About PGK & Our Purpose Statement
PGK is an acronym for Projects to Glorify the King. PGK comes from the first letter in the last names of the three founders: Dee Parramore, Allen Grimes, and Hiram Kemp. Dee and Allen are members of churches of Christ in central Florida. Hiram preaches at the Lehman Avenue Church of Christ in Bowling Green, KY.
PGK started in 2021 when three friends sat down and began discussing what we could do together for the cause of Christ through art, writing, and other creative avenues. We wanted to create engaging material through various projects that will help people of every age come to know and appreciate the timeless message of the gospel. We do not believe the Bible is a bunch of disconnected stories that do not relate to each other. Instead, the Bible is one story from Genesis to Revelation about God’s love for humanity and His willingness to do anything to save us. The projects we produce are designed to bring glory to God and help readers plunge deeper into Scripture regardless of their age or spiritual maturity level. We hope that the books you read and drawings you see from PGK will draw you into the Word and closer to the God who gave it.
