THANKS FOR CONSIDERING A VISIT!
To help visitors understand how we gather as a church, we have provided descriptions of each of our weekly services. Generally, our services are characterized by solemn contemplation of the Bible and its doctrines, passionate corporate singing, and friendly interaction with one another and our guests. After you get a taste for our church by our words, please come see us live them out as we gather together to praise our God.

SUNDAY MORNINGS
PROFILE
Age-wise, we are mixed. We have young families, widows, college students and empty-nesters. Sunday morning attendance is between 350 and 400 people. Dress trends toward business-casual, though you can find anything from jeans to suits. People are friendly and want to make sure visitors feel welcomed.
BEGINNING
On Sunday morning at 9:15am we come together for an hour of Sunday School classes, in which we learn about God’s Word and its application to all areas of life. Following that, we begin our Sunday morning service at 10:30am.
MUSIC
The music we sing at Park is a blend of old and new. We love the doctrinally rich hymns of the sixteenth century and we find blessing in the choruses of the twenty-first. Most of us who are comfortable with music from one particular era have discovered, while at Park, that we have come to enjoy other songs we had not previously encountered. We strongly prefer congregational singing, which emphasizes the gathered body singing praise to God with one voice. We do also have special songs giving the congregation an opportunity to praise God through reflecting on the songs sung by various members of the congregation and choir.
BODY OF SERVICE
Our service formally begins at 10:30am, where we sing congregational songs, hear God’s Word read and preached, give and spend time in corporate prayer lead by one of our deacons and pastors.
SERMONS
Preaching at Park is generally expositional, meaning that it seeks to declare the point of a particular Biblical passage. Sermons usually last around 35-40 minutes and are packed with material for reflection. On a regular basis, our sermon series alternate between the Old and New Testaments. All preaching is driven by the Gospel, the Bible’s main message of God saving sinners through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
SUNDAY EVENINGS- 2nd & 4th Sundays
Our evening service is more informal and has more of a family-atmosphere. We begin at 6pm with congregational singing, followed by announcements and a time of meditation on the Word. Sermons may be through a book of the Bible from the opposite Testament preached in the morning, a topical series or a passage related to the morning message. We sometime also incorporate panel discussions and teachings as well as times for testimony and prayer. For our children on Sunday evenings, we have a nursery for Birth-2 year olds and three levels of Children’s Choir: A preschool choir for ages 3-5, a Kindergarten-1st Grade Choir and a 2nd-5th Grade Choir.
WEDNESDAY EVENINGS
We meet at 6:30 for a time of corporate prayer where we lift of up the physical and spiritual needs of the church family. After a time of prayer, there is a 20 minute message from the Bible. We have classes for children birth through high school. There are several families that meet earlier for dinner at 5 pm in the Christian Activities Building. All are welcome.
