The PFN Mission

KNOWN · VALUED · PURPOSED

At PFN, we create environments where people consistently experience God and are equipped and empowered to reach their full potential in Christ.

KNOWN

I can come to know Jesus and be known by Him. I can know others and they can know me.

VALUED

I can learn to value people who are different than me and be valued by them as well.

PURPOSED

I can discover purpose in my life by being obedient to Jesus everyday, and help others to do the same.

Our History

PFN is a 90+ year old, alive, growing church. We started in 1927 with 5 people who were transformed at a tent revival. As a Church, we are a group of people living out the truth of God’s Word by following Jesus, loving God and others, learning and growing, and serving, giving and going. Our 4 congregations are committed to help people reconnect to God in Pekin, Peoria, Washington, Tazewell County and online. As we look back, we are grateful and appreciative for all God has done. As we look forward, we celebrate that our best days are ahead!
