One church. Two locations.

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.

Christmas Eve

15 Foster Road, Iowa City, IA

  • When are your Christmas Eve services?

    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.

  • What should I wear?

    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.

  • Should I arrive early?

    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.

  • Where should I park?

    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.

  • What is your service like?

    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.”

  • What do you have for kids?

    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.

  • Can I watch services online if I can’t attend in person?

    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.
