Ministries
There are many ways to get involved and serve at Providence Church of Texas. Explore our ministries below.
To minister means to serve. It has nothing to do with how important one is and everything to do with serving others. Rather than provide our own definition of ministry, we'll borrow the words of the Master Himself:
“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
— Mark 10:45
