Parkview Church started as a church plant with a handful of people and has grown to a vibrant and growing multi-site church located in the beautiful planned community of Palm Coast, FL. Parkview offers weekend services at their two campuses where people are invited to experience a Gospel-centered, life-giving worship service. Parkview Church is a theologically conservative church with a progressive methodology of worship and ministry.
Parkview’s vision is simple, “Guiding people to life change in Christ.” From the very beginning, the church has had a strong reputation in the community, and is excited to take the next step, by continuing to expand its impact and its commitment as they move into their new state of the art worship center. With these endeavors in mind, Parkview is excited to welcome its next Worship Pastor into a dedicated and tenured team, as they enter into this next season in the life of the church.
