MANNA is ministry of Parkview designed to welcome and walk alongside those men, women and families struggling with homelessness. We don't pretend to have all the answers, but wish to open our doors on Sunday mornings to everyone and anyone who wants to connect with God and seek out His provision for their lives. We desire to live life together and meet people wherever they are in their journey.
