Sunday school

All of our Sunday School classes teach a unified curriculum, so every member of the family is learning about the same passage of the Bible, in an age-appropriate way. They meet from 9-10 am before our worship service.

If you have any questions about our Sunday School groups, please email rob@parkside.org.

Bible Institute

Belief in the gospel has completely altered the way they live out their faith, endure hardship, and look forward to the return of Christ! We hope you’ll join us for men’s and women’s Bible study in these incredibly relevant books this August. Don’t forget to invite a friend to come study with you!

Book cost: $10

Dates for study:

Pathways to Maturity

Pathways to Maturity

Pathways to Maturity (PTM) classes are 2-4 week seminar style classes covering various topics to help students grow in maturity in faith. These classes are designed to equip disciples to apply Scripture in all aspects of life. Each spring and late fall a new round of PTM classes are offered. Courses are held on Sunday evenings, from 6:00-7:30pm. Age-appropriate discipleship programming for the entire family takes place on Sunday nights with Youth Group for 6th–12th graders and The Vine for children. Reach out to Emily Cook with any questions.

Current Classes

Raising Arrows – Gospel Centered Parenting (Ken Whitehead & Gary Buck)

Parenting is one of the most important — and most humbling — things any of us will ever do. Whether your children are toddlers or teenagers, whether faith is central to your life or you’re just starting to explore it, this class is for you. Over two sessions, we’ll explore what the Bible says about parenting, draw on wisdom from leading thinkers and practitioners, and have real conversations with other parents about the challenges and joys of raising kids in today’s world. This is not a class of perfect answers or lecture-only content. It’s a conversation — practical, honest, and rooted in the conviction that parenting done well changes everything.

Christianity 101: How to Read the Bible (Pastor Rob & Pastor Jake)

God has given us his Word, and through it has revealed himself to us and the generations that have gone before us. But for some of us the Bible feels like an ancient text that’s difficult to understand. In this class we will look into some practical tools to help with personal Bible study and share testimony of how God’s Word has shaped people over time.”

The Image of God in the Age of AI (Pastor Scott & Pastor Justin)

What does it mean to be human in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence? This class explores the biblical doctrine of humanity as those created in the image of God, called to meaningful work and stewardship. We’ll consider how these truths shape the way Christians understand human dignity, creativity, vocation, technology, and the growing presence of AI in our lives and work.”

Each class is two weeks and will be offered twice this session.

Dates:
November 8 & 15
December 6 & 13

Grace Marriage

Registration for 2026-2027 is closed

Session 1: Aug 15, Nov 14, Feb 6, May 1
Session 2: Aug 22, Nov 21, Feb 20, May 8

Reach out to Pastor Jake with any questions.

If interested in observing a session of Grace Marriage, contact Pastor Jake.

Grace Marriage is marriage coaching, and is an intentional and proactive approach to re-focus on positives in your relationship. Marriage coaching is not a lecture. It is not marriage counseling or group therapy. It is not a seminar or conference. And finally, it is not a place where you will be forced to share your deepest secrets. Put simply, it is a Biblically-based marriage maintenance model that can revolutionize your relationship.

FAQs

Who can attend?

Any married couple may attend. A couple does not have to be a member of our church to participate.

What will it cost?

What does a normal date night cost if you go out to eat and see a movie, or if you go to a ballgame or concert? $75? $100? More? The cost for four sessions (a full year), including all materials, snacks, etc. is just $189 per couple for the year. That is less than $1 a day for a year. We encourage you to consider your participation fee as an investment in your marriage. What a great Christmas, birthday, or anniversary gift.

If financial assistance is needed, we would love to help. Contact Pastor Jake to inquire about scholarship availability

When are sessions held?

2026-2027 dates can be found above. Sessions will be held in The Fellowship Center from 3pm – 8:30pm. Your meal and snacks are included. Participation requires making a commitment to attend all four sessions. If interested in observing a session of Grace Marriage, please contact Pastor Jake.

Find out more about Grace Marriage.

Who will we be with?

You will be in a group with your spouse as well as other couples who want their marriage to grow. A dozen other couples, plus a trained facilitator couple, will walk through the day’s material together. Spouses will have personal time together throughout the day to privately discuss the topics addressed. Groups will have mixed ages. Newly marrieds as well as couples who have been married for decades will be involved. Grace Marriage is more about spending time with your spouse, not about being with close friends. Although you will get to know others in your group better, the purpose is to spend time with your husband/wife and focus on your marriage.

What about childcare?

Grace Marriage sessions last around 6 hours. That is a long time for children to be at the church building, even if they have activities. We believe that most children would be happier in their own home or with family/friends they know. We also want to give couples freedom to focus on each other without feeling the need to check on the kids if they are just down the hallway. For these reasons childcare will not be offered. Consider the coaching days as an extended date – time for just the two of you.

How do we sign up?

Registration for Grace Marriage is twofold:

1. Click here to register you and your spouse on the Hub for Grace Marriage 2026-2027.

2. All couples ALSO need to pay and register through the Grace Marriage website.

How do we pay?

You may pay online when you register through the Grace Marriage website. A non-refundable fee of $189 is due upon registering through the Grace Marriage website. This fee includes materials for all 4 sessions.

Is there a deadline?

Yes! Register and pay through the Grace Marriage website and register on the Hub by August 2nd, 2026 in order to receive the materials and participate. Reach out to Pastor Jake with any questions
