Volunteering
Volunteering is synonymous with getting connected at Park, be it serving here in the church or with one of our ministry partners in Chicago. Each one of us is designed to serve within the body of Christ in a unique way… so at Park, our desire is for you to discover your God-given gifts, talents and abilities, then use those to make a difference. Regardless of your age or interests, we value you and what you have to offer.

There are countless opportunities to volunteer at Park either in the church or in the city.  The best way to get started is to contact Jen Cousino with either ideas that you have of where you would like to volunteer, or if you would like suggestions on what ministries might be the best fit for you. If you are not sure where you would like to volunteer, please fill out this Volunteer Application first and then email it to jcousino@parkcommunitychurch.org.
