Serving together
At Modesto Parkwood we believe the greatest evidence of the Gospel is service to each other. All our ministries are focused on nurturing spiritual growth in Jesus and learning to use your unique God given talents in ministry (1 Cor. 12:13). What ever your passion is Parkwood is the place where you can use those gift to grow in Jesus and help others learn of his wonderful grace and love.
Here are just some of our current ministry groups. All our ministries are lay member led and dependent on the gifts and talents of the local church. We hope you plug into any of these groups or if you don’t see a ministry or group that interest you, you can seek to get that started!

Pathfinders & Adventures Club
The Adventurer Club was created to give children an opportunity to belong to an organized peer group. To join, children are invited to participate in various activities which will improve their social skills. The Adventurer Club involves children in grades 1-4 and their parents. The programming and planning for Adventurers should be simple and short, but creative. Parental involvement provides opportunities for parents to participate in the learning experience.

Sabbath Keeper Motorcycle Ministry
Sabbath Keepers Motorcycle Ministry (SKMM) is a Seventh-day Adventist ministry committed to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ to the motorcycle community. The Ceres, Calif., based ministry has more than 20 chapters spread from Florida to California with one in Canada and Australia. Membership is open to all baptized members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Chapters are sponsored by an Adventist Church, but are aided by elected national officers that are in charge of growth, chapter formation and chapter mentorship among other things.
Local chapters will often participate in motorcycle rallies, charity rides, dedication services, or other motorcycle related activities. Personal contact and literature evangelism are the primary methods used to spread the gospel. However, SKMM does not limit itself to ministering to the motorcycle community, or even requiring members to have a motorcycle.
Prayer Group
Prayer is the key to unlock the blessings of heaven! We have a committed group of prayer partners that will keep your request before God daily. You can join this team or make sure they have your request to be praying for you. We meet for prayer meeting every Wednesday @ 7 p.m. at the church.
