All
are welcome at Parkview...for no matter who you are, or where you
are on life's journey... YOU ARE WELCOME HERE.
Who
We Are ...
We are a
multi-cultural, multi-generational church of people who are believers
and seekers, faith-filled and skeptics seeking community, working
toward peace and justice, believing we can make a difference in the world.
We were
organized in 1960 and continue to be guided by our Vision Statement
and five Covenants (for more information about our Vision and
Covenants see the links below under the
Parkview circle). We are proudly progressive, intentionally inclusive
and creatively spiritual.
We worship
together on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am. (See our homepage
for the seasonal worship schedule.)
Our Chapel is
available for individual and group meditation during the week. Check
with the office for availability.
Our
Covenants and Core Ministries are represented by the Parkview Circle...

We hold God in
the center of all things. The second ring contains the principles by
which we live in broad terms: Love, Integrity, Stewardship, Values,
Vision and Covenant.
