We believe the Defining Marks at MVC are best facilitated by an environment that reflects the following core values:

• People In Process - The Christian life is a process where one grows from embracing Christ to greater maturity. We do not attain instant maturity, but grow as a process over time. (Philippians 3:12-14; Colossians 1:28-29)
  
  
• Purposeful Living - As a believer, each area of life is to be set apart to please God. As uniquely gifted individuals, we are also called to influence our community and world for the cause of Christ. (John 4:24; Colossians 3:23; 1 Corinthians 9:19-27; 10:31; Psalms 115:1; Acts 1:8; 1 Peter 4:10; Matthew 28:18-20; 2 Corinthians 5:18-20)


• Practical Input - The Scriptures are central and authoritative to all that Mountain View Community does. We are committed to bringing the life-transforming truths of God to the very living room of people's lives. (1 Peter 1:23, 2:2; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:16-17)
  


• Personal Relationships - Genuine growth and ministry is facilitated in a life-to-life context, within an environment of love and acceptance. (Matthew 28:18-20; 1 Thessalonians 1:5- 6; 2:8,13)
  
  
• Proactive Multiplication- As a group of believers, we are convinced that the greatest way of reaching lost people is through the reproduction of healthy churches. That is accomplished when each person and each ministry is proactively multiplying themselves. (Acts 1:8; 2:41-47; 9:31; 16:5; Romans 15:20)
