Parkview Chapel

Evangelical
Congregation: 35 adults (5 under 18)

We are a Free Church, meaning we do not belong to any particular denomination.
Introducing people to Jesus and then helping them on their journey with God are what we're about.
As are relationships and being part of our community, hence why our Church sign says, 'Parkview - Church For The Community.'

Sunday Service
Sunday, 10:30
Refreshments are served from 10.30am, service starts at 11.00am. This will always include Communion, prayers and songs. It will also include a short talk based on the Bible. This will be on a topic which we hope people new to Church will gain something from, as well as something which we hope will help those who call themselves Christians.
Coffee On A Sunday
Sunday, 10:30
On the third Sunday of every month our service is more of a cafe style Church. We sit around tables, drink tea and coffee, eat cake, and discuss a given topic which we hope people new to Church will gain something from, as well as something which we hope will help those who call themselves Christians. Refreshments are served from 10.30am, service starts at 11.00am.

We use both the Mission Praise songbook and more modern songs not found in that book.
