To be a welcoming and caring faith community where lives are transformed through the love of Jesus.
In a church that transforms lives, the saving message of the Bible is boldly proclaimed. The Bible is God’s Word – His primary way of communicating to us. At Park, the Bible is foundational in all that we do. We believe that faith comes through the hearing of God’s Word.
A welcoming and caring faith community where lives are being transformed through the love of Jesus.
God calls us to a new path of love that will be attractive to others. We are light and salt as we act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God. We value authenticity and do not pretend to be something on the outside that we are not on the inside.
In a church that transforms lives, we need the guidance of the Spirit, the fruit of the Spirit, and the gifts of the Spirit. All Christians receive the Holy Spirit; but Scripture also teaches that believers need to be continually filled with the Spirit, and we are warned not to quench the work of the Spirit in our lives.

At Park, we make it a priority to know one another, love one another and support one another as a family in Christ. We value a grace-based community of truth, unity and acceptance where we can share our lives and faith stories. We are committed to learning better practices to love others, including how to engage in healthy conflict.
Each part of the body of Christ is needed and has a place to serve. Attenders faithfully give back to the church with their resources, their time, their gifts and their feedback.
We regularly participate in celebrative, joy-filled worship where God is praised and worshipers are renewed in heart and mind. Our worship will be passionate, grateful and dynamic as we come into the presence of our triune God. In worship, we are not passive spectators but active participants in this dialogue between God and ourselves.
We teach our children and youth the ways of the Lord. We invest in the next generation and develop new leaders by having them meaningfully involved in the life and ministry of the church. The church comes alongside the family in the teaching and nurturing of our children. Park Church also has a long history of encouraging and supporting Christian Education.
In a church that transforms lives, we prioritize authentic relationships that draw people closer to Jesus. We equip the congregation to be disciples who make disciples. We will look for the people who need us and pursue relational opportunities God brings to us. We mentor those who are seeking spiritual growth.
At Park, we slow down our pace to be with Jesus, and this is the source from which our activity flows. We trust God to be at work even when we are not. In creation, God established a rhythm of rest so that we can operate at our best as we enjoy God and His world. We want to intentionally build some margin in our lives so that when God calls we have the energy and time to obey.
In a church that transforms lives, we seek partnerships with other Christians and organizations to advance God’s kingdom. We do not only invest in our own church, but we also engage with God’s work around us through our gifts of time, talent and treasure. We are a part of the Christian Reformed denomination, which shapes our identity and ministries.
