P.A.R.K. (Praising And Rejoicing Kids)

P.A.R.K. is a ministry consisting of 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. The kids are encouraged to use their talents for the Lord. Through drama, singing, expressive worship, clowning, puppets, mime, human videos, sign language and many other varieties, this is accomplished. Throughout the summer months, P.A.R.K. ministers at local VBS, day camps, Malls, park ministries and anywhere the Lord leads.
The season culminates with a missions trip. During these trips, the children are involved with churches, but the main focus is street ministries, inner-city ministries, and the homeless.

"Follow the Golden Brick Road"

It's Time

The theme for 2006 was, "Something Amazing.".  Based on scripture from the book of Habakkuk.  In verse 1:5, the Lord tells Habakkuk to set back and be amazed at what He is about to do.  God still wants us to watch and see what He is about to do because He wants to do something amazing in each one of our lives.
