the gifts He has blessed us with in a fellowship within our community.” They are looking to get plugged in with their new family!  As Sue said, “we love to fellowship and hope in time to meet many as we wait upon Jesus’ triumphant return.”  Welcome to our church family Sue and Joe!
