Who's Who?

 

If we're honest, we've all probably had the experience where we think we've just figured out who all the pastors are and what ministries they oversee--and then it changes. Over the past nine months, there have been quite a few changes to the pastoral team, so we thought we'd take a few minutes to catch you up on everything that's new.

Looking for a Bible study?  Mickey Aquilino has one for you.  Mickey oversees the Men's, Women's, Pre-marital ministries, and Parenting ministries.  And if that doesn't keep him busy enough, you might find him playing some jazz music on the piano. 

Ron Klein guides Parkside's Missions efforts, providing support to our missionaries and keeping us all informed about their work. He also works with our Biblical Discipleship training program.

Alistair Begg is the Senior Teaching Pastor at Parkside since 1983.  On Sundays, you'll find him preaching at Parkside.  He sets the strategic vision for Parkside Church.  His teaching is also featured on the radio program Truth For Life.   

Looking for a support group or trying to get involved in the community?  Dan Larison oversees a group of ministries, like a Cancer Support Group or Single Moms Group that might be helpful to you. 

Jonathan Cameron is having flashbacks to Middle School. Jon oversees & teaches Club JV, U-Turn, and provides guidance for other aspects of this ministry. Learn more at the middle school website.

Matt McAlvey recently graduated from high school...ministry, that is.  Our pastor of communications and connections, Matt's role is to help you build relationships within Parkside through Life Groups. He also makes sure we're communicating well through the website, flat-screen monitors, bulletin, and ads.

Josh Griswold oversees College Standpoint, TrueLife Singles, and Care ministries. He's always looking for new volunteers for things like the Nursing Home & Homeless ministries, so if you're looking for a place to serve, give him a call.  Find out more about Josh in his conversation with us.

Jeff Mills keeps Parkside moving.  Jeff helps to implement the day-to-day details of Alistair's vision for the church, helps provide direction for new & existing ministries, and assists with the financial management of the budget. His Sunday morning Life Group is a popular place to be at 9:45 on Sundays.

Jonathan Holmes is helping Parkside go green.  One of our Green Campus pastors, Jonathan oversees Children's, Men's, Women's & Counseling ministry. Learn more about Jonathan and his passion for ministry in our interview with him.

Adam Romans is the other member of the Green Team.  Adam 
oversees Student, College, and Young Adult Ministries, along with Missions.  When he has a free minute, Adam can be found spending time with his wife & 2 kids.  Learn more about Adam and his family in his interview with us

Have you heard about a new ministry at Parkside?  Chances are that Scott Kennedy is involved.  Scott works with our Young Adult & Young Families ministries and assists with our Missions efforts.  Swing by the Parkside Transit site to read some of Scott's latest reflections.

Dan Southam serves as our pastor of High School Ministry.  He teaches Student Impact, Student Body, and provides guidance to other areas of the High School and Middle School Youth ministries.  When he's not hanging out with high schoolers, he's helping his fiancée plan their August wedding.
