Is there something for kids?
On Sunday mornings we provide age appropriate classes for kids under eleven. Qualified leaders provide a safe environment where kids make new friends and learn about God. Please be sure to sign them in and pick them up following the service for safety purposes.

When does the Sunday morning flow look different?
From week to week, really. It’s always a little different, but here are some of the most important

| Food For The Journey |
On the first Sunday of every month (roughly speaking), we pause from our current series to invite Parksiders to share the Lord’s story in their life. We’re back to having potlucks after FFTJ Sundays again, too. If you’re new, don’t worry about bringing anything but yourself. We’d love to have you.

| The Lord’s Supper |
We share the Lord’s Supper/Eucharist/Communion/Sacrament every week of the month. You don’t need to be a member to partake – just someone who is committed to following Jesus Christ.

| Missions Offering |
On the third Sunday of every month we also collect to help the missions we support: YoungLife Cloverdale, Servants Anonymous Society, and the Dot Com Community Church.

| Service Sundays |
In January, May, August, and November we flip things around: instead of a Sunday service, we have a service Sunday. Beginning in 2009, we decided to use the five-week months as an extra chance to serve the community rather than have another gathering time. We’re always looking to add extra times, and if you have an idea of something we could do, contact us.

One of our driving passions at Parkside is our community (the greater Cloverdale area). We’re not just here for ourselves, but for the sake of the community around us. More and more we are discovering God’s heart for our neighbors, and His heart for us to enter into this love-to become living expressions of His compassion and redemptive presence. To this end, we’re regularly looking and praying for ways to walk this out-to bless others as we’ve been blessed, to seek the peace of our city, to care for those in need, and so on… not as a program, but as a new way of living. Come and join us as we seek to follow Christ in love for our little corner of the world and beyond.

One of our convictions at Parkside is that real relationships and growth don’t happen by simply showing up once a week and being another face in the crowd, but by becoming a part of a small community on a shared journey. A shared journey of learning to pay attention to what God is saying and doing, learning how to forgive and ask for forgiveness, learning how to share our burdens while also caring for the burdens of others, learning how to trust God and walk in the Way of Christ. As we commit ourselves to sharing in the journey with others, we believe that Christ will be among us, teaching and transforming us.

And so, along with all that happens on Sunday mornings, we are always seeking to help people take the next step by becoming a part of an intentional discipleship community (housechurch, homegroups, women’s and men’s small groups, etc).

It is through involvement in these small communities within a community that we believe we will best be able to “discover together what life is all about.”
