There is always an opportunity to serve at Parkview. We stay busy all week encouraging the fallen, seeking the lost, feeding the hungry, serving the community, counseling the sick, and spreading the Word.

Our family is growing and it has become harder and harder to reach out to everyone that is in need. We need your help. Our ministry teams are made up of individuals in the congregation that have a passion for that particular work. Each ministry is lead by a ministry leader and watched over by one elder.

If you are interested in serving the Lord with this body, but are unsure where you fit in, we have ministers to help you choose. Call the church during office hours.
