Parkdale Church of Christ is a community of faith. In other words, we are a
group of people who come together because we are followers of Jesus, and because
we like a relaxed style of worship and church governance, believing it to be
similar to the practices of first-century Christians while at the same time
meeting twenty-first century needs. We meet in a chapel, but the 'Church' is our
people, those who are called out by God and choose to be followers of Jesus. We
seek to put our faith into practice, to travel the journey of faith and
experience God's presence in our lives every day, as we relate to other
people.
Everyone is welcome at our services, which have a relatively informal style. We
do not use a prescribed form of service, though we do have a regular order of
doing things most weeks, and it causes considerable confusion when we change it! Any person who believes in and accepts Jesus as their personal Lord and Saviour is welcome to participate in
the Lord's Supper (Holy Communion) regardless of denominational affiliation. Leadership in services is open to all members, and we call women as well as men into ministry. Children are most welcome at our
morning service; we have an area for those who like to make a lot of noise (and
why shouldn't they?), and we have a Sunday School which operates during the
latter part of the morning service.
We also have a variety of meetings, which are described elsewhere on this
website. Some of these are practical, some study-oriented, others devotional and
prayer-oriented.
Our chapel is fitted with a hearing aid loop to assist those who are hard of
hearing.
Our services are recorded, and are available on audio CD for those who wish
to review the message or to pass on to others.
