LOVE FOR GOD OUR FATHER

Strive to love God with all that we have and all that we are. And to love the people around us in practical and sacrificial ways.

OBEDIENCE TO JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR

A commitment to growing in our relationship with Jesus through Bible study, prayer, confession of sin and repentance.

OPENNESS TO THE LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe that the Holy Spirit is God’s gift to every believer and that we are to be filled with the Holy Spirit on a daily basis. This daily walk produces the fruit of the Spirit mentioned in the Bible. We also believe that there are unique times when the Spirit comes in power and transforms us in a more dramatic way. These “power points” or encounters with the Holy Spirit are usually followed by significant changes in our relationship with God and the release of the spiritual gifts mentioned in the Bible.

VISIONARY FAITH AND PRAYER

Faith in God and prayer to God are at the heart of our ministry, enabling us to pursue God's vision. Faith is often spelled “R-I-S-K” and we have found that to be the case. We believe that God speaks to believers today and our faith is most often exercised in a response to God’s voice calling us to step out. Prayer is the infrastructure of MVCC and it undergirds all that we do. We rely on faithful prayer and fasting and challenge believers to pray fervently with their minds and with their spirits as God enables them.

OUTREACH & MISSION

We teach and model lifestyle, relational and mass evangelism, the spread of God's love and hope through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to all people that Mountain View can reach both locally and globally.

CHILDREN & YOUTH

Our desire is for our children to enter into a personal relationship with Jesus at a young age and to continually grow in their faith. Our children and youth are given the training necessary and are challenged to live out their faith at home, at school as well as at church.

DISCIPLE DISCIPLE-MAKERS

Our personal commitment to Jesus as Lord, in all aspects of life, compels us to encourage and teach others, both individually and in groups, to know and follow Christ, going deeper in our relationship with him.

GENEROSITY

In order for any church to fulfill her divine calling she must nurture a spirit of generosity. We must learn to be giving of ourselves in friendship, service, and material resources. The church should be known for its generosity toward the needy both locally and globally.
