The prayer was answered when the people of Pinecrest moved into their new campus in 2007, after nearly three years of meeting in area schools each week.With a heart and vision for missions, Pastor Mack continues to lead PBC missions teams in visiting several fields, providing aid to missionaries and holding evangelistic crusades.
