Basics Conference Volunteers
What began nearly 20 years ago with around 100 pastors is now a conference that brings over 1,500 men from all over the world to Chagrin Falls, Ohio, and Parkside Church. Basics is a three-day conference for pastors and Christian workers with the goal to refresh and encourage men amid the challenges of full-time ministry, and equip them to do the basics of Christian ministry well. After a two-year hiatus, Basics is back this year, May 2-4.
Parkside Hospitality
When asked what draws the men to this specific conference, they list three things: 1. the solid biblical preaching; 2. the camaraderie of other men in ministry; and 3. the hospitality they receive from the Parkside Church family. Whether you’ve prayed, served food, set up rooms, or hosted attendees, your help in years past has made our church a welcoming place to the thousands of pastors who have attended Basics.
