There is no better way to lead people into the life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ than through launching new churches.
For years Parkside has been very involved in establishing and supporting churches all around the world. Our sense of mission is one of the strongest attributes of this group of Christ-followers. We fully plan to continue in that heritage as we think and act on what God is doing globally in new churches. For more information about our global involvement, visit our mission page.
However, the leadership team at Parkside has recently discerned that God is calling us to adopt a multi-site strategy here in Cincinnati to continue our mission of leading people into a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. As a multi-site church, we will launch different campuses in our area that will all share the same values and leadership team but will be tailored specifically to the demographic of that area demographic that we cannot likely reach here at the Anderson Campus.
One such area where Parkside has been involved for many years stretches along the Ohio River just east of downtown. This is one of the oldest inhabited areas of Cincinnati and includes the neighborhoods of East End, Columbia Tusculum and Linwood. In the heart of this area, Parkside has operated an Outreach Center that has met the needs of a particular segment of the population for over twenty years. During this same period we've seen the makeup of the community change greatly and are convinced that to adapt to those changes our first new campus will be located here.
There are still many details to work out, but some steps have already been made. George Frank has been hired as our first campus minister and LifeGroups presently meet in the area. The people in these groups and your prayers set the foundations for this new campus and Parkside's multi-site future. We would love for you to be involved. Visit the contact page and email George if you would like to join a LifeGroup or add your name to the prayer team and receive email updates.
