Park Cities Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian church building in Highland Park, Dallas, United States.
Park Cities Presbyterian Church is a Presbyterian Church in America congregation in Dallas, Texas, with about 5,500 members. It began meeting in June 1991 in the facilities of Highland Baptist Church, which the congregation later purchased. Its first senior pastor was Rev. Skip Ryan, who served until 2006; Rev. Mark Alan Davis was installed as senior pastor on May 11, 2008.
The congregation was founded in 1991 when members separated from the existing Highland Park Presbyterian Church to establish their own community. They initially held services at Highland Park High School before building this dedicated structure.
The name Park Cities refers to the congregation's location and its 1991 founding, when about 1,500 to 2,000 worshippers followed elder Harry Hargrave out of Highland Park Presbyterian Church after a failed vote to leave the PC(USA). The church describes itself as evangelical, Reformed and confessional, with the Westminster Confession of Faith as its standard.
The building offers surface parking accessible from Oak Lawn Avenue, making it convenient for visitors to find a place for their vehicles. Access to all areas is straightforward, with clear connections between the different ministry spaces and worship areas.
The congregation helps fund the Southwest Church Planting Network, which starts new PCA churches across Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona. Its mission work also reaches the Lao Presbyterian Fellowship in Laos, plus partners in Senegal, Japan, South India, Peru and Ukraine.
