Gospel Partnerships at Park Road Pres
At Park Road Presbyterian Church, we are deeply honored to partner with a number of incredible ministries that are actively working to advance the gospel around the world.
Many of these gospel partners have been sent out directly from our own congregation, and we count it a privilege to support, encourage, and stay connected with them as they serve in various corners of the globe.
Below, you’ll find more information about each of our partners, including links to their personal ministry websites, so you can learn more about their mission, impact, and how to pray for them.
If you have any questions about our Gospel Partnerships or would like to get involved, please reach out to our Missions Director and Elder, John Stevenson. He would be glad to connect with you.
Together, let’s continue to take part in what God is doing through His people—near and far.

The Taylors
Mission to the World: Scotland
Once at the heart of the Reformation, Scotland now prides itself on being one of the most secular nations in Europe. After hearing of the Free Church of Scotland’s vision of starting 30 new churches by 2030, the Taylors moved to Glasgow in 2021. They are currently helping to start a new church in the Northwest part of Glasgow, an area called Bearsden. The church is called Crossbridge, and the desire is to reach the unchurched and dechurched, and disciple Christians into missional living and worship. Crossbridge’s vision statement is to connect Jesus to People, People to Community, and Community to Joyful Service.
