Church History
Parkside was formed when two longstanding community churches -- Davis Road and Henderson Road -- merged in November 2009. Separately, both churches had sought to bring the Good News to their community for decades. Today, Parkside Baptist Church has established a history committee to detail the beginnings of the two churches and the miraculous actions that consolidated in faith to form the new congregation.
FROM THE DAY PARKSIDE BAPTIST CHURCH EMERGED, IT WAS CLEAR THAT GOD HAD PLANTED GREAT POTENTIAL AND EXPECTED A GREAT RETURN!
During 2009 literally 1000's were praying for Davis Road Baptist Church and Henderson Road Baptist Church as the merger became a reality. The evidence of God's supernatural power was to clear to ignore. I personally had never been a part of anything like what occured during those months leading up to November 2009.
...The events and situations that occurred during the following months were nothing short of amazing to watch. From June 2009 until today (September 2011) it has been my privilege to witness so many things which simply can not be explained outside the power of almighty God. In retrospect, for anyone looking at the history of Henderson Road Baptist Church alongside the history of Davis Road Baptist Church, it will be obvious that God’s providential hand was involved in these two churches joining and becoming one church.
The founding pastors of Henderson Road Baptist Church and Davis Road Baptist Church (Rev. Max Jones and Rev. Chuck King) each started something under the leadership of the Holy Spirit that today has been grafted together under the leadership of that same Holy Spirit.
Today….as 2011 comes to a close....we must remain faithful to what God has planned for our church. This involves being faithful and active within the Lord's will outside the walls of our buildings on a daily basis. I truly stand amazed and humbled in the midst of such a manifestation of the supernatural power of the Lord Jesus Christ. The most exciting thing about all this is that it is just the beginning. We are in a God-given position of being able to say to those that surround us in the Byram area.... "I bring you Peace... I bring you Jesus."
