Welcome back students!24:7 on Thursday NightsThis is an event where the gospel of Jesus Christ is relevantly shared for college students through the preaching of the Word, student testimonies, an incarnational community, and many forms of worship. Campus GroupsWe gather in campus groups with our friends and classmates to live life together and experience the gospel in ways we can’t on our own. They are a place to study the Bible, serve the university, pray together, fight sin and participate in the mission of God for Parkview Church. VerveVerve is a community of freshmen intentionally seeking God. This group serves as both an in road into 24:7 for freshmen and also a place for freshmen to grow in their love for Jesus, develop a love for God’s Word and deepen relationships with other freshmen who want to know God more. Joshua TeamJoshua Team is a 6-8 week intensive discipleship community that comes together to grow in our love for Jesus. It is a chance to take a next step in your relationship with Christ, and into the 24-7 community.

Jesse and Zach wanted to find a way to reach young people in Iowa City with the love of Christ. Jesse had seen successful university and young adult ministries in Texas and California, and Zach had been part of music ministries at the University of Northern Iowa. Jesse and Zach have the same hope and prayer: that God would spark a revival at the University of Iowa. The first 24:7 event was held in September of 1999 and continued monthly. It became a weekly event in January 2000 and by the grace of God it has continued to grow. |  calendar |
