The Missionary Church, Inc. is an evangelical denomination that is committed to church planting and world missions. Its roots reach back to the Anabaptist Reformation of the 1520s in Europe from which various Mennonite groups emerged. The United Missionary Church and the Missionary Church Association merged in 1969 to become the Missionary Church, Inc. Between 1990 and 1998, the Missionary Church in the United States planted more than 133 new churches and has adopted 14 more formerly independent churches. During the same period of time, the Missionary Church sent missionaries into 11 new countries and areas of the world. It is now a denomination of 333 churches in the U.S. and over 1,200 churches worldwide. The Missionary Church also supports over 122 missionaries in 21 countries. The Missionary Church, Inc. has its denominational headquarters in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Parkside Community Church is a member of the Michigan District, which is made up of 54 churches and has its headquarters in Burton, Michigan. The Michigan District offers many opportunities for involvement for our churches. Some of these include children's camps, youth camps, bible quizzing, Brown City Family Camp, Women's Ministries, and others.
