About Us
Our hope is to build relationships so that we might have the privilege of being part of each child's spiritual journey, as they become a devoted follower of Christ. We believe a child’s spiritual growth begins at birth so that as your child grows, his knowledge of biblical truths deepens.
Your child’s faith experience begins the minute they enter Parkside. It’s exciting and fun. The children’s ministry will team up with you in reaching, teaching, and building children of real faith and character that lasts. We also offer tools to equip you as the primary spiritual leader in the home. As a parent/guardian, you will have the opportunity to participate in Sunday School and worship knowing that your child is being taught the Bible and is well cared for.

The Parent Roundtable is a supportive and collaborative space where Christian parents gather to learn from each other. It offers a non-judgmental place for open discussions about raising children in line with Biblical values. The desire is for parents build relationships, share advice, and discover practical strategies for nurturing their children's well-being.
