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.

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.
Coordinator: Terry Miller

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 10th. 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).
