About Mountview Christian Church:

Mountview Christian Church is a local, non-denominational church originally affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA. Planted in 1957 as Mountview Baptist Church, we became Mountview Christian Church in September 2012 because we desire to be known as a church with Christ as the center of our lives. Our community is family-friendly with exceptional schools and our church community emulates our local surroundings with a core of families along with singles and seniors, making for a multi-generational gathering. Our vision is Growing Together in Jesus, acknowledging that we are all on a growth journey to be more like Jesus and we are doing it together. We are a place where everyone is known and everyone is invited into a deeper relationship with Jesus.
