Share Our
Mission
The
mission of Parkside Lutheran Church is to carry
forward the spirit of Christ. His wisdom and commands are the
guidelines that govern our daily efforts. His love, grace and eternal
life are our rewards. Being nurtured by his gifts, we are
then
empowered to share these gifts with others.
Our
Worship
Our worship is
structured according to the church's
ancient pattern of
inviting God's baptized people to gather to hear God's Word, to share
God's meal of Holy Communion and to be sent out into the world to share
the good news of God's love with others.
Our
Community
Our community life is
anchored in worship, strengthened
by
educational and fellowship activities, and expressed through ministries
of love within and beyond the congregation. The good news about Jesus
is at the center of who we are and what we do.
