Philosophy of Ministry: Reaching the Nations for
Christ
Here at Mountain View Community Church we are
committed to following God's lead in reaching the Nations
with the good news about Jesus Christ. With that goal in
mind, we actively support many ministries both locally and
internationally with an emphasis on church planting and
compassion ministry.
This not only involves supporting individual missionaries,
but also mission organizations, mission fields, and other
organizations dedicated to spreading God's Word through the
establishment of local churches no matter where they may
be.
Our Missions Purpose Statement
The MVCC Missions
Ministry exists
to:
- Equip believers
to do missionary work
- Send believers
into the mission field, and
- Support
missionaries going to the mission field
so that:
(1) new churches are planted,
specifically among the un-reached,
and
(2) the beauty and truth of the
Gospel is proclaimed in word and deed, among all peoples,
to the glory of God.
Equip
Every year we seek to send short term teams
to do missions. Prior to each trip, trip members do prep
work to get themselves spiritually ready for the trip and
to be equipped to do the ministry on the field.
Approximately 10% of our Missions budget is set aside for
EQUIP.
Send
We encourage and challenge God's people at
MVCC to go on short term trips as well as to prayerfully
consider missions. Our trips range from service-oriented
mission trips to evangelistic trips where each day we share
the Gospel in individual group settings, with the purpose
of helping assist the growth and planting of churches.
These trips are for youth, college age and adults.
Approximately 30% of our Missions budget is set aside for
SEND.
Support
Finally, Mountain View supports
church-planting missionaries worldwide in countries such as
Brazil, the Czech Republic, Mozambique and the Philippines,
as well as local mission organizations such as Youth for
Christ and Young Life. In addition we support a Christian
orphanage in Sudan. Approximately 60% of our Missions
budget is set aside for SUPPORT.
