The Connection Ministry at Parkside Christian Church exists to focus on our PCC Strategy:

• Connect People through environments that produce authentic relationships with Jesus and others.
• Grow Spiritually by intentional steps on a life-long journey towards Christ-likeness.
• Engage Our World with genuine compassion and meaningful service that honors Jesus.

Our role is to help people connect with each other, and ultimately with God.  We want people to discover their significant design by God and experience an authentic relationship with Him and with others.

People matter to God.  We want all people who experience Parkside Christian Church to feel special and valued.  Our desire is to make those who may be uncomfortable with the idea of church, comfortable.  We also hope to make those who are too comfortable with church, uncomfortable.  It is important for us to communicate that we do not attend church but that we are the church.  Being a Christ-follower is not a Sunday event you attend; it is a life-style you live by faith.

We want our Connection Ministries to create the atmosphere as expressed in Jesus’ invitation to grace-filled community in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”  We also want to encourage and equip people to grow spiritually and engage our world for Jesus.  Jesus’ final words were a challenge to his followers to go into the world and engage more people to become Christ followers (Matthew 28:18-20).
