A Message from Pastor Greg
In October 1997, a small group of believers gathered in a ballroom with a bold vision to create a life-giving, gospel-centered community. That defining moment launched Parkview’s journey of guiding people to life change in Christ. Even with limited numbers and resources, we embraced the transforming power of Jesus—a commitment that continues today. We’re dedicated to serving our community and strengthening families through changed lives.

Project Updates
Family Ministry Building Remodel
Work is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026 to create an indoor playground in addition to a new Family Ministry auditorium, cafe and check-in area, two new rooms for preschool-age children, a nursing mother's room, and an expanded kitchen.


A New Church for St. Johns County
Trent and Andrea Griffith are leading the charge in planting New City Church in St. Johns County in partnership with Parkview and the Send Network. Leading up to their official launch on January 11, join them on Sundays at 4 pm for Worship and the Word on the campus of Good News Church near the World Golf Village exit of I-95. Just as you have enjoyed being discipled and growing at Parkview Church, consider joining the committed core of New City Church to serve a growing congregation in making disciples of Jesus in the local community.

Parkview Ormond Renovation
Since the launch of EVEN GREATER, Parkview had the opportunity to purchase a church in Ormond that had been shuttered for five years. Renovations completed so far include gutting the auditorium, installing a new roof, exterior painting, and cleaning up the property. Sunday services are expected to begin by Easter, led by Parkview Ormond Campus Pastor Brad Gorman, with live worship and the message livestreamed from Parkview Palm Coast.

How did we see God work through Parkview during the GREATER Initiative (2022-2024)?
In less than three years since launching the GREATER Vision Initiative in 2022, we’ve seen incredible growth—from 1,000 weekly attendees across two campuses to nearly 3,000 today, including Redemption City Church, which we helped establish on its own 7.5 acres.
We celebrate thousands experiencing life change in Christ through baptisms, discipleship, community, and mission. Marriages have been restored, addicts set free, and broken lives healed. Through the GREATER Initiative, we’ve achieved bold goals: building a new auditorium, renovating facilities, supporting Trinity Baptist College, and assisting Redemption City. Yet, God has done far beyond what we imagined, showing us this was just the beginning.

What were the results of GREATER and why are we doing EVEN GREATER?
Thanks to the people of Parkview, the GREATER Vision Initiative brought in over $3 million, in addition to our regular giving, through the first fruits offering as well as the two-year commitments. Because of this generosity, we paid $3.75 million toward the completion of our new auditorium and remodel of our new lobby space. We are now in a new season with more needs and an even greater vision to guide people to life change in Christ.
How much funding is needed to complete this vision initiative?
Thanks to the generosity of our church family, commitments to date have totaled $12.6 million over two years, exceeding the original EVEN GREATER goal of $11 million. We need approximately $7 million for two years of operating budget and $5.5 million for the following projects:
- Parkview Ormond campus launch- Family Ministry Building remodel
- Support for New City Church, the St. Johns County church plant
- Flagler Beach property purchase
What is the projected construction timeline?
We expect construction on the Family Ministry Building to begin in the second quarter of 2026, with the bulk of the work focusing on the creation of the indoor playground.
What will happen to Family Ministries while construction is happening?
We have collaborated closely with our contractor to develop a construction timeline that ensures all ministries can continue operating effectively throughout the project. With strategic planning and flexibility, we will maintain access to the classrooms and the Family Ministry auditorium on weekends, minimizing disruptions. Additionally, all construction activities will be confined to weekdays to further support a smooth and seamless transition during this period.
How do we know that the construction costs are not too much or too little?
One of our top priorities for EVEN GREATER is to invest in future generations by positioning our Family Ministries for even greater success in the future. To maximize the impact of this initiative, we have redesigned the original plans for the Family Ministries building, ensuring that every inch of space is utilized to best serve our children and families. We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with a highly respected company with whom we have established a strong and trusted partnership through multiple past projects. Together, we have developed a plan that is both cost-effective and of the highest quality, ensuring that our Family Ministries will continue to thrive for years to come.
Have we been able to reduce our indebtedness? What is our indebtedness currently?
We have minimized our indebtedness by paying the first $3.75 million of the new building before borrowing began. We currently owe a total of $5.3 million on our building loans which is well within the benchmarks for healthy churches. Because of our church family’s generosity, Parkview is financially positioned to eliminate our debt and fund our ministries and mission partners.
When will the EVEN GREATER pledges/commitment begin and end?
The two-year commitment begins the weekend of April 26/27, 2025 and concludes April 25/26, 2027. Please note that you are welcome to commit to giving to EVEN GREATER at any time.

What is a financial commitment card?
A commitment card is a helpful tool to guide people through the process of praying through and planning their giving for the next two years. It also provides a way for everyone to communicate their plan to the leadership of the church. This allows us as a church to begin making plans and decisions as soon as possible and lets us be flexible as opportunities arise.
At Parkview, we take financial privacy very seriously. Families’ exact giving amounts are never disclosed and only seen by a few carefully-chosen staff members for things like managing finances and tax records.
We also believe that generosity is a fundamentally spiritual issue. How we view our money can often make or break our walk with the Lord (Mat.6:21). We are striving to be a church where people are challenged in every area of their spiritual lives, including finances. Thus, we encourage open discussion of how each of us manages our money to facilitate transparency, exhortation, and encouragement.

FAQ's
About EVEN GREATER
About Parkview Ormond
Will there be opportunities for groups and activities during the week, or will it only be for weekend services?
Yes! We will offer weekly groups and activities at the Ormond campus, starting immediately after the campus launch. We are committed to building a vibrant community that extends beyond weekend services.
Is our goal to move people from our current campus to the Ormond campus to make more room here, or are we focusing on reaching new people in the Ormond area?
Both! We will need a core team from the current campus to help launch the new campus, but our vision is to reach the 35,000 people in the surrounding Ormond Beach area. We're focused on expanding God's Kingdom through both our existing members and new community members.
What happens if we outgrow the Ormond campus space?
The sanctuary at Parkview Ormond can accommodate 400 seats. If we need to expand, we can add more services, and with the flexibility of a video campus, our reach is limitless.
How does video preaching impact the church experience?
Video preaching enhances the experience in large churches with multiple campuses by ensuring consistent, high-quality teaching across all locations. It allows Pastor Greg to focus on the core message, while providing a dynamic and engaging experience for every campus. This model also enables us to reach more people effectively, regardless of location.
Will the launch of the Ormond campus affect the New City Church plant in St. Augustine?
Not at all! The church plant in St. Augustine is moving forward full speed ahead with Pastor Trent and Andrea. This will be an entirely new church, and we're thrilled about all the work God is doing there as well.
Will we still launch a church on the land in Flagler Beach?
Yes, we purchased the land in Flagler Beach, and our goal is to build there within the next five years as an additional campus for Parkview Church.
When is the anticipated launch date for the Ormond campus?
Our goal is to have weekly Sunday services in Ormond by Easter 2026.
Will there be live worship, or will worship be via video as well?
There will be live worship at the Ormond campus, creating an exciting and immersive experience for all who attend.
What work needs to be done for the renovation?
The remodel includes replacing two roofs, some interior doors, and windows. There is also extensive cosmetic work to be done, but we have incredible plans to transform the space. Our goal is to create an environment that will draw people in and lead them to life change through Jesus Christ.
Who will be doing the construction work?
We plan to handle much of the construction ourselves. If you have construction skills or simply want to contribute to this exciting project, we'd love to have you join us. Please reach out to get connected.
