Christian Maturity

Your hub for all things discipleship.  Join us in growing deeper in faith through meaningful community, transformative study, and authentic relationships.

Who We Are

The Christian Maturity Ministry equips The Park Church to fulfill the Great Commission through teaching, programs, and digital resources that help members grow deeper in their relationship with Christ. We focus on the five functions of the New Testament church—Evangelism, Discipleship, Worship, Fellowship, and Service—providing leadership and support as our congregation matures in faith and glorifies God. Whether you're a new believer or a seasoned disciple, we're here to help you take your next step in following Jesus.

Core Offerings

Our ministry includes Teaching to Make a Difference, Learning & Development, Small Group Pathways, and Digital Discipleship—offering everything from Sunday School and Bible studies to online courses and small group experiences. Whether you're new to faith or ready to lead others, we have programs designed to meet you where you are and help you grow deeper in Christ.

Resources

We've equipped you with tools to grow on your own time and at your own pace. From our Living Faith Library (online courses and digital content) to small group curriculum, Bible reading plans, and leadership training materials, we provide Christ-centered resources that make discipleship accessible and practical. Whether you're studying alone, leading a group, or teaching others, you'll find what you need to mature in your faith and help others do the same.

Learning & Development 

For members who have a passion for supporting and encouraging others to deepen their understanding of God’s word. Those serving in this area desire to use their gifts to assist with the logistics and implementation of church-wide studies and special programs that are offered throughout the year. These can include Sunday School, Bible Journey, Experiencing God and Bible reading plans. 

Teacher Enrichment

Teaching to Make a Difference is for members who have a passion to see others grow in their relationship with God and desire to join God in His formative work. Those who serve in this area of ministry discern Jesus’ call to be His disciple and find joy in making disciples (Matthew 28:14-20). They do so through the teaching of God’s Word (in small or large group settings), training and development of teachers/leaders, and by creating Christ-centered (Kingdom) content and experiences that are conducive for learning and maturing in Christ.

Digital Discipleship

For creatives, communicators and administrators who feel a call to create content that helps others to grow in their relationship with God by effectively disseminating the Gospel message. Through collaborations with Virtual Ministry, those serving in the CM-Digital Discipleship area desire to work alongside others and use their gifts to develop courses for the Living Faith Library (a library of online courses available on the TPC website), podcast content and more!

Small Group Pathways 

For members who have a passion for leading, facilitating and building connections across diverse groups of people to encourage growing in Christ. Those who serve in this area of ministry discern Jesus’ call to be His disciple and find joy in making disciples (Matthew 28:14-20) in small group settings for longer periods of time. If you have the gift of hospitality (as well as those listed below) and feel a call to journey with others using Christian curriculum and a life-group model, this focus area is for you!
