Marking 30 years of ministry in Lakeland’s Parker Street neighborhood, the program serves K–12th children living within the Parker Street neighborhood as defined by Memorial Boulevard to the In Town bypass and South Florida Ave to Ingraham Ave. The mission of Parker Street Ministries is to participate in the vision of God’s love through Gospel-centered community development, focusing on fostering spiritual growth, supporting lifetime learners through educational opportunities, stabilizing the neighborhood by addressing housing quality and availability, and cultivating connections so gaps in relationships and services are bridged. The Dwelling brings together individuals and organizations committed to this Gospel-centered community development and is built by monthly donors, and residents volunteered in 2025.
