Children’s Ministries
Mountain View Baptist Church is deeply committed to Deuteronomy 6:7 which commands us to rear our children in the Lord by bringing Him into our home, speaking of Him day and night, morning and evening. Our children’s ministries focus upon these tender hearts with an eternal view in mind, preparing them for childhood by providing a biblically based Christ centered program that introduces them to the Savior. Kings Kids is just such a program. An after school spiritual enrichment dedicated to training young hearts for the Lord.
Teen Ministries
Mountain View Baptist Church is just beginning a teen group. The focus will be to introduce our young adults to a level of scriptural understanding that brings them to the next level of spiritual development. This prepares them for adulthood by laying a foundation based in God’s Word. Study, activities, missions, and service in a variety of participatory events where teens can implement Christlike behaviors and service to others in their lives. As our ministry grows, our young people grow with it. Seeing young people grow in the Lord is a passion of the ministry, and has been a focus for Pastor Senter for a number of years.
Adult Ministries
Mountain View Baptist encourages individuals to implement biblical leadership, stewardship, servitude, and love in the home (Joshua 24:15). When a biblical home life is the focus, and the home is exercising these principles, it seeks to serve God in all it does. The family that focus’ upon God in all things, pleases God.
Before marriage, in times of strife, or discomfort/disagreement or just to further clarify God’s requirement in our relationships and lives, Mountain View Baptist Church also offers counseling and assistance programs focused upon the answers in the Holy Bible. One who believes in the bible’s description and provision for salvation, must therefore lay their dependence upon its guidance and direction in life. This is biblical counsel not subject to the whim of mans intuition. A counsel grounded in a truth tested throughout time.
Westward and Showboat rest homes focus upon physical needs for the elderly. We cooperate to provide spiritual enrichment and instruction to these dear saints through an outreach to them.
Ladies Ministry
In concentrating the saints of the Lord on the word, we provide as many venues as possible to teach and inspire the Saints of God. One of these is our Monday morning Ladies Bible study conducted by Diane Heeney. Every Monday at 10AM our ladies meet to fellowship and gather around the word of God. They are currently studying “Kept for the Master’s Use,” a study on consecration based upon the Francis Ridley Havergal’s hymn, “Take My Life and Let It Be.”
Our ladies also meet monthly to fellowship, plan events, pray, and just be together to enjoy Christ among them. Our Ladies Fellowship provides opportunities of service and outreach that brings them closer together.
Technologically, we provide an additional venue for Ladies to communicate, gather, and be inspired with ladies devotionals available by accessing the “Strength for Today” ladies blog, authored by Diane Heeney (a member of Mountain View and leader of our ladies weekly Bible study).

Men’s Ministry
Mountain View has not necessarily developed specific men’s ministries at the church due to our many conflicting schedules. However, we have had good success with our Men’s Prayer Breakfast. Every second Saturday of the month at 8 AM you will find the men of the church gathered in the fellowship hall. We have plenty of good food, great fellowship, we open the Word of God and learn from the hearts challenged at the table. Then we pray. We pray for God to intervene in our imperfect leadership and make it a perfect work of Grace in Him. We pray for our families, our church, our country, and especially for one another and our responsibilities as men in our homes surrounded by an evil and hostile world.
