Parkway's Purpose

The best way to communicate Parkway’s purpose is to begin with, "Why are we here?". 

“We exist to glorify God (1 Cor. 10:31) and to enjoy him forever (Ps. 73:25-26).”

HOW DO WE DO THAT?

We live our lives in light of what the Apostle Paul calls the “gospel of God” (Rom. 1:1). The gospel is God’s message of redemption and reconciliation of people unto Himself. It is called “good news” because God has chosen to redeem us, not because of our good works, but because of the substitutionary life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus took our sin upon himself and
gave us his perfect righteousness!

Therefore, God has declared those who receive Christ as Savior righteous! A gospel-centered life offers freedom from the brokenness of this world and security that comes from being a child of God. The gospel-centered life brings God glory and gives us enjoyment in him forever.

WHAT IS THE OUTCOME OF A GOSPEL-CENTERED CHURCH? AT PARKWAY, THIS MEANS three THINGS:

Worship: We worship corporately on Sundays and privately every day of the week.

Connection: We are committed to growing deeper in our spiritual knowledge and our relationship with God and one another. Weekly Bible studies, home groups, and serving one another in love and grace are opportunities for growth. We know that we are formed by the relationships in which we invest.

Service: We are not here simply for ourselves. We are called to intentionally give the gospel and ourselves away. We do this through local and international efforts that feed, educate, house, and love on the most needy.
