PARKVIEW PARTNERSHIP
About
Plymouth Alliance Church is passionate about impacting our community. One of the ways we do this together is through partnering with a local Plymouth elementary school—Parkview Elementary. By volunteering in a number of areas we seek to create a light-bearing influence that has an impact on the school environment. Through the relationships, we build in the school and through ministering to felt needs of the family, we want people to know Jesus Christ.
Plymouth Alliance Church partners with Parkview Elementary in Plymouth with the purpose of being a light in our community by serving others.
How it works
We continually communicate with the leadership of Parkview school in order to find ways in which we can serve the staff and students. Previous opportunities have included:
- Helping teachers on specified days with classroom activities.
- Helping students with their reading, writing, or math skills.
- Spending some time with a particular student who might need extra attention.
- Eat lunch with a student during lunchtime, "Lunch buddies".
- Providing Staff Breakfasts or Lunches at the beginning and/or end of the school year.
- Donating food and gifts to identified families in need.
Currently
For the 2021-2022 school year we continue to stand ready to meet any need that is presented to us. Currently, the following opportunities are available:

Testimonies from our Volunteers
"I have loved interacting with students at Parkview! They are so full of love. It's a lot of fun getting to know the kids but also sad to hear about their family and the situation that some are in.There are times when you know that you and the teacher are the only ones loving on some of these kids. In Matthew 19:14 it says, Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
--Jeannie, 2nd grade volunteer
"I have loved getting to ‘play’ with the first graders at Parkview. Getting to know them and interacting with them and the teachers has been a blessing. I hope I have blessed them too."
--Bonnie, 1st grade volunteer
"The Parkview teacher I partner with has told me how kind, friendly, and caring the volunteers from Plymouth Alliance are and that they are different from others in the school. I was able to share my faith briefly, and invite this teacher to church. I continue to volunteer with this class and am asking God for more opportunities to share."
--Dennis, P.E. volunteer
