Pastoral Residents Class of 2019-2020

Parkside Church’s Pastoral Resident Class of 2019-2020

“They keep asking me about games to play,” said Hunter. “What else is there other than Dodge Ball?” Robby and Kolby laughed knowing that they all have to take a turn with one of the most challenging demographics in all of church life - Middle Schoolers.

For Parkside’s pastoral residents, Hunter Hanson, Robby Lacey, and Kolby Thomas, no detail is too small to consider when discerning the call to pastoral ministry.

All kidding aside, these three men have embarked on a year-long exploration to learn the day-to-day complexities of life as a pastor. Each resident will spend time shadowing members of Parkside’s pastoral team and will get hands-on experience such as teaching large groups, observing one-on-one counseling sessions, assisting with hospital and benevolence visits, and attending youth events and retreats. Throughout the year, they will get an up close and personal look at church life from the point of view of the pastor.

Special Needs Volunteers Needed

Will you consider joining our Special Needs Ministry this year? 
We are praying that God would provide 10 volunteers for our most immediate need in Faithful Friends, Jr. Experience working in special needs is not required, although it is a plus. On-the-job-training is provided. If you are interested in serving, in learning more, or have questions, please contact Julie.

Fall 2019 Bible Studies

All men and women are invited to join our weekly Bible Studies. We meet in The Venue at various times during the week, and this year we will be studying Matthew.

All groups, except for the men's Thursday morning study, will meet for a large group teaching time and then break into small groups for discussion, prayer, and fellowship. You can register online or the first morning you attend study. Cost is $10 for the study and an additional $5 if you would like a notebook.
