Ray Kollbocker

Ray served as Lead Pastor of Parkview for 31 years, faithfully shaping the church into a community centered on God’s grace, marked by humility, authenticity, and a deep commitment to loving others well. He consistently modeled a posture of humility—believing that being genuine matters far more than fitting a preconceived idea of what a pastor should be.

During his tenure, Ray built and developed a strong, unified staff team and cultivated a healthy church culture that allowed for a smooth and thoughtful transition of leadership in 2026 to Andy Klenke, who had served on staff for ten years. Ray’s leadership reflects his life verse, “He must become greater, I must become less” (John 3:30), a posture that has shaped both his ministry and the legacy he leaves at Parkview.

As Pastor Emeritus, Ray desires to continue serving the church he loves so deeply. You may see him from time to time teaching on Sundays, leading classes, working with our Justice Center, or stepping into other opportunities to give back. Ray remains a valued presence in our community, and we are grateful for his faithful leadership and enduring impact on Parkview.
