Women at Park exists to equip women to pursue God, grow in biblical literacy, and flourish in their faith in Jesus. We strive gracefully to invest in building relationships and authentic community with one another. We are committed to creating a safe place to learn and grow, to bravely share our stories, and share in each other’s struggles, hopes, desires, disappointments, failures, and victories. Together, we encourage one another to become more like Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, drawing our strength and identity from Him, and sharing the love of Jesus in all of our areas of influence.
