Parkside Church

Heidi Herman

This church is an awesome, inclusive place full of people who genuinely care about each other and learning about Jesus and how to be a Christian in this world.

I love the heart that this church carries for the city and their neighbors - it reflects Christ's heart in so many ways. Their motto is "Share good news, be good news." That is such a clear call to action that the church members/leadership have been thoughtful in carrying out. They have been innovative in taking a close look at what they do and why they do it - refusing to settle for "well, this is just how we have always done things". Colin in a phenomenal preacher and carries a full heart and strong vision for this church.

Parkside Church is one of the most welcoming and transparent churches I’ve ever been to. The people are authentic and diverse, and the leadership team truly forms relationships with everyone in the community. This church embodies who Christ was and what he wanted us all to be like. If you have been a Christian your whole life, and are looking for somewhere that refreshes how you see the Bible, restores your faith on a deeper level, and doesn’t feel fake, you definitely need to try it out. It is LGBTQ+ affirming and you can absolutely come as you are to this church and be welcomed and included in membership.

Parkside Church is the definition of true Christian community. Not only do they seek to faithfully engage with the scriptures through thoughtful sermons and interactive discussion, they truly desire to serve their community as genuinely and effectively as possible. I never thought I'd find a church that truly practices inclusion while also celebrating diversity and creating space for personal growth and reflection. Though I have needed a long and indefinite break from Sunday worship in order to heal some wounds inflicted by years of spiritual abuse and exploitation, Parkside's leadership has never made me feel unwelcome or guilty for taking the time and space I need to heal personally while communing in a more intimate setting (love my Parkside community group!) I'd give more stars if I could! Definitely a special place and family.
