Missions
At Parkview Church, we believe in serving others and making a difference in the lives of those around us. Our Volunteer Groups offer a variety of opportunities for members of our congregation to get involved in local service projects and international missions. We support many ministries that serve our community, including Blessings in A Bag, Helping Hands, Matthew 25 Ministries, Adopt a family, Traveling Playground, and Planting Seeds. Join us in putting our faith into action and serving our community at Parkview Church.
If you are looking for a church that is active in reaching out to its community, Parkview is the place for you!
Little Free Pantry
In partnership with the Lions Club, Parkview has a Little Free Pantry.
Little Free Pantries (LFPs) offer a zero-barrier access point to food to help fill the gaps in the food system. They support neighbors who are facing food insecurity while building micro-communities. They empower people to make an immediate change in their neighborhood.
LFPs are not intended to replace or interfere with the work food security agencies and groups do. They instead work in support of FSA’s to draw awareness to food insecurity issues and create community through collective action in neighborhoods. Little Free Pantries give neighborhoods and communities the ability to help fill gaps in our food system and are a no-barrier, 24/7 access point to food.
The Little Free Pantry is located in front of the children's playground. It is accessible 24/7 to all who face food insecurity.

Matthew 25: Ministries
The work of Matthew 25: Ministries helps the poorest of the poor and disaster victims throughout the United States and around the world.
Our current Parkview ministry focus is: Collecting items for disaster victims, Clothing Collection, and a work trip each month to Matthew 25 in Blue Ash.
-
Collecting items for disaster victims: We are currently collecting cleaning supplies. Cleaning supplies can be dropped off in the Matthew 25 area in the left hallway on Sunday mornings or during office hours.
-
Clothing Collection: We are accepting all clothing which can be placed in the blue bin next to the children's playground.
-
Work Trips to Blue Ash: Each month on the SECOND Monday at 9:00 a.m. We gather in the church parking lot to travel together to Matthew 25. There are a variety of tasks; sorting clothes, mixing paint, making personal care kits, and whatever they need done at the time. Contact Susan Orndorf for Monday transportation to Blue Ash.

Lions Club Recycle for Sight Program
Refractive errors can be easily corrected with eyeglasses, yet millions living in low and middle income countries lack access to basic eye care services.
Parkview Church recognizes the urgent need for corrective lenses in our community. Parkview partners with the Lions Club to collect eyeglasses for the Lions Recycle for Sight Program.
The collection box is located in our lobby. It is accessible before and after Sunday services and during office hours.

Operation Christmas Child
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with the local church worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations.
This year Parkview is collecting shoeboxes through November 9th, 2025. Members of the congregation can either fill boxes or donate money. The estimated cost for each box is $50 plus $10 for shipping (total $60).
Adopt A Family
In Partnership with Hope for Miamisburg, Parkview collects unwrapped Christmas gifts for needy families in the Miamisburg area.
The families will shop at the Hope for Miamisburg Christmas Shop in downtown Miamisburg. Volunteers are needed to help families pick out gifts, wrap presents, and pray with the families.
