We welcome people of all ages, shapes, ethnicity and backgrounds. At Parklands, community and family is at the heart of all we do, and we hope you feel wanted and loved as soon as you walk through the door.

Kids and Youth are an invaluable part of our family.

Have any questions? Check out some FAQs here.

WORSHIP

We are passionate about worship and making it relevant and accessible to all. Playing a mix of old and new the worship team tend to use contemporary songs and music to help us all engage with God.

PRAYER

Prayer is at the heart of all we do. During the service there may be times to pray altogether, to respond to the talk, or a chance to receive prayer from a member of our team. This will never be forced on you, and we will always explain any ministry times that may happen.

TEACHING

We love the Bible and believe it brings colour and life to our lives. Each week we have a 25-30 minute talk that helps us unpack the Bible and how it’s teachings apply to our every day lives.

TEA, COFFEE AND CHAT

After our  service we invite you all to stay behind for some refreshments as we spend time chatting and getting to know each other. For those joining online, a virtual coffee and chat is available.

LIVESTREAM

We know there are many who would love to join us on a Sunday but are unable to due to illness, distance, work and other factors and we’d still love to resource you and stay connected as family. We livestream our 11.15am service each Sunday and they stay on our YouTube channel so that you can watch them when it suits you.
