The Community We Serve The Fran Park Center for Faith and Life serves Maricopa County, the fourth largest and one of the fastest growing counties in America. Where much of the United States can pull resources from their closest seminary, our immediate regional area has none that aligns with the mainline Protestant traditions.
Throughout history, communities have relied on academic theological institutions, such as seminaries, to provide religious leadership. This model of education, learning and living together in shared and overlapping spaces is not accessible to Arizona. This drought in religious educational leadership leaves the Park Center to serve our local community and beyond.
