Our Dealing with Divorce ministry seeks to provide care for individuals who are going through or have been through divorce and who are looking for practical help from the Bible and the warm encouragement of others in similar situations. The care group is also open to those who would like to help a friend or family member who is going through divorce.

Each fall we run a 7-week session on Thursday evenings that features a large group teaching time followed by a small group, facilitated discussion time. Materials and childcare are provided at no cost. The dates this year are October 10-November 21.

As we think about re-opening our Children's Ministry, we ask volunteers who served in 2019-20 (pre-COVID) and anyone interested in serving when we re-open to complete this registration. 

All men are invited to join our weekly Bible Studies on Colossians and Philemon. Join however you are most comfortable: in-person or through an online study group.

Men's Meetings:

• Monday, 7-9pm in the Auditorium
• Thursday, 6:30-7:30am in the Venue
• Online Study Group

All in-person groups will meet and then will then break into small groups for discussion, prayer, and fellowship. Please register ahead of time so we can get an idea how many small groups to be prepared for this semester. Cost is $10 for the study and an additional $5 if you would like a notebook.

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.

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.

Small Groups are designed to high school students an opportunity to grow in their relationships with both Jesus and their peers. Together with an adult leader, students will explore the Bible and talk about how it applies to everyday life. Each group will have a slightly different feel, but all of them will include the following components:

• Bible study
• Discussion
• Prayer
• Relationship building
• Accountability

The groups will meet on the first Thursday of every month at a local home from September through June. Groups are split according to gender and grade. Specific group information will be emailed to you after registering.

Before registering, parents and students please talk through the following expectations:

• You must regularly attend Small Group
• Arrive on time
• Come prepared to participate
• Have your lesson completed
• Let your leader know when you can't attend
• Respect the house in which your group meets

The cost of the materials for small groups is $10, paid at the first meeting.

You must register for a group this year even if you have participated in Small Groups previously.

Middle School Student Impact meets on Tuesday evenings from 7-8:30pm at Parkside Church. Large group gatherings meet in the Commons and small groups meet in the Lower Level Commons classrooms. Sign up here so we know you are coming!
