How to Get Help, Give, or Contact Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood
Updated
Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood (pcbw.org) provides three main ways to connect beyond attending a service: you can request assistance through its Need Help? / Agape Fund channel, give through its online giving page, or reach the church through the Contact page. The site also lists upcoming events and fundraisers if you want to plug into community activities. Use the sections below to find the right entry point for your situation.
Requesting Help or Assistance
If you or someone you know needs support, the church offers a dedicated assistance path rather than a general contact form.
- Need Help? — a menu item on the site that routes visitors toward assistance resources.
- Agape Fund Assistance Form — a form specifically for requesting help through the Agape Fund.
How to use it: Open the Need Help? section, locate the Agape Fund Assistance Form, and complete it with your situation and contact details. The form is the intended input; submitting it is the action that starts the request. Because the site does not publish eligibility rules, turnaround times, or funding limits, treat the form itself as the way to learn what the fund can cover in your case.
If your need is not a fit for the Agape Fund, the Contact page is the fallback for reaching a person directly.
Giving Online
The site includes a Give Online entry for donations. This is the church's stated online giving option; no payment platforms, amounts, or fee details are published in the available site information, so check the giving page itself for the current methods it accepts.
A practical note: if you want your gift tied to a specific program, the site separates several ministries and funds (for example, the Agape Fund and Big Wood School), so read the giving page labels before submitting rather than assuming a single general fund.
Contacting the Church
The Contact page is the central place for reaching the church. The site's contact block is built around these fields:
| Field | What to provide |
|---|---|
| Street Address | Your mailing address, if needed |
| City, State, Zip | Your location details |
| Phone Number | A number where you can be reached |
The site also publishes direct contact details in event listings. For example, the MOMS Group listing gives [email protected] and a phone/text number (818-469-0178) for more information, which shows that ministry leaders can be reached directly by email or text.
To contact the church: go to the Contact page, fill in the address and phone fields, and submit. If your question is about a specific ministry, using the leader contact listed with that event or group is often faster than the general form.
Staying Informed: Events and Fundraisers
The Events and UPCOMING EVENTS sections list what is happening in the community, including recurring groups and seasonal activities. Examples visible on the site include:
- MOMS Group — 1st and 3rd Wednesdays at 10:00 AM, with other locations on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays; the listing advises calling to confirm. Childcare is provided.
- Fuel Youth Groups — listed for October 4, 2026 – November 8, 2026.
- Fall Fundraisers and Festivities 2026 — a seasonal fundraiser and event listing.
How to use this: check the Events page for dates, then confirm details by phone or email, since at least one listing explicitly says to call to confirm. This matters because recurring events can shift location or time.
Other Ways to Connect
Beyond help, giving, and contact, the site lists several ongoing connection points:
- Worship Services and Live Streaming — attend in person or watch Sunday's service online, with past sermons available.
- Sermons — a separate archive for past messages.
- RightNow Media — access to 20,000+ Bible and discipleship resources.
- CBW on Spotify — listen to Sunday's worship songs during the week.
- Get Involved — service opportunities, ministries, and volunteer roles, including at Big Wood School.
If your goal is to serve rather than to receive help, start with Get Involved or the Volunteer and Employment Opportunities listing under Big Wood School.
