Project:
We believe that we are called by God in Christ to invite people of all ages, sociological backgrounds and conditions to know Christ -- to motivate them to do the will of God through acts of love, and service; to call the community to realize and appreciate the strength and joy found in our diversity and how we can work together to transform impossibilities into extra-ordinary opportunities for the good of the greater majority in our communities and neighborhoods.
Located in Milton, MA, about 20 minutes from Harvard Square, Parkway United Methodist Church has an inclusive membership of over 700 persons representing 50 countries around the world. About 42% white and 58% black, Parkway boasts of a unique racial and ethnic diversity hardly found anywhere else in New England.
