Darkness to Light: A Three-Week Bible Study

Location: Online only
Start Time: Fri 8, May 2020, 6 a.m.
End Time: Fri 22, May 2020, 6 p.m.

Jesus, in the Sermon on the Mount, describes the believer as both salt: a preserving influence in the world against the corruption of sin, and light: offering the hope of Christ to a world shuttered by darkness and unbelief.

Believers may see this description as a task to be undertaken each day, a burdensome responsibility—just one more thing for the Christian to do. However, once we understand that this is who Christ has declared us to be, it reorients our perspective. We are salt; we are light. This isn't another work. It is who we are in Christ. 

Join us for this three-week study as we examine how we should think about our witness to the world, especially in this time when many around us are questioning and searching for truth.

Nursery Workers Needed for 2020

We are currently staffing our 2020 nursery teams who begin serving in January. If you are not serving anywhere at Parkside Church, the nursery ministry is a great “entry place” of service—no advance preparation is required when you serve other than a prayerful and willing heart. If you are a parent who utilizes the nursery, you are asked to serve on a team. Nursery teams serve approximately once every five weeks from January-December. Morning workers serve at two services, usually the 9:45am & 11:15am services, when most young families attend. 

Pastoral Residents Class of 2019-2020

Parkside Church’s Pastoral Resident Class of 2019-2020

“They keep asking me about games to play,” said Hunter. “What else is there other than Dodge Ball?” Robby and Kolby laughed knowing that they all have to take a turn with one of the most challenging demographics in all of church life - Middle Schoolers.

For Parkside’s pastoral residents, Hunter Hanson, Robby Lacey, and Kolby Thomas, no detail is too small to consider when discerning the call to pastoral ministry.

All kidding aside, these three men have embarked on a year-long exploration to learn the day-to-day complexities of life as a pastor. Each resident will spend time shadowing members of Parkside’s pastoral team and will get hands-on experience such as teaching large groups, observing one-on-one counseling sessions, assisting with hospital and benevolence visits, and attending youth events and retreats. Throughout the year, they will get an up close and personal look at church life from the point of view of the pastor.
