Mountain View Presbyterian

Our Mission:                       

To know Christ and make Christ known, we will be a faithful community led by the Holy Spirit to evangelize, disciple, support and nurture all people. Mountain View Presbyterian Church, chartered in 1980 is continually searching for new ways to serve Christ in our community and the world at large. We are a congregation of 1500 communicant members with a strong emphasis on worship, education and mission.
Children and youth are a big investment in time and energy and we have over 250 children and close to 60 Junior High. Our Senior High youth group has over 100 participants from 12 different high schools involved with Presbytery Youth events and with mission work in the inner-city of Pittsburgh, PA, Juarez, Mexico and in Los Angeles. Our college "Plus" program with an "email ministry" of nearly 100 has sent students on mission experiences to Kenya and New Orleans working with victims of Hurricane Katrina through Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. In addition to General Assembly, Synod and Presbytery of Grand Canyon support, Mountain View in 2008 contributes to projects around the world; in particular Riamakurwe Parish, Kiyango-Dandora Schools & Daystar University in Kenya. In addition, 40% of our Mission budget goes to organizations and agencies in the Phoenix area and we are also active with Habitat for Humanity, Save the Family, Unlimited Potential and United Methodist Outreach Ministries (UMOM). We supported 24 families through Vista del Camino Social Service Center of Scottsdale.
