Our Core Values

My trip up and down the Great Smoky Mountains.

We are a Church with Good News for Everyone

This is the good news: Jesus loves you and offers an invitation for new life in Him. We have hope because our world belongs to God!

The responsibility as Christ-followers is to bring the good news message to others with both grace and boldness.

We are a Church of Prayer

We value Scripture-fed, Spirit-led, worship-based prayer that builds our relationship with God. Prayer re-orientates and aligns our hearts and minds to God and His good plans for us.

We are a Church of Love

The greatest commandment in the Bible is to “Love the Lord your God with all
your heart, soul and mind. And, love your neighbor as yourself.”

Together, we learn how to love God rightly, and we show that we are Jesus-followers by how we love others. We make it a priority to know one another, support one another, and care for one another.

We are a Church Guided by the Holy Spirit

We diligently seek the presence and gifts of the Spirit, in order to build-up the
church and to minister to others.

The Spirit changes our hearts and helps us to be people of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. This is the "fruit of the Spirit".

We are a Church Welcoming to All

Following the example of Jesus, we strive to be a place of acceptance. The church is for Christ; and Christ is foreveryone.

Every person is made in the image of God and is loved by God. Therefore, we are eager to accept and enfold new people on all different places on their faith journey into our faith community.

We are a Church Guided by God's Word

We are committed to God’s truth found in the Bible. At Park, the Bible is foundational in
our beliefs and teaching. It clearly explains God’s plan of salvation, and is our highest
authority for practice and doctrine.

Our Reformed theological perspective guides how we interpret and apply the Bible in
our modern context.

We are a Church that Gives Back

We want to bless our local community in tangible ways, which includes acts of love, prayer, and care.

The church will equip members for service and provide ministry opportunities to reach out in our community. Our Great Commission from Jesus is to go and make disciples. May we represent Jesus to our world!

We are a Church of Joyful Worship

We regularly participate together in worship where God is praised and people are renewed.

We worship with gratitude and hope because we
believe that God is at work in our world, restoring His creation andmoving us toward a better future.

We are a Church that Supports Children and Youth

We value being an inter-generational church that works together to build up the faith of all ages. We promise to teach children the ways of the Lord.

We invest in the next generation and develop their faith by having them meaningfully involved in the life of the church. We support our local schools and also Christian education.

We are a Church of belonging

We are intentional build a faith community and to create opportunities to spend time together, build trust with one another, and have fun together.

We are a community that values diversity including ethnic, economic, sexual, political
and neurodiversity. Together we are the body of Christ and each part is important. We
find our unity in Jesus, who is the head of the church.

We are a Church that promotes stewardship of God's world

In a busy and hectic world, we slow down to enjoy God and His creation. We find delight in the beauty of God’s world and promotecreation care and good environmental practices.

When Jesus comes again, He will renew the earth and ultimately all things will end in victory and glory, As we wait for that day, we embrace the advent themes of hope, peace, joy and love.

We are a church that builds ministry partnerships  

We seek partnerships with other Christians to advance God’s Kingdom together. We do not only invest in our own church but in God’s work in the world around us. Jesus prays for the unity of the church, so we believe in the importance of
collaboration.
