How does someone discover who they are?

God’s Word says we exist for more than the here and now, more than making ourselves happy or making the world a better, safer place to live. While these are great things, they will not bring us the deepest satisfaction and fulfillment.

We not only exist for today, but we are created for a full and enjoyable future for all eternity. Understanding and living according to God’s design for our lives is the only thing that will bring true and lasting joy, contentment, meaning, purpose, and motivation.

Why Am I Here?—the second part of our series—is all about finding our purpose as followers of Christ, and uniquely as women.

All women, aged 15 and older, are invited to attend this talk on Feb. 1. Tracy Villers and Trish Coyne will lead this second discussion as we explore God‘s plan for how to live the fullest and most meaningful life possible.

Join us for the second session, Why Am I Here? on February 1, 2020, from 9am-11:30am in the Venue. Register here to attend. Registration for session 3 will open in the spring.

Session 1:  Who Am I? - October 26, 2019
Session 2:  Why Am I Here? - February 1, 2020
Session 3:  Then How Should I Live? - March 21, 2020

In an effort to increase security for children, Parkside Church utilizes a digital check-in system.  The digital check-in system requires that every child (birth-5^th grade) be registered in order to enter any children’s ministry activity.

Thank you for your interest in serving in Children's Ministry!

Please note: In order to serve with children, volunteers must be members or in regular attendance for a minimum of six months.

If you've got the ability to "ham it up" on stage and can memorize lines, we'd love to have you audition for our 2020 VBC skit team!

Please fill out your membership application AFTER you have completed all 3 membership classes. 

Husbands and wives must each fill out a separate application, but please turn them in at the same time so we may process your membership requests together.

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.
