About Us
Established in 1987, Greater Community is committed to the proclamation of God’s perfect Law and of the glorious Gospel of His grace through all the world.
Our Vision
We are the last line of defense in a world set to destroy itself with the ways of wickedness. We are a body of baptized believers in Christ, who strive to know Him and the power of His resurrection. We are overcomers, light bearers, and warriors of the One and only Wise God. We cannot be defeated in Christ, whether in life or death, We are Victorious!
Meet Pastor Parks
I have been saved for over 32 years and have participated in ministry for 30 of those years. The Lord audibly spoke to me during my time of waywardness. Upon hearing a distant but familiar voice, I immediately obeyed His instruction to go to the house of the Lord; it was there that I experienced firsthand, miracles, signs, and wonders, of God’s majestic power.
He literally knocked me off my feet, filled me with His Spirit and gave me visions and dreams. By His grace, I became a better man, resulting in a restored marriage, gaining better parental skills and increased vocational aptitude. From that point, my life has never been the same, which confirms that God is a keeper of those who want to be kept.
I love the Lord with the totality of my heart, mind, and soul; and am willing to do whatever He tells me to do. I promised to do it with all that I am, whether liked or disliked, loved or hated—Jesus is Lord.
Our Mission
This is a lifestyle for each disciple of Christ and the church collectively. We must desire it, just like the air we breathe.
We live for the things of God; we stand for righteousness and holy living. The Word is our guidebook and plumb line for all activities regardless of popular opinion.
Regardless of setbacks, tribulations, signs of the times and the like, we will increase numerically, spiritually, financially, and socially.
As the needs of Christendom changes, we will do those things God leads us to do, not for popularity but for necessity.
We do not judge the fallen but pray for their deliverance. We abhor self-righteousness and false piety, but embrace the contrite spirit.
Where the Spiritually Sick Come to be Healed.
“I have been told numerous times that the church is full of hypocrites, adulterers, thieves, bigots, and liars. I must admit that it is, but where else do spiritually sick people go to get healed? In a sense, the church is like Noah’s Ark. The Ark was jammed packed with the stench of animal and human waste, not to mention the sicknesses associated with them both, but it was the only place of safety. Let’s worship God while we still can. Let’s come together in the ark of safety so that God can do what He does best—heal, deliver, and set His people Free.”
– Pastor, Dr. Chris A. Parks, DDiv
