About East Campus

East Campus is our smaller location, averaging around 100 people attending on Sunday mornings. It offers a contemporary, unpolished worship service feel with familiar liturgical elements that help us rehearse the Gospel story each week through singing, prayer, preaching of the Word, and more.

Pre-service Prayer
Many East Campus members and attenders gather at 9:30 on Sundays before the service to pray for East Campus, Iowa City, and the world.

Kids and Youth
East Campus offers Sunday morning programming (Sunday School) for babies through 12th Graders most weeks. Our curriculum is rooted in the Bible and helps engage each age level in appropriate ways.

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.

East Campus is located in a strip mall that has ample parking close the front doors.

Look for the big green “Kids” sign to check in your kids (birth-5th grade) for Kids’ Programming. Our Check-In Assistants will help you find the right room for your kids and provide security name tags for them.

On 1st and 3rd Sundays, students (6th-12th grade) are invited to Donuts & Jesus, a Sunday School with age-appropriate Gospel-centered discussion and teaching.

Sunday School for all ages is offered only during the sermon, so that families can worship through song and prayer together at the beginning and end of the service. Children are also welcome to stay with their families for the entirety of the service. We offer activity clipboards to help guide the children through the sermon.

Yes! We offer complimentary coffee, tea, water, and hot cocoa every week in the Lobby. You can bring your coffee into the auditorium with you, we just request you use a lid to reduce spills.

The service lasts about 65-70 minutes and includes time for singing, prayer, and a message from the Bible. On occasion, there are special elements in the service such as water baptism, highlighting community impact efforts, and kids’ moments among others.

Our music style is a blend of contemporary and traditional Christian music. Typically, our band includes a piano and/or keyboard, acoustic, electric and bass guitars, drums, and two to four vocalists. We project the lyrics to each song on large screens above the stage, encouraging the congregation to sing and worship the Lord. You can check out our "Sunday Songs" playlist on YouTube to get a feel for the types of songs we sing.

Our weekly message is based on a passage from the Bible with real-life application and an emphasis on the core values of Christianity. We typically work through one book of the Bible at a time instead of sharing topical messages.

We have a culture of connection at Parkview, and our people love to linger. If you’d like, you can linger in the auditorium or out in the Lobby, or you can scoot out as soon as you’re ready.

 If you brought kids, you’ll pick them up from their classrooms.

 If you need prayer or have questions following the service, we always have a few church leaders available at the front of the Worship Center to help you.

 We hope to see you again next week!

Our church is affiliated with the Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA) and we affirm their Statement of Faith. You can read more about that here.
