School of Theology
Hospitality was central to the mission of the early Church, not simply entertaining friends, but welcoming the stranger and caring for those who could not return the favor. This fall, join us for our bi-annual School of Theology as we explore what it means to practice genuine Christian hospitality in a world marked by loneliness, isolation, and need.
Over four weeks of teaching and discussion, we will dive into Scripture, Church history, and the theology of hospitality alongside Christine Pohl’s classic work, Making Room.

Upcoming Events
Men's Social
Come hang out at Taroko Sports on Thursday, October 8th for a laid-back evening of fellowship and friendly competition. Think you're better at baseball than Reed Kirksey? Taroko has batting cages, batting simulators, and pitching mounds to prove it once and for all. Not into baseball? No worries, you can still demonstrate your masculinity by competing in darts, mini bowling, or other arcade games. On a budget? Entry is free, and they've got big screens, so feel free to just come and hang out and watch some Thursday Night Football with other guys from The Park. Food and drinks are available for purchase. Click here to let us know you'll be joining us.
High School 4th Sunday Social
Join us for our High School 4th Sunday Social at the home of Reed and Diane Kirksey! Dinner and games will be provided, just bring a dessert or drink to share and come ready for fun. Please RSVP using the link in the email sent earlier this week or let Reed Kirksey know if you plan to attend.
Connect
Community at The Park
At The Park, the community doesn’t stop on Sundays; connection continues as we share life together throughout the week. Our communities gather in living rooms, around tables, and on back porches to grow in their faith and follow Jesus side by side. Whether it’s a Bible study, book club, movie night, or something uniquely you, every group carries the same heart: discipleship in everyday life.
There’s a place for you here. Explore current groups and what’s new at theparksa.org/groups. And if you’re considering starting a group of your own, we’d love to help you think through what that could look like, you can reach out to Nancy Gaines at nancy@theparksa.org.
Movie Dudes
Movie Dudes is a low-key, fun way for guys from The Park (and beyond) to connect over a shared love of movies. Once a month, we meet up at Alamo Drafthouse Park North to catch a film, hang out beforehand, and stick around after for casual conversation. It’s a relaxed environment to build friendships, invite friends, and maybe spark deeper conversations along the way. Come for the movie, stay for the community. Join the group here to be added to the group chat.
Romans Bible Study
Looking to go deeper in Scripture this fall? Join us for an in-depth study of Romans using Precepts Bible study materials. This group meet twice a month on the first and third Wednesdays, at the home of Guy and Rebecca Gould in the Thousand Oaks/Henderson Pass area beginning with dinner at 6:00 PM and Bible study from 7:00–8:30 PM. This study is open to everyone, regardless of age, gender, or marital status. No childcare is provided. Contact Guy Gould at ggould210@gmail.com for the address and more information. New faces are always welcome!
Ladies Book Club
LBC is a group of women who are reading a book together a chapter at a time. We meet every Tuesday evening 7:00–9:30 PM to discuss the assigned chapter, eat snacks and talk and before we pray together to end our meeting we share our prayers, praises and confessions as we feel comfortable. We just kicked off this week at Beacon House reading Redeeming Eden but there's still time to join. The study will run for 13 weeks. For more information contact Des Leiloglou at des@theparksa.org.
High School Youth Group
Our High School Youth Group has kicked off with a great group of students! Join us this Sunday from 3:00 to 5:00 PM at the Austin's! It’s going to be a great space to hang out, connect with new friends, and dig into faith together. If your student is interested in joining us, reach out to Nancy Gaines at nancy@theparksa.org to get all the details! We can't wait to see everyone there.
