Do Baptist churches have Elders? Does your church believe in the authority of scripture? Is there a difference between elder rule and elder led?

Join Pastor Jeff as he equips us on why Parkwood has Elders. Listen in as he explains how our conviction to the authority of scripture shapes our understanding of the office of Elders.

Tonight a special episode of Distinct People Distinct Time called "The Christian & Politics" will air at 6:30pm. Pastor Jeff will discuss the events of the past few weeks and challenges us to not let culture influence what scripture teaches.

On this episode we simply want to encourage each other with The Gospel in the midst of this season.

Pastor Jeff Long has a conversation with Nate Akin, executive director of the Pillar Network. Listen in as they discuss Parkwood's commitment to the Pillar Network as well as current issues facing the Southern Baptist Convention.
