Community Groups
Community Groups meet throughout the week, typically at member homes. These are intergenerational, co-ed groups who meet to read the Bible, pray, and journey through life together.
Adult Bible Fellowships
Adult Bible Fellowships are Sunday morning groups that meet at Parkview Central Campus after the service (typically 11 a.m. - 12 p.m.). There are two current offerings:
- Ambassadors
- Internationals
Both focus on growing in Bible study and prayer, and have a particular emphasis on the nations.
Parent Cohorts
Parent Cohorts meet on Wednesday nights as part of NXT nights. These are life-stage based groups that meet biweekly to share parenting wins and woes, and grow as parents together.
Small Group Bible Studies
A variety of small group Bible studies meet throughout the week at Parkview as well as other locations. These groups typically study a book of the Bible or use a published Bible study to grow as responsive students.
