Growing in Groups
Spiritual growth happens when we are connected with our community of faith. And that connection comes best when we are involved in groups of some kind. We desire people to go deeper than just the friendly Sunday morning times to grow together!

Women's Ministries
mOPS
The Watertown chapter of MOPS (Mother of Preschoolers) and MomsNext is hosted by Parkside Bible Church. MOPS is available to both expectant mothers and women with children not yet in school. MomsNext is aimed at moms with children in kindergarten through 12th grade. We are glad to host this constantly growing ministry! If you are interested in connecting with, ministering to or serving the children of these young mothers, this may be the place for you!
Our MOPS Ministry meets bi-weekly in small groups in people's homes during the school year. The groups gather for a large fun activities 3-4 times throughout the school year.

Men's Ministries
Saturday Men's group
Every 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month at 7 am, we meet at the church for a time of prayer, Bible reading, and discussion. Coffee always available! Try to make as many as you can. We are done by 8:20 am so you can be home for your family. During the COVID-19 pandemic, men's group is taking place in person and via zoom. Contact us for details to join.
Men's discipleship
Men's discipleship takes place in the fall and spring. Men must sign up and commit to the full 8 weeks of the discipleship group. This group meets weekly on Monday nights at 7:15. It includes a teaching session, a group discussion, and a time of accountability with another member of the group. Because of the accountability and group discussions, each session builds on the last, consistency is important.
New session starting this fall!
Men's Retreat
September 17-18, 2021 we will be attending the annual NED Alliance Men Retreat at Delta Lake Bible & Conference Center. The theme is "Who Is That Man in the Mirror." We are taking registrations at the church up until July 15. If you are interested in more information, contact the church office or Pastor Mike directly.

Young Married Group
Young Married Group (YMG) is for any couple age 18-35. YMG is focussed primarily on investing in marriages of young couples to be able to grow together, and eventually raise a family together.
Cooper Life Group
Gertonson LIFE Group
This group meets at Parkside weekly. It's open to any who wish to join us- and does share a meal together as part of the fellowship. Currently, the study is discussions on interacting with the present culture.
DAytimers
This group ministers to those adults who are free during this time of the day -- it is mostly retired people, but there are several non-retirees that attend. They are always open to new people. The first hour is a Bible study or devotional led by one of the Pastors, followed by a covered dish lunch (at this time, due to COVID-19, there will be NO COVERED DISH LUNCH). No materials required. Masks are required when entering the building and at all times unless you are seated.
