Parkside Church is made up of people just like you. People, from every walk of life, experience ups & downs throughout that life and believe life is easier if we walk alongside each other. The one thing we share in common is a desire to follow Jesus Christ. We strive to make Jesus relevant in all of our lives; to follow Jesus in ways that we can actually apply to our daily lives. In short, we do everything we can to make faith in Jesus practical.

We know that attending a church service or a small group can sometimes be an uncomfortable experience, especially if you don't know anyone. Knowing that we want you to come…just as you are. Dress in clothes that you're comfortable with—jeans, T-shirts, dress slacks, dresses, whatever—it’s not about impression but rather expression. We gather as an expression of joy for the great things Jesus has done. We are absolutely convinced that when we gather in the name of Jesus, great things happen!

The mission of Parkside Church is: “We Love. We Make Disciples…Who Make Disciples.” It is clear and simple, not a lot of words are needed. We want to become a compelling community of love in Carver County and beyond. We desire to genuinely live out and make known the love and favor of Jesus Christ through life-giving relationships and community.

These are our Core Values that drive all that we do at Parkside.

• Encountering Jesus through Worship

• Expanding the Kingdom through Evangelism

• Embracing Wholehearted Obedience through Disciple-Making

• Expecting Answered Prayer

• Engaging Life-Giving Community through Fellowship

• Extravagant Generosity through Stewardship

• We believe that Jesus is our Savior, God incarnate. He came in human form to sacrifice Himself, once and for all, so that we might not perish but have eternal life.

• We believe that God the Father gave us His word, without error, through the Bible and we have a direct line to Him through prayer.

• We believe that the Holy Spirit lives within us and enables us to live a life of joy, purpose, and power.

• We believe that the church is not something to go to but rather be a part of; not something to be used as consumers but invested in to impact the world around us.

The Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) is a worldwide organization of over 6 million Jesus followers who desire to spread the Good News of salvation throughout the world. The essence of its calling is summed up in a single word: Love - to show the love of God Himself to a needy and broken world.

We at Parkside, in cooperation with the Alliance, desire that all people, living in every corner of the world would know Jesus Christ as their Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King and to complete His Great Commission.
