Our Values
We strive to create a safe community where faith can be explored.
We believe discipleship happens best in relationships. Involvement in a Parkside small group or Sunday School class provides the best opportunity for us to be actively engaged in one another’s lives. These groups meet on Sunday and throughout the week. The Connect section has more information about small groups and Sunday School class.

Statement of Faith
- We believe in one God, the maker of heaven and earth: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as revealed in the Holy Bible and made known in Jesus Christ our Lord;
- We believe that Jesus the divine Son became human, was born of a virgin, ministered in word and miracle, died for our sin, was raised bodily from the dead, ascended to God’s right hand and is coming again for His people;
- We believe that the Holy Spirit is presently ministering through the Christian community, empowering lives of godliness and service;
- We believe that the Holy Bible is completely God breathed, true in all its teaching, and the final authority for all matters of faith and practice;
- We believe that Jesus Christ established His church on earth to carry out His saving mission among all ethnic groups and formed her to be one holy people;
- We believe in God’s saving grace that calls forth from all people: faith, repentance, confession, baptism, and new life and ministry through the Spirit; and
- We commit ourselves to the teachings, practice and defense of these truths until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Guiding Principles
Our church’s overarching purpose is the fulfillment of Christ’s Great Commission (Matt. 28:18-20).
This purpose is rooted in three key Bible teachings:
- That we are all broken and in need of God’s grace.
- That Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection makes it possible for us to receive God’s salvation and to worship in ways that reflect His beauty, grace, power, and purpose.
- That Christ’s Commission to make disciples (evangelism) and to mature disciples (discipleship) is our most important collective calling.
