Care Resources at Parkview

James 1:27 says, "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." We believe an important function of the church is to come alongside the needy, hurting, and marginalized to support them by meeting tangible needs with the compassion and grace of Jesus himself. Read on to learn of the various care resources available at Parkview Church in Iowa City, IA.

Pastoral Care & Counseling

Our pastors are here to walk with you through life circumstances, such as engagement, life planning, the loss of a loved one, health challenges, and more. Counseling can be coordinated through our front office staff who will match you with the appropriate pastor and ensure you have the resources you need for your situation.

If you are in a senior living community in the Iowa City, IA area, our pastors can be requested for a visit if desired.

As always, our pastors, elders, and staff desire to pray fervently for our church body, including you. If you have a specific prayer request, please let us know so that we can pray.
