Contact Kelly Hamilton

Partnering with PCBC

Thank you for your interest in partnering with Park Cities Baptist Church to further the Great Commission around the world.

WHERE WE SERVE

Presently Park Cities is focused on serving these target areas: 

  1. Dallas (Vickery, South Dallas, and West Dallas)

  2. US Church Planting

  3. South Texas

  4. Caribbean and Latin America (select countries)

  5. Africa (select countries)

  6. Asia (select countries)

SERVE FOCUS & STRATEGY

Our focus is on the following types of work:

1. We go and send people. Through:

  • short-term mission trips with ministry partners

  • equipping our church to love their neighbors like Jesus

  • acts of compassion and humanitarian aid

2. We plant and resource churches. Through:

  • Training local pastors

  • Planting house churches throughout the world

  • Planting churches in large, unchurched cities throughout the U.S. 

Our strategy behind missions at PCBC is driven by the ministry cycle. With worship at the center of all we do, we enter into a new region through an act of compassion, providing us a chance to build a relationship, that then provides the opportunity to share the Gospel of Christ. This will lead to the opportunity to disciple another and begin the process again.

BEGINNING THE PARTNERSHIP PROCESS

What It Looks Like:
• Sponsorship of pastors through seminary training
• Discipleship tools to new believers
• Training for house church leaders
• Language-specific discipleship materials
• Seminars in the U.S. and abroad for ministry leaders

Why We Do It:
We believe that training and discipling the next generation of global church leaders is one of the most important advancements we can make in spreading the Gospel. There are so many courageous and willing pastors and ministry workers around the world who simply do not have the resources they need to impact their communities. The gift of education has proven transformational for these faithful believers and the people they serve.
