Thornton acquired ASW Global, LLC, in January of 2007 after ASW merged with the Cleveland-based company GPI Procurement Services. As the Chief Executive Officer, André sets the direction of the company and directs operational aspects so that they follow the strategic plans and policies of the organization. 

Thornton has twenty years of experience in entrepreneurial ventures. As one of the Principals in Apple Partners, he led a highly successful restaurant management group that was sold to Applebee’s International. André also founded a successful consulting and sports management company and continues to speak nationally on Executive Leadership, Organizational Change, and Diversity.

At Parkside, we believe that church membership is an important aspect of Christian discipleship.  As we join together, we are able to encourage each other in our Christian walks and hold each other accountable.

There are three steps in the membership process at Parkside:

1)  Attend our membership class In these sessions, we discuss what we believe at Parkside and how we operate as a church.Completing the classes does not obligate you to join, so if you want to learn more about Parkside, this is a good way to do that. If you want to join, these classes are required.

2)  Once you’ve completed the Parkside Membership classes, you may fill out the online membership application.

3)  When we receive your application, we’ll contact you to schedule a membership interview with one of our pastors and elders.  This gives us a chance to get to know you a bit, hear how you came to faith in Christ, and for you to ask any additional questions about the church.

After you’ve completed these steps, our elders review and approve the applications. On a regular basis, we welcome new members to our church during a service.

Thank you for your interest in publicly thanking God for the birth of your child during one of our worship services.  Please understand that this application is an initial contact and does not constitute a formal scheduling of the dedication. Baby dedication is open to members or regular attendees (attending for 1 year) and babies should be 12 months or younger. The scheduling will be confirmed after reviewing both this application and our worship schedule. If you have any questions please contact Sandy 440.708.2108 or smansell@parksidechurch.com.

For many, the idea of beginning or changing a career is accompanied by a great deal of uncertainty. I’m just starting out—how will I know the best career for me? I’ve been raising children—how can I get a job without recent outside work experience? I’ve lost my job and have to find something quickly. How is God going to provide when it all looks so overwhelming?

Our situations may look different, but the process behind finding work can be more straightforward than it would first appear. And, you don’t have to navigate it without help. If you’re currently looking for a job (or know someone who is), or, you’re looking to change your career, please join us for our free full-day Career Connections workshop on Saturday, October 5.

We offer biblically-based, practical information on all of the following:

• Choosing the best career for you
• Crafting a great resume & cover letter
• Developing a network of professional contacts
• Finding out about openings & pursuing leads
• Understanding interview dynamics
• Trusting God’s provision during your transition

Check-in and a continental breakfast will begin at 8:00 am. The first session begins at 8:25. Lunch will also be provided. Everything will conclude at 4:30 pm.

Additional, targeted follow-up sessions will be held on weeknights after the workshop.
