A Word from the Elders

As we look back on our year together striving for the gospel here at Parkside, one word should continually return to our minds: Thankfulness. We have much to be thankful for as we consider God’s goodness to us in this past year.

We have enjoyed the continued blessings of faithful preaching and teaching from God’s word. We have seen our physical needs not only met but exceeded through your generous provision of time and resources. This is exemplified by the expansion of our facilities to meet the needs of the next generation, beginning with the new Children’s Wing. We also continue to focus our energies on training and building up tomorrow’s leaders through our Pastor’s Conference, Pastoral Intern, and ESI programs. The unity and development of our leadership team of pastors and lay elders is no small blessing for which we are also thankful.

The ministry at our regional locations at Green and Lake County continues to expand, presenting significant future opportunities. We also continue our outreach around the globe through many short and long term missions endeavors. A full 22% of our annual budget is dedicated to these key opportunities to spread the gospel. The financial report which is available to you provides more detail on all of these matters.

Foundational to all of this activity has been our continued commitment to see unbelieving people become committed followers of Jesus Christ. For this we can be truly thankful, that through all of the turns of our days, by God’s grace our mission remains focused on proclaiming the Good News and establishing and building up believers. For the rest of the elders, I thank you for your partnership, and commend you to join us as together we seek to glorify Christ in all we do.
