Welcome!
Thanks for stopping by to check out our site! As the pastor of Parkway I am constantly reminded of the concept of "family"-- and that family members are not always related by birth but can also come together through shared experiences and beliefs. And as a family we are here to share in each other's joys and happy times as well as each other's troubles and sorrows. Sometimes, we laugh. Sometimes, we cry. Always we love.
Life is a struggle sometimes. We all know that. But we also know that sharing those struggles with others is what makes our life experiences deeper. Helps us understand life as more than just getting by-- and helps us find the deeper meanings to our everyday struggles. At Parkway, through our worship services, study classes, and fellowship and mission activities we find that our struggles aren't unique; that there are others who will walk through life with us, supporting us along the way; and that at the core of life is a God whose love and mercy provide a window into the deeper places of life together.
If you're looking for more from your life than you're currently getting, join us for worship one day. You'll be welcome, no matter who you are, no matter what your circumstance. Because here, you're family.
Peace, Sharon
