Purpose:
The purpose of the Family Life Ministry is to strengthen
the relationships in the individual families and
the entire church family at Parkside by providing opportunities
for service and social activities. We want to nurture
existing relationships, to develop new friendships,
to provide opportunities that allow Christian families
to serve and play together as a unit, and to reach out
to the community in service to Christ.
Organizational Structure:
Family Life is an all encompassing ministry that addresses
all members of all ages and stages of life. Within that
umbrella, individual ministries to specific groups will
operate independently to address the unique needs and
interests of those groups. Specific groups include the
seniors, in-betweeners, young married, singles, college
age, high school, junior high, and children. No one
will be excluded from participating in any activity
to allow the “young at heart” to participate
and mentor younger members.
Some activities will be designed for the entire church
to participate. These whole church activities will occur
2 times a year and will include the all-church picnic
and the fall retreat.
Calender of Events for Young
Families:
We will seek to provide a structured activity each month
with a mixture of pure social activities and service
activities. Ideally, we want activities that allow us
as a group to provide a service so that the entire family
can participate. We want our children to see Christ-like
service in action that is both meaningful and fun.
