FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Our children have their very own time of worship each Sunday. We have a full program for every age group. When you come in, just simply ask one of our greeters and they will gladly show you where to take them. Our teachers and leaders would love to meet you, so take a minute to introduce yourself before you drop off your kids. Also, for the safety of your children, we have a check-in and check-out process. The program for the kids is filled with interactive activities, including songs, videos, arts and crafts, games, prizes, and teaching about God and His Word. Communion is an important part of a Christian's worship experience, and is a regular part of our worship. It is when we pass a form of bread and grape juice and take it as a group. We take communion as a church family once a month. This might seem odd if you are new to church, but it is a time when we take a few moments to remember the unprecedented act of sacrifice that Jesus paid for us on the cross. The bread represents His body broken on the cross, while the juice represents the blood He shed for us. In the Bible, Jesus instructed His disciples to do this as a way to remember Him. It is a humbling time for a believer as we reflect on how much He loves us. Baptism is one of the most fundamental aspects of the Christian. Since the beginning days of the early church, Christians have been practicing the act of baptism. Although it has taken on different forms, and some even debate about the meaning a little, they still agree that people who claim to follow Jesus should be baptized.
1.) What can I expect on a Sunday morning?
2.) What happens if I miss a sermon or want to check you out before I attend?
You can listen to either our current sermon series or our past sermons online. We also have audio CD's available for a $2.00 donation which helps to offset the expense of producing CD's.
3.) Do I need to bring a Bible?
We recommend that you bring a Bible if you have one. We defintely use our Bibles each Sunday. It's ok if you don't know how to find the different books in the Bible. It can be confusing. We put tools on the screen that help you find your place. If you do not have a Bible, we have plenty available for use. Please feel free to take one home with you. There's no need to ask!
4.) How can I get connected?
The first step we recommend is coming to a Sunday celebration service. We also have occasional community events that are great for connecting with a few people. Once you have come to a celebration service, we strongly recommend getting involved in one of our community groups. This is the best way to make friends and build relationships. It also offers a safe place to ask any questions you may have.

7.) What does Mountain View teach about baptism?
You may have heard us talking about baptism at church. If you grew up in a church, you may have many differing views on baptism. If you weren’t raised in church, you may be wondering what in the world we are talking about. For these reasons, we have available for you a pamphlet entitled "What About Baptism" which explains the Biblical view of baptism .
