About the Park Center
The Fran Park Center for Faith and Life develops innovative educational opportunities for people across generations, life circumstances, political convictions, and theological backgrounds.
Designed for both lay enrichment and professional development, the Park Center incorporates experiential learning with integrated technologies with strong alignment among its four pillars: Bible, Faith, Dialogue and World.
The Park Center values conversation that is responsible, civil, and challenging, with teaching that is informed and respectful, and learning opportunities that serve the church and community. In this way, the Park Center helps develop leaders for the church and through the church, for the world.
We are incredibly grateful to the Park Center for its dedication to our community and the dedication to dialogue in such troubled times. ~ Janis & Tom Fitch, FPC Supporters
Bible —We help life-long learners encounter the scriptures as they ask important questions today: who is God, what is God doing, and what does that mean for us all?
Faith — We believe that God invites us to gather at a learning table with our predecessors, to reason with our contemporaries, and to piece together what it means to be Christian disciples in thought, word, and deed.
Dialogue — Because reasoned and respectful conversation is an important path to truth, we foster a community of dialogue around important questions of our time.
World — Living between God’s creating love and human freedom, we believe that faith is the best lens for making sense of our perplexing and fascinating world through community engagement and curated pilgrimages.
