Vision:

At Parkhill Church, we are developing Spirit-Empowered, Life-Giving relationships that move people closer to Jesus.

One of our deepest needs and desires is to belong, to be connected to community. We are made for community. But community is not the end in and of itself. Healthy community shares joys and sorrows, practices transparency & accountability, celebrates victories & rallies around those who are hurting. While we aren't perfect, we aim to develop a culture of belonging. 

For a follower of Jesus, growth is not optional. Nor does growth happen in a vacuum. Spiritual growth occurs through partnership in three main relationships: God's Word, Spirit, & People. The goal is to be conformed to the image of Jesus. With a community of belonging, we can wrestle with what we believe.

We are all unique in design & function. God has made us on purpose, for a purpose. As we follow Jesus we become like Jesus. Serving is giving. To serve well: we give well & learn to serve from Jesus as God designed us. We desire to empower people to use their God-given abilities & gifts to move people closer to Jesus in our church, community, and world. We use our unique gifts to compassionately serve people in our spheres of influence. To become, we must give & go like Jesus!

Values

We work from Jesus, not for Jesus. Doing for Jesus always flows out of being with Jesus.

Our motivating ethic is love, full of grace and truth.

We want to move people from strangers to neighbors and neighbors to children of God. 

Equipping people through the power of the Holy Spirit to use their unique gifts & abilities for the good of the Church, our community, and the world. 

We want to create wonder & curiosity toward God's Word, Spirit, People, and World.
