PV Lineup Booklet

F O R T A K I N G Y O U R N E X T S T E P A T P V

We, as a church, are here to unleash the transforming influence of 

Jesus in PV, the Northland and beyond. Jesus transforms one heart at 

a time. Are you ready to open yours? 

Life is messy, and tough topics and big ideas aren’t meant to be 

tackled alone. We need each other to grow and thrive. The studies 

offered this semester will cover topics about marriage and family, 

care and support needs, and personal spiritual growth. Do you need 

some encouragement in these areas? Do you need the reminder that 

we aren’t in this alone? 

In every journey, there is a next step. That’s true for your spiritual 

journey too. Whether you’re exploring what it means to have a 

relationship with Jesus or you are excited to know Him better, we 

want to walk with you. 

So I invite you to take the next step. Consider this booklet a road 

map of opportunities where we can grow together. In these studies, 

you will meet new people, share your story and open yourself up 

to the possibility of a transformed heart. It may feel risky at first, but 

when we do life together, we begin to realize that Jesus meets us 

wherever we are in the journey.

TUESDAY 

Sacred Secrets (women’s study) 

9:30-11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 28-March 4 


The world is obsessed with telling secrets 

for the sake of sensationalism. But not all 

hidden things are poisonous and dark. 

This study explores secrets: some forgiven, 

some covered, and some just between 

you and God. Join us as we find out 

what happens when we let God teach us 

“wisdom in the secret heart” (Psalm 51:6). 


Nehemiah (women’s study) 

9:30-11:30 a.m. Tues., March 4-April 29 


Nehemiah’s heart was so broken for those

in need that he left the comfort of his 

Persian palace to help them. Are you 

ready to let God break your heart for 

a hurting, lost world and move you in 

compassion to be the hands and feet of 

Jesus? Study will not meet on March 19 

due to spring break. 


WEDNESDAY 

God’s Own (women’s study) 

6:30 p.m. Weds., Jan. 29-March 19 


“Gods Own” is a women’s study for all 

ages containing stories taken from the 

author’s real life combined with related 

biblical truths. You will connect each 

week through fellowship, laughter and 

girl time, all while learning that we, as 

women, have one thing in common: the 

quest for joy, peace and drawing closer 

to God. So close that you will begin to 

see yourself from the reflection in His 

eyes. His beautiful daughter. God is 

proud to call you his very own! Books for 

purchase during the first session for $10. 



6:30-8 p.m. Weds., Jan. 22-March 26

Lord, Give Me a Heart for You 

(women’s study) 

6:30 p.m. Wednesdays, Jan. 29-April 9 

10 sessions | The Well 

The apostle Paul was criticized, opposed, 

and attacked. He wrestled with his 

weaknesses. He struggled with fragile 

relationships. He was often weary, tired, 

and discouraged. There are times when 

you can identify with Paul’s experience. 

In this study based on 2 Corinthians, 

you’ll examine the anatomy of a heart 

for God. What it looks like, what it feels 

like and how you can strengthen your 

relationship with God. Study will not 

meet on March 19 due to spring break. 



Kingdom Man (men’s study) 

6:15 a.m. Wednesdays, Jan. 29-March 19 

8 sessions | West Wing 

Our world is on a downward path of selfdestructive 

behavior. It’s up to men to 

take the lead in raising the standard back 

to where God originally placed it. This 

book is about raising that standard and 

defining manhood as God intended. It’s 

about discovering what it means to be a 

Kingdom Man. 


Manhood Restored 

(men’s study) 

6:30 p.m. Wednesdays, Jan. 29-March 19 


Manhood will always be in crisis until 

Jesus returns. But in Christ, men can 

be restored with ever increasing glory 

into the undefiled image of God. This 

study leads men on a journey through 

masculinity, with Bible-study sessions on 

the problems men face, God’s solutions, 

and the restorations of worldview, 

sexuality, vision, and family. 


Ready, Set, GO! Class 

6:30-8 p.m. Wednesdays, Feb. 5-19 


Ready, Set, GO! is designed to prepare 

you spiritually and practically for the next 

steps in your calling - to GO! This threeweek 

class will prepare your heart, soul 

and mind to share the hope you have 

inside as you go to serve!

Living By the Book (men’s 

study) 

10-11 a.m. Thurs., Jan. 30-May 8

some of the these prophetic utterances 

and exercise the techniques outlined 

in this book authored by Howard 

Hendricks. Join us to not only learn how 

to properly interpret scripture, but also 

the transforming power of the truths of 

God’s word for our lives.

Have you decided? 

After you’ve explored the claims of Jesus and the Bible, you’ll find yourself at a decision point. If you’ve not accepted 

Jesus as your Lord and Savior, consider admitting that you are a sinner in need of a Savior, believing that Jesus is the 

living Son of God and choosing to follow Him the rest of your life. If you need to talk to someone, talk to one of our 

pastors or prayer partners following your weekend service or call the church office at 816.781.5959. 

Ready to call PV your church home? 

And if you think PV may be the church you want to call “home”, join us at one of our upcoming Membership Classes on 

Wednesday, January 29 or Wednesday, April 9 from 6:30-8 p.m. in the Next Steps room. Membership class is where you’ll 

learn about PV’s vision, values, doctrinal beliefs and expectations of those who want to join what God is doing at PV. 

Want to grow deeper in community? 

When God gave Jesus the mission of reaching the world with the good news of His love and grace, Jesus employed a 

radical strategy: he poured his life into a small group (his 12 disciples). Life-change happens best in biblical Community 

because it provides the place to experience transformation through Gospel-centered Bible study and discussion, share 

in life-giving relationships with others and understand and engage in the greater mission of God. 

Community Groups are one of the primary vehicles of life transformation at Pleasant Valley. If you find yourself ready to 

engage in this kind of community, visit PleasantValley.org, pick up a list of featured Community Groups at the Next Steps 

Center during a weekend service or contact Josh Herod (jherod@, x302) or Ryan Long (rlong@, x320).
