Our Mission
Helping Wanderers Become Faithful Followers of Jesus
Life is a journey with ups and downs, twists and turns, and a fair number of bumps in the road, but is the path of your life leading you to or away from Jesus? Sadly, many of us are wandering far from God. Here at Parkland, our mission is to help wanderers become faithful followers of Jesus. We accomplish the mission in 4 steps:
Engage to Connect: Every follower of Jesus came to faith because someone engaged them with the good news. Even Jesus engaged with people. We want to connect with wanderers in authentic relationships, just like Jesus did.
Encourage to Commit: Jesus calls all wanderers to repent and believe, to "come and follow Him." We want to encourage everyone to commit to following Jesus.
Equip to Grow: Once we commit to following Jesus, He desires for us to grow to be more like Him. That happens over a lifetime through the practice of spiritual disciplines, community, and ongoing transformation. We seek to equip every follower of Jesus with the tools and practices they need to grow.
Empower to Go: Growing followers of Jesus have a heart for those who are not yet following Him, those who are still wandering. We want to empower everyone to go to those who still have not heard about the good news of Jesus.
