Pryor Creek Community Church is an
assembly of believers in Jesus Christ that have an
intense desire to live their lives wholly for the
glory of God. Within this family of faith, there are
a multiplicity of gifts and callings that are
functioning to the glory of God and to the
well-being of the Church. Pryor Creek Community
Church is an Evangelical Church that is not
affiliated with any major denomination. Pastor
Melton's gifts are apparent in his preaching; the gift of repentance preaching.
Pastor Melton has been led of God to re-dig the
"old-wells" and to study the ministries of the Puritans, such as
Jonathan Edwards, John Owens, William Gurnall, Joseph Aillene, and Richard Baxter. Also, Charles Spurgeon,
William Booth, Judson, Tozer and Ravenhill have
deeply impacted Pastor Melton's life.
The services at Pryor Creek Community Church are
powerful and life changing. The worship is Christ
exalting, using both hymnody and choruses that glorify God and
His sovereignty. The messages that come from the
pulpit are powerfully anointed and life changing.
Each message challenges the believer to commit to
Christ Jesus and to bear their own cross in self denial.
Pryor Creek Community Church stands opposed to the
easy believism that is so prevalent in modern churches.
We stand upon the scriptural authority that man must
be regenerated before he can enter the Kingdom of God.
We find no scriptural authority for common practices
such as the "sinners prayer" which leads to false
conversions.
The Scriptures declare that through repentance for
sin, and faith towards God, man is converted or
regenerated. Being so,
we refuse to conform to the commonly practiced,
cultural religious etiquette; but stand strong upon
the authority of the
Word of God that declares man must repent of his
sins, and assert faith towards God to be truly
born-again.
We believe that true repentance will produce the
fruit of godly living. Without this fruit, true
repentance has not been
attained. The work of the Holy Spirit is to convict
the world of sin; being so, conviction is a grace
unto repentance.
Without this work, salvation is impossible. It is
imperative that the powerful preaching of the Law of
God and the
Gospel of Jesus Christ come into conflict with
sinful man that he might see his condemned state as
a sinner and to
experience the deep conviction and contrition for
his sins against a Holy God. Moreover, it is
imperative that the sinner understands
that Jesus Christ is his only way of escape from the
wrath of God that is upon all sinful men such as
himself. In this great
dilemma, the sinner repents of his sins, and trusts
in Christ for His mercy and pardon unto salvation.
Subsequently,
the redeemed man becomes a follower of Jesus Christ,
devoted to Him and committed for eternity.
We also believe that Missions is an imperative
command for the Lord's true church. PCCC is deeply
involved with
world missions; not only monetarily by giving
finances, but practically by sending believers into
the field of harvest.
PCCC is in partnership with Asian Tribal Ministries
based out of Chiang Mai, Thailand. This partnership
produces
opportunities for teams to be sent into the war-zone
areas of Burma for outreach with the Karen tribe.
PCCC sends
two or more teams per year to this remote region as
the Lord opens up the doors.
We also believe that we are to take care of our
orphans and widows. Since 1993 the State of Oklahoma
has worked hand-in-hand with us, bringing us 400-500
teenagers per year from across our State to hear the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Thunderbird Youth
Academy located in Pryor, Oklahoma has been in
relationship with us, entrusting us to provide
services for their cadets. This is a unique
opportunity to reach this generation of at-risk
youth with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to make
disciples of them; as these are the orphans of our
society. We are blessed beyond measure to serve
them, and to love them.
Our great desire is to see the body of Christ
mobilized and functioning as a body and not
individuals after their own desires.
In this desire, we strive for each member of the
body of Christ to excel in the gifts in which they
have been entrusted.
The membership of PCCC are actively engaged in the
body of Christ; they are not just filling a pew. The
membership
is submitted to the vision of the local church and
under authority of the leadership of the church,
with zeal and passion.
We are passionately going forward, growing together,
and glorifying God as we advance. We invite you to
join us in this pursuit!
