Parkview Church is ready and excited to call an authentic, relational, and experienced Lead Pastor to love, lead, and inspire them to experience richer community, more meaningful discipleship, and greater impact as they pursue a refreshed vision for the future.

Parkview is experiencing a new season of ministry alignment and momentum following the difficult departure of their previous Lead Pastor. As a multi-site congregation of about 1,000 attendees on three campuses, Parkview is beginning to dream about the future again. Following a season that included multiple leadership transitions, the addition of another multi-site location, and a global pandemic, Parkview is on the verge of a new day. With the recent adoption of a refreshed vision, Parkview is ready to move forward. The desire to champion discipleship and disciple-making is resonating with the staff and congregation, injecting newfound energy around the potential and possibilities. The call of a new Lead Pastor who aligns with this vision and direction will position Parkview to once again build momentum and make a tangible difference in the lives of people in Iowa City and beyond.

The ideal candidate for Parkview is an experienced, confident, yet humble leader who resonates with the vision to form whole disciples and will understand the process of doing so. Modeling leadership that is dependent on the Holy Spirit and committed to a biblical lens, this pastor will know how to speak truth in love, cast a compelling vision, equip and deploy people for greater participation, and build off existing momentum. The ideal candidate will have high emotional intelligence, exceptional communication skills, a desire to equip and empower others while working with the team to catalyze engagement in the life and mission of the church. As a leader of leaders who can lovingly motivate and challenge others to step up or step in, the selected candidate will also model healthy rhythms of rest and Sabbath. He will successfully mobilize people of all ages to contribute their best to Parkview’s mission.

Parkview is one church in three locations located in Iowa City, Iowa, a community of about 75,000 residents.
