After a rough period, and even closing the doors for five years, the church had a rebirth in 1923. It reopened with a renewed focus and experienced years of growth, including building a new building, even without a long-term pastor.  

Then in 1959, Don Tyler was called as the pastor of the church. Under his leadership it began to see an even greater increase in evangelism and discipleship. A bus ministry began in 1961, and the church assisted in planting a new church on North High School Road in Indianapolis in 1964.

New and creative ways to spread the Gospel began. We sent out our first foreign missionary, Diane Kerstetter in 1972. Bethesda Christian Schools opened in 1974, and the Living Christmas Tree began in 1979.

In 1987, the church began to focus on planting new churches throughout the Indianapolis area. Over the next decade we oversaw the planting of or came alongside to help support the existence of 11 churches.

A clothing and food pantry, now known as The Storehouse, began serving our community through the church. This ministry concluded in Spring of 2023 and is no longer operating.

The foreign missions program at the church began to implement a targeted focus of church planting and assistance in three countries - Brazil, India, and Germany.

Back to Bethlehem began as an opportunity for families from the community to experience the first Christmas and hear the good news of Jesus Christ.

Northwest Community Park opened as a gift to the community with a fishing pond, walking trail, and 18-hole disc golf course.

The church became known as Parkside Bible Church, with a renewed commitment to the Gospel and a focus on serving the community.
