Our teaching is Bible-based, Christ-centric, and applicable to our day-to-day lives. The worship style is diverse, utilizing modern songs as well as traditional hymns. (For more information on our beliefs, please visit us here.)

We recognize that Pathway may not be the church for everyone. Biblical community is very important to us and if Pathway is not a good fit for you or your family, we want to help you find a church home. There are several fantastic, Christ-centered churches in Northeastern Indiana and we’d be happy to point you in a direction that might be a better fit for you. Please contact us so that we can help!

Yes! Our worship services stream at 5pm Saturdays, 9am and 11am Sundays at PCCFW.tv. Later in the week, you can catch previous worship and messages on our YouTube channel. We’d love to have you with us anytime as part of our online community.

Each weekend about 3,000 adults, students, and kids are part of our in-person worship services. We are large church, but we offer many opportunities to find community in smaller environments. If you’re looking for a smaller worship space on the weekends, join us Saturday evenings at 5pm, or worship with us in The Venue (our upstairs worship environment) on Sunday mornings at 9am + 11am. We also recommend getting connected to a serving opportunity or a group.

If you want the Pathway worship experience without the crowd, we invite you to worship with us on Saturday evenings at 5pm on our main level. We also offer a smaller worship environment on Sunday mornings at 9am + 11am in The Venue. The Venue service takes place upstairs, where a live band leads worship and the weekend teaching is streamed from the larger space on our main level. The Venue a great place to find community!

Our Senior Pastor Ron Williams and four other Fort Wayne families founded Pathway Community Church. Ron’s teaching style can be described as practical, relatable, and easy-to-understand. He has a heart to see all people encounter Jesus and grow deeper in relationship with Him.

We uphold the doctrine of the Missionary Church denomination, headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Go to mcusa.org for information on the Missionary Church, or here for more information on our doctrinal statements.

We celebrate communion once every two months. We typically observe communion on the first full weekend of the month. However, we may decide to move it to another weekend for a variety of reasons.

As followers of Jesus, we take communion together as a community. While we do not feel a thimble of grape juice and a cracker are the best representation of biblical communion, we do believe that in a large worship environment, we are able to reflect on 1 Corinthians 11:25-29. In doing so we give thanks in remembrance of Jesus who took the sin of the world upon Himself and died on a cross so that those who accept His free gift of grace would not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). We feel communion is more accurately displayed as part of a meal in a community of Christ-followers who are doing life together. For more on our life groups click here.

We have a sign language interpreter who serves in most 11am services in our main Worship Center. There is a section reserved at the front of the room on the left. Please let us know if you plan on attending a specific weekend, or if you have any questions: info@pccfw.org.

Translation/transcription is available through the Polyglossia website during live services in the following languages: English, Spanish, Ukrainian, Arabic, Chinese, Burmese/Myanmar, Hindi). Access Polyglossia HERE.

Pathway attire ranges from casual to business casual. From shorts and flip-flops to slacks and dress-shirts, we have quite a variety of styles here.
