What is a Disciple?

Each year at Park Church, we take several Sundays at the end of summer to rehearse and renew vision for our mission as a church: to make disciples of Jesus for the glory of God and the joy of all people.

This year, we want to clarify what we believe it means to be a “disciple of Jesus”—someone who is learning to be with Jesus and follow His way of life. Over three weeks of Sunday worship and teaching, we’ll discuss what it means to be human, to bear the image of God, to be in union with Jesus and communion with the Father, and to follow Jesus’ way of life in the most practical sense.

Psalm 129

The Psalms give us a vocabulary and a “hymnal” for relating to God through the full range of human experience and emotion, ultimately pointing us to Jesus. This annual series, now in its eleventh year, is called “Christ in the Psalms.”

The Psalms give us a vocabulary and a “hymnal” for relating to God through the full range of human experience and emotion, ultimately pointing us to Jesus. This annual series, now in its eleventh year, is called “Christ in the Psalms.”

Psalm 122

Songs of Ascent

Summer is here, and that means were back into the Psalms. This year, we begin a grouping of Psalms called the “Songs of Ascent”, hymns that would have been sung by the people of God as on their pilgrimage to Jerusalem three times each year.

Why “Christ in the Psalms?” The Psalms give us a vocabulary and a “hymnal” for relating to God through the full range of human experience and emotion, ultimately pointing us to Jesus. This annual series, now in its eleventh year, is called “Christ in the Psalms.”

Easter Sunday 2022

In response to the wonder of Jesus’ resurrection and victory over death and the grave, Easter stands alone as the most joyful, boisterous day we observe each year.

Palm Sunday 2022

Jesus Christ came into this world not first and foremost to redeem from our hard circumstances, but to redeem us from our hard hearts. He is revealed as the triumphant king, but not at all the kind we expected.
