Park Cities Baptist Church has a strong history of serving the Vickery community of Dallas. Vickery is located between Greenville Avenue, Park Lane, Northwest Highway, and Skillman Road. A generous financial gift from the Wise family was given for mission efforts in Vickery. The Wise Trust Committee was created to oversee the use of that gift and coordinate ministry by PCBC in Vickery. This wonderful gift has enabled PCBC to strengthen its focus and commitment for reaching the community for Christ. Sam Silva, through our partnership with Buckner, is coordinating our efforts and working within the community to build alliances and mobilize PCBC in Vickery.
The mission of PCBC and the Wise Trust Committee is to build relationships and meet needs in Vickery in order to share the love of Christ and engage people from Vickery in worship and Bible study at PCBC. Every ministry, ranging from ESL classes to mentoring, seeks to share Christ’s love. As Christians, we are asking God to move in this community and work through us to bring new believers into God’s kingdom.
God is at work. Families from Vickery are now regularly attending worship and Bible Study at PCBC. God continues to use PCBC volunteers to build relationships by meeting needs through the ministries we are offering in Vickery.
We hope you will be involved with us in what God is doing in Vickery!
