Our mission at The Park is to create environments for people to grow in their passion for God, compassion for people, and wisdom in everyday decisions.
One of the main ways we are doing this is through parish churches that meet in neighborhoods throughout the city. These churches are a collection of missional communities of families, friends and neighbors who meet together during the week and ‘do life together’. As our church grows and our team grows, we’ve increasingly found ourselves with the need for a central hub to meet throughout the week. Through a generous gift, we have an opportunity to create such a space at 708 W. Summit in the heart of Midtown.
But true to our call to mission we want for this to be a place invested in the renewal of people and our city — where we come together but also go out. So over the past several months we have been developing a vision for a space in Midtown — where our values of sending, presence, sacrifice and renewal are deepened in our community and extended even more into our neighborhoods, city and world. A space to work, gather and engage the community.
