Whether you consider yourself a lifelong Christian, have never stepped foot in a church, or are somewhere in between, Jesus wants to bring you Hope this Christmas.
Our church meets in two convenient locations in Iowa City, IA. As you make your Christmas Eve plans, choose the campus location that best suits your family’s needs.

15 Foster Road, Iowa City, IA
Our Christmas Eve services are on Thursday, December 24 at 3 and 5 PM. The nursery will be open for children under age 3 at the 3 PM service. Families with older children are invited to worship together in the service.
There’s no dress code and we’re generally very casual. If you feel like wearing a suit, go ahead, and if you feel like wearing a t-shirt and jeans, that’s great too. Just be yourself.
If you are the type of person that gets chilly in a movie theater, you might consider bringing a light jacket.
Yes! We recommend arriving 15-20 minutes early as our parking lot and Worship Center seating can fill up fast on Christmas Eve.
If you plan to send any kids to the nursery, please try to arrive 20 minutes early to allow time to get your kids checked in and get a quick tour of our Kids Wing.
Arriving early will also allow you time to take a family photo at our photo op, grab a cup of coffee or tea, and ask any questions of our Hospitality volunteers before the service.
We have a large, free parking lot right on site! You can enter our parking lot from Foster Road to the north of our building or Taft Speedway to the south of our building.
We have a few parking options for specific needs, such as our drop-off zone near the front door, wheelchair-accessible parking spaces in the center loop, and new and expecting parent parking spaces in the northeast corner of the lot.
A Christmas Eve service at Parkview looks much like every Sunday at Parkview: we'll sing songs together, pray together, and hear a message from the Bible. We love to conclude each Christmas Eve service with a candlelight singing of “Silent Night.”
Christmas Eve is a little different in that we do not offer our full Children’s Ministry programming. Here is what we do offer:
3 PM
At our 3 PM service, we offer nursery for kids under 3. Older kids are invited to join their parents in the Worship Center, and activity bags will be provided to keep them engaged in the message.
5 PM
Families are invited to worship together in the service, and activity bags will be provided to keep them engaged during the message.
During both services, we offer a secondary seating area where you can watch the service on video and your kids can get their wiggles out.
Need somewhere quiet to feed or settle your baby? We have a cozy Mothers’ Room located in our Nursery for you to feed, change, and care for your baby. There are rocking chairs, a changing table, bottled water, and low lighting to provide the comfort and quiet you may need. If you need help locating it, ask one of our hospitality team volunteers at the Connect Center.
Absolutely! If for any reason you can’t make our in-person service, you can always watch it live or watch it back on our YouTube channel.
We'd love to help you have all the information you need ahead of Christmas Eve. Feel free to email, text, or call us with any questions.

Celebrate Jesus during the Christmas season, find joy in chaos, and gather around beautifully decorated high-tea tables. Enjoy an evening of delicious food, worship led by Mallory & Christian Santiago, and a special panel featuring our pastors’ wives.

Even if you haven't been attending NXT nights, you are invited to join us for the Biggest Christmas Party! We'll have dinner from 5-6pm, fun games for children and youth starting at 6, and we will close with a Christmas Program and worship starting at 7pm. Holiday attire is encouraged. Prizes will be awarded for the Most Festive Family, Ugliest Christmas Sweater, and Most Sparkliest Ensemble. Children 5th grade and under need to attend with an adult. Invite your friends and come ready for fun and to be reminded why Christmas matters, no matter how old you are.

Be part of sharing hope and joy this Christmas season! Bring 1–2 dozen cookies to church, and during the service, we'll package them into boxes to share with others. Enjoy a special message to encourage you as you look for ways to share the hope of Jesus this season. On your way out, pick up a box of cookies to share with someone in the places you live, learn, work, and play!
