2024-2025 Bible Studies

We invite you to participate in our Bible Study this fall, Shadows of Jesus: How the Old Testament Points Forward to Christ. Together we'll be exploring how the individuals, offices, events, and institutions of the Old Testament point us toward the person and work of Jesus Christ. Throughout the year we'll study the various Old Testament types and shadows of Jesus that help us to better understand who he is and what he has done for us.

Serve with Children's Ministry

Two of the core blocks that make up a Christ-centered children’s ministry are the Word of God and the people who serve.

Serve with Faithful Friends

Every Sunday at Parkside, our Faithful Friends classes meet to serve those with special needs. A typical class includes a time of structured play, singing, teaching through a Bible story, and then free time. In 1992, when we began our Special Needs Ministry, we couldn’t have imagined how the Lord would grow it through the years, and today, we are able to serve over 30 families in three different classes: Faithful Friends Jr., Faithful Friends Teens, and Faithful Friends Adults.

Our volunteers, who serve Sunday by Sunday—some since the very beginning—are the hands and feet of this ministry. Often, they are needed to work one-on-one with participants. They are the first to say that although this ministry has unique challenges, the blessings of working with children, teens, and adults with special needs are numerous. For parents, who can attend worship and know that their children are in a safe and fun environment, our Faithful Friends ministry supplies an essential and reliable part to their Sunday routine.

As our participants have grown, we are again looking for all age level volunteers—teens through adults—to help us! If you're looking for a place at Parkside where you can use your time, gifts, and abilities to bless others, we invite you to consider joining the Faithful Friends volunteers.

We are praying for 8-10 new workers to serve every other week on Sunday mornings, in any of our Faithful Friends Jr., Teen, or Adult classes. Will you join us?
