[ABOUT US]
Park Street Church is a family-friendly community of faith, offering a vibrant ministry to children, youth and parents. God has created the institution of the family as a means to help us understand the intimate relationship that exists between our heavenly Father and his children and between brothers and sisters in Christ. Thus, we strive to be a church that actively supports families because it honors God, it upholds his creative order and it offers us the ability to understand more deeply his love for his people.
