Community Outreach

At Palmetto Community Church, we believe in the power of community, and it is one of our core missions to connect with those in our surrounding area.

By connecting with our fellow neighbors, we can make a difference in people’s everyday lives that will foster more community involvement, better public servants, and create opportunities to share the Word of God. 

 

REVERSE ADVENT CALENDAR, HOW DOES IT WORK?

With Traditional Advent Calendars, you receive something each day.

With a Reverse Advent Calendar, you give something each day.

Our PCC Reverse Advent Calendar will start this Tuesday, November 18th and run thru Wednesday, December 10th. All items collected will be used in our Blessing Box Ministry.

So, how does this work? First of all, take a sheet from the stand in the lobby when you leave Sunday. It has a suggested item for every day from November 18th – December 10th. Collect as many items as you can (it is OK if you cannot get everything on the list!) and bring them to church with you the following Sunday. For example, next Sunday, November 23rd, you should bring a box of cereal, peanut butter, stuffing mix, box of mashed potatoes, box of mac and cheese, and a can of fruit. Again, if you can’t bring everything, that is OK – just bring what you can.

By Sunday, December 14th, we should have a good supply of items to make available to those who are in need during this holiday season.

Kristen Martin is the head of our Blessing Box Ministry. If you have any questions about what is appropriate to bring, please see her.

The PCC Blessing Box ministers right here to those in our area who need some help. I hope you will be a part of the Reverse Advent Calendar this year.

Operation Christmas Child October-November 2025

Thank you all so much! Without you these ministries would not be possible. 

A Message from Kristen

It was a huge blessing dropping off the OCC boxes this morning (November 18th, 2025) at Charleston Baptist. Our church contributed 83 boxes! I would like to thank everyone that helped make this possible. From all the prayers and donations- we are helping reach many children to share the love of Jesus! Keep praying over this mission and we will continue OCC next year! 
 
Thank again and God Bless,
Kristen Martin 

For the Month of July 2025, PCC’s Women’s Ministry collected items for the Low Country Orphan Relief. The Photos below show what an amazing ministry this is and how much PCC collected for this wonderful outreach. The items were delivered to LOR and volunteers helped sort and store the items. Special Thanks to Kristin Martin and Kate Capps. Thank you to everyone who helped or donated. 

In January, we kicked off the New Year 2025 with a Baby Bottle Ministry for the Low Country Pregnancy Center

During the month of January, we took up donations for the baby bottle ministry. People who chose to donate took an empty baby bottle home and over the next few weeks filled it with coins, cash and checks. At the end of the month, they were returned and put back into the Playpen. Pastor Paul then prayed over this ministry and every baby whose life it may help to save. We collected a total of $930.77. Our First Lady Traci Zerbst took the donations to the Low Country Pregnancy Center. This is a cause we feel strongly about and really appreciate everyone who donated.
