Home for the wanderer. . . Rest for the weary . . .

 

We envision an open, welcoming church that is a place for weary Christians to find rest and wandering "nones"* to find acceptance and family. 

 

With a youth ministry that reaches unbelieving students, connects them with other believers, helps them grow in their faith, discover their ministry and honor God with their lives. 

 

With children’s ministry that is a safe, fun learning environment where kids realize they are gifted and empowered by God to be the hands and feet of Jesus to their friends and parents.

 

With a young adult ministry by young adults and for young adults that empowers and unleashes their passion and creativity into the world and trains them for ministry in the arts, sciences, business, education and service industries as missionaries to the culture.

 

With adult ministries for men, women, parents, singles, divorced people, those with special needs and those in recovery that teach people how to live in an intimate relationship with God, community with his people and as part of a bigger cause than themselves.

 

With counseling and healing ministries that treat the whole person and restore people to their true identity in Christ, setting them free from baggage, pain, addictions, bitterness, anger, fear and worry to live freely and fully alive.

 

A church where prayer is not a program, but a lifestyle of dependance on God and faith in his available presence and power working in and through us.

 

Where tithing is normal and extravagant giving is celebrated.

 

Where people risk and dream and follow God with reckless abandon.

 

Where we attempt ever more impossible things God leads us into, relying on his power and provision to do what we cannot make happen ourselves.

 

A church that is a greenhouse for creativity and arts, music, film, photography, hospitality and business that trains students and interns from around the world and produces influential music, food, art and media that blesses the worldwide church and impacts the secular culture.

 

With a central hub campus and satellites in homes in every city in south Orange County that see themselves as ministry centers for their neighborhood and outposts of the kingdom in their city.

 

And as people move away from Orange County we send them out equipped to start their own satellite wherever they go and find ways to keep them connected to the church family and resourced and equipped to minister to people wherever they are at.

 

All of this must be lived inside out by our values of authenticity, intimacy, love and restoration.  We will become a home for the wanderer and rest for the weary only to the extent that we pursue authenticity with ourselves, intimacy with God, love for each person and the restoration of all things until Christ’s kingdom comes and his will is done on earth as it is in heaven.

 

*"nones" is the term for those who select "none" on forms asking for a religious affiliation.

After years of listening to Mountain View Podcasts (based on a recommendation from someone I met at a Wild at Heart Boot Camp) and wanting ... but needing to wait for the right time to make a church move to MVC ... life finally put me in a place to make such a move. This could be a long review as I could go on and on about how the moment you walk into MVC you feel the presence of the Holy Spirit and know that the true Heart of Christ is alive and present (and chasing your Heart to make you Whole and Holy). However, brevity captures it all: the true Heart of Christ is alive and present in this community, the Gospel as it is written is preached in all of its restorative glory, and the Holy Spirit is fully embedded. Spend some time with the Men and Women of MVC, and you truly will be chomping at the bit to run the way of God's commandments with joy because you will be left with no doubt that Christ has brought freedom to our hearts. [Psalm 119:32]

So I posted this but I want to encourage anyone who is looking for a great church come check out Mountain View. Great worship! Come and be yourself here. Come and connect with Jesus in a real way and with other people. Most of our staff have been to a Boot Camp or Captivating.
