This is Us
Sunday Worship Services
Join us each Sunday for worship filled with uplifting sermons and music. Brother Norman Cotton leads with a weekly Children’s Message, followed by his sermon that offers a meaningful and enriching learning experience. Our music ministry, under the direction of Lloyd Sutton, offers a joyful and inspiring time of worship through a blend of contemporary and traditional music.

Nursery
&
Children's Church Ministry
We are pleased to provide a nursery during our services, offering loving care for our youngest attendees. In addition, our Children’s Church Ministry meets in the newly remodeled Rose Hall building, where children enjoy age-appropriate teaching, engaging activities, and a welcoming environment designed to help them grow in their faith.
Missions & Outreach
At Ponderosa Baptist Church, we are deeply committed to serving both locally and abroad. Each week we gather for Mission Mondays in the New Fellowship Hall, meeting in the Sewing and Embroidery Room to prepare and support various ministries. Our church family actively partners with efforts such as The Way, The Joy Ministry, Jamaica mission trips, Camp Cadiz, and many others. We are proud of our congregation’s dedication to sharing God’s love and continually seek ways to open our hearts in service to others.
Music Ministry
At Ponderosa Baptist Church, music plays a vital role in our worship experience. Each service is filled with a blend of traditional hymns and contemporary songs, offering something for every heart and worship style.
Our PBC Worship Choir leads with joy and energy, while special music from individuals and groups adds inspiration and variety. We also incorporate both live music and music tracks to keep worship engaging, uplifting, and Spirit-filled.
Most importantly, our congregation’s faithful voices join together in praise, creating a powerful atmosphere of worship that draws us closer to God.
Whether you love singing in the choir, sharing special music, or lifting your voice from the pews, there’s a place for you in our Music Ministry.
Teens Ministry
We welcome all students from 6th grade through 12th grade to join our Teen Ministry! With our newly added classrooms, we provide a safe and engaging space for teens to grow in faith, build lasting friendships, and explore God’s Word together.
Our teen programs are designed to be fun, interactive, and meaningful, giving students opportunities to participate in group activities, special events, and service projects throughout the year. We are excited to walk alongside your teens as they develop spiritually, socially, and personally in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Backpack Ministry
At Ponderosa Baptist Church, we are honored to participate in the Kentucky Baptist Convention’s Backpack Ministry, a mission designed to share the love of Christ with children and families in need.
Each year, our church family comes together to fill backpacks with school supplies, hygiene items, clothing, toys, and food, along with a message of hope and the story of Jesus. These backpacks are distributed to children across Kentucky and surrounding areas, offering both practical help and the Good News of God’s love.
We kick off our collection with a community breakfast and packing event, where everyone is invited to help assemble the backpacks and pray over each one before they are delivered. It’s a wonderful opportunity for fellowship, service, and sharing God’s blessings with others.
Your donations and helping hands make this ministry possible—thank you for being part of this mission to bless children and families through Christ’s love!
