What We Want For Parkside Chapel

Many churches offer a vibrant worship experience, which is then followed by a watered-down, soft presentation of the gospel. Or conversely, have worship that is shallow, flat with seemingly no experiential value, but offers a strong theologically sound, gospel-centered message. There are seemingly very few churches that offer both a powerful worship experience and a strong gospel-centered message that challenges us and causes us to grow in our faith. We believe we should strive to have both.

About Us

Parkside is a part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance denomination which is also referred to as The Alliance. Around the world, The Alliance family celebrates Jesus. As one of our own says, "There is no heart He cannot reach, no wound He cannot heal, no bondage He cannot break…" Jesus said He came for the sick, not the well (Mark 2:17), and we've experienced His divine restoration. That's why we're passionate to take His good news—in word and deed—to those desperate for hope in every segment of our broken world. The heartbeat of Parkside, along with the rest of the CMA, is to be an equipping and mobilizing church that brings the transforming love of Jesus intentionally and relationally to all.
