Women's ministry

Women of Promise

Women of Promise seeks to create a sisterhood of women growing in God that encourages women to live out their full God-given potential for themselves and their families. Women of Promise fellowships include Bible studies, events, and a rich online community on their Facebook Group page. We believe in creating an atmosphere for women that encourages all women to feel that they belong and can be heard. Join us every Tuesday at 7pm for our weekly Women’s Bible Study via Zoom.

Women of Promise is led by Pastor Cynthia Peña, who works in the Health field. She is passionate about encouraging and teaching women to take hold of the promises of God despite their current challenges. Join the Women of Promise every Tuesday at 7:00pm for Bible study and fellowship.

Young Adults

Set Ablaze

Set Ablaze Young Adults is designed to connect young adults ages 18-35 with intentional community that encourages and develops their faith. Set Ablaze Fellowship consists of live music, activities, and relevant teaching that targets young adult issues within the urban context. We believe in creating an atmosphere where everyone from all walks of life can belong and encounter God in an authentic and safe space. Our thriving young adult’s ministry is the heart of PLCC as young adults are given many opportunities to grow in weekly Bible studies, leadership opportunities, and share their passions.

Set Ablaze Young Adults is led by Young Adults Director Mae Leger who is a current Master’s student at St. John’s University. Mae brings her many years of experience as a community organizer and educator to her role as overseer. She is deeply passionate about helping youth and young adults reach their fullest potential as lifelong, passionate disciples of Christ.

Youth Ministry

Promised Youth

Promised Youth is designed to help middle school and high school students grow their faith, their character, and their relationships through bi-weekly Saturday night youth fellowships. Friday fellowships consist of games, youth-led worship, and teachings that deal with relevant issues that equip the youth with biblical wisdom to be lights within their urban context in the Bronx. Promised Youth’s main focus is on relationships, both with the youth and their parents, to build a bridge that connects the entire family to God.

Promised Youth is led by Youth Director Matthew Carrion who is a current seminary student. Matthew brings to this role his years of experience as a leader of community youth organizations such as South Bronx Kids and as educator for the NYC Department of Education. His passion is to see the youth fall deeply in love with Jesus and become lifelong disciples that transform the world. He is also an avid Star Wars and movie fan who enjoys dancing and theological discussions on his free time.

Kingdom Kids
