Our History
Parkview Christian School was started in the fall of 1980 by Calvary Community Church and its pastor, Dr. Carl Godwin. The K-8 school began with 60 students and within two years of opening expanded to offer a full K-12 program.
Continuing to expand to minister to families in the Lincoln area, a preschool and daycare were opened in the fall of 1991. Today, Parkview Christian Schools operates three separate locations for preschool and daycare for young children.
Early on, Parkview Christian School played a central role in a nationwide struggle for religious freedom in private schools. In the spring of 1983, Parkview Christian School was ordered by a judge to finish the school year and not reopen in the fall. This announcement brought an outpouring of prayers and support nationwide from Christians concerned about the overt intervention of the state into church and private school affairs.
A bill was passed by the Nebraska State Legislature in the spring of 1984 allowing the operation of church and home schools within the state of Nebraska without a government permit.
Founded on that principle of religious freedom, and always striving towards excellence in education the school employs teachers who are professionally trained and hold state teaching certificates. The school is fully accredited by the Nebraska Department of Education.
