An Update from Missionaries Bobby and Julie

It has been just over a month since we arrived in Central Asia. While we greatly desire to communicate more with the family of God for the sake of your prayers, it has been hard to keep up with so much happening. We have many things to give thanks for and many prayer requests.

Fall 2022 Care and Support Groups

Parkside’s support groups are designed to provide a place to process difficult situations with a community of people and offer sound biblical teaching as you face these challenges. Most of our support groups are open to both Parkside and the public, and all groups are free of charge. 

We invite you to find a group that matches your unique circumstances, and join us as we learn, grow, and encourage one another.
