History

Matt & Darla Martin agree as pastor couple to lead the church plant from Martindale Mennonite Church.

The building committee offered $900,000 to Reamstown Church of God and they responded with a counter-offer of $980,000. It was agreed by the Parkview Leadership Team that this was fair price and the counter-offer was accepted.

Roles of Small Group Coordinator and Trustee are filled to give support to the leadership team.

The first service was held on January 10, 2010 and a fellowship meal followed the service.

Lots of planning and organizing came during this year, including Host Family, Baby Dedication, Coffee Fellowship, Talent Night, structuring Parkview membership and planning for an ordination.

The loan on the building is now $419,638.63

Parkview member Wilmer Zimmerman crafted an oak pulpit and replaced the existing one.

New projectors were installed in the sanctuary along with new basement stairs.

The last loan payment was made and the $670,600 loan was paid off in a little over five years.

Being the building loans were paid off the decision was made to dedicate 2016 as a year of blessing for needs that arose around us.

The need was felt for more leaders, so Nelson & Christa Rutt, and Sheldon & Ashley Martin were ordained as pastors. A Worship Coordinator was also designated to bring more structure within the Worship Leaders and Song Leaders.

COVID-19 brought many challenges, mainly with how services were conducted. For a period of time all services were only live streamed. As restrictions loosened we started with 2 services and then eventually joyfully reconvened as an entire congregation.

The Martindale District launched into a ten year vision of creating disciples and multiplying the body of Christ.

With a possible church plant, the need for more leaders was felt. Morgan and Carisa Newswanger were ordained as Pastor.
