Parkway Presbyterian Church Information

Since August 2005, Parkway has provided housing and support services for over 1,000 recovery volunteers from around the USA. This program has reached the tangible needs of people in our congregation and our community. Our mission projects extend beyond disaster recovery. We work with churches in Northern Ireland through the Ulster Project to facilitate peace through understanding. We tutor children from our adopted school, Airline Park Elementary, through the S.T.A.I.R. reading program. Our children lead a Penny Mission, which supports local mission programs. Parkway provides resources for Westminster Tower, a facility for low income elderly residents and for Second Harvest, the local food bank. We also accept food donations for Jefferson Presbyterian Church's food bank. We have a dedicated group of volunteers called "The Lawn and Order Club" who spend one Saturday a month working to clean up yards of homes recently rebuilt after Katrina. Parkway's Pre-School is a certified, licensed school with a national reputation of excellence, that provides education for over 300 children from age 14-months through Kindergarten. The school has been in continuous operation since 1955, and counts numerous three-generation families among the graduates. Our youth group leads worship on a regular basis, and participates in mission events at church and in the community.
