Who we are
We are a non-denominational congregation dedicated to the restoration of the New Testament Church in doctrine, ordinance, and life.
Parkview Christian Church makes no claim to be different from the other Bible churches; in fact, our goal is unity, not division. Christianity has sufferred long enough from the divisions among Christian people. We do not want to be different , what we want is for Jesus' prayer to become reality: "That they may all be one, even as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us" (John 17:21).
Our movement began in the early nineteenth century when there was much fighting among Christians on the frontier over various religious creeds and beliefs. A group of Christians broke away from the denominationalism announcing that they would follow the Bible alone, instead of human creeds.
Over the years, people have realized that they want to be Christians without the possible complications of denomination. They want to break down unnnecessary walls among Christians.
The Restoration Movement, of which we are a part, got its name from the fact that we are trying to restore the church to the precedents set by the Church of the New Testament. Over the years, many man-made rules, regulations, doctrines, and practices crept into many churches and we feel that it is time to get back to the Bible.
Since we are trying to imitate the New Testament Church, we:
Preach Jesus Christ
Baptize by immersion
Observe Communion every Sunday
Call our leaders Elders and Deacons
Like the earliest churches, our church is independent. We have no church hierarchy, no headquarters in another city that determines policy. As a congregation, we elect elders, call and support our ministers, decide where our resources will be dedicated, and in every way rely on God to determine the direction and vision of this Church.
