Park Road Church

Park Road Church A progressive faith community encouraging independent thought, community service, & social justice.

We strive to be a church in the best sense of that word: a community, open to all and gathered to support and care for one another, and a community that is open to the prophetic voice, which challenges individuals and organizations, systems and governments. Park Road Baptist Church (PRBC) expressly welcomes all people, into full membership, participation, and leadership including communion, baptis

ms, ordinations, weddings, and funerals. We are a welcoming and affirming community of faith committed to creating a safe space for LGBTQIA+ members, while encouraging all to live as their authentic selves. PRBC is proud to be one voice among many faith communities in Charlotte that preach a similar message of welcome and inclusion. We celebrate like-minded friends in the Baptist tradition, as well as through our interfaith connections. Additionally PRBC has a longstanding commitment to the ordination of women into all forms of Christian service. Our Denomination Affiliation: In 2003, Park Road decided to adopt multiple affiliations that better represented the diversity of thought, inclusive nature, progressive theology of our church. Our current denominational affiliations are Alliance of Baptists, United Baptist Association, and Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America. PRBC Staff Leadership:
Russ and Amy Jacks Dean, Co-Pastors
Becka Eppley, Communications Director
Caleb Foust, Associate Pastor for Children, Youth, and Families
Leslie Gipple, Operations Manager
Dan McClintock, Minister of Mission
Bob Pritchard, Music Minister
Tammy Watkins, (Interim) Child Development Center Director
Roxanne Holt-Watson, Organist
Allison Wieland, Financial Administrator

PRBC Families: Summer Plans
Last year, I learned that less is more in our summer schedule, so this year I’ve decided to keep it simple. We have a week of Youth Camp and a week of Kids Camp, but we will also look to do a family day out at the lake in August, as well as a church-wide outing to the Charlotte Pride Parade (We will be walking in the parade on August 16, representing PRBC.).

We will also look to do a trip to Carowinds and a movie night! - Caleb

Child Development Center Scholarship Fund
When our Park Road Baptist Child Development Center was established in 1970, we supported a diversity of children, racially and from a diverse socio-economic demographic. For explainable reasons, we have lost that early diversity; our Center now largely supports children from more affluent families. If the church affirms our new Vision on Sunday, “Building. Community.” we will move to re-establish that diversity by expanding our Center and adding 70 spots for children whose families need financial support. With the funds we raise, and through vouchers and other means, we will again provide affordable childcare on our campus. Thanks to one generous church member, we have been given a headstart on a fund for children – providing a half-tuition scholarship for the child of one of our CDC teachers. This is a preview of things to come, if we move forward with a new Vision. Thank you!

Fun Food Friday - a little upscale this time!
I try to mix up our eating opportunities -- some ethnic options, some American cuisine, some casual, and the occasional fine(r) dining experience. That will be us for this next time out. On Friday, June 5, we'll enjoy the ambiance and the finery of the new Laurel Park restaurant ( ) in South Park (4201 Congress St., Unit 190). It's not coat-and-tie for lunch, but you may not want to wear your overalls, either! The menu looks wonderful, and if the weather is good, we're hoping for patio seating. Please let us know if you're coming — whether you're riding with us (11:15 a.m.) or joining us there (11:30 a.m.). We need a complete count, so please RSVP by emailing the church office at [email protected] or by signing up in Helt Hall on Sunday mornings. I'm looking forward to it! -Russ
