Meet our MVC Family

Come to the next connection point gathering after a Sunday service!

Are you looking for an opportunity to find out more about Monte Vista Chapel, meet some of the leadership who call Monte Vista Chapel home and ask a few questions? You are cordially invited to an informal (20 minute) connection point gathering after our service.

Whether you have been attending or streaming with MVC for some time or are new with us, you are welcome to come and ask questions, meet some folks you may have seen online or on Sunday and find out more about how there is a place for you in our church family. This time together is open to all and kids are welcome come along as well. Finger foods will be served, so have a snack and get the skinny!

If you are planning to join us we would love for you to register ahead so we may be prepared. If you did not register,  please join us regardless! We are looking forward to being with you.  This event will begin about 15 minutes after the Sunday service in the Travertine Room-Warner Johnson Building (WJB) 102 just off the courtyard.

Discovery

Whether you have been at Monte Vista Chapel for six months or six years, a Discovery gathering is a great place to learn more about who we are at MVC and where we believe God is leading us. During an interactive time together, we will explore what it means to partner in following Jesus and becoming more like him.

We begin by unpacking a little bit of our history, sharing our vision and values, answering any questions about membership at MVC. Most importantly we want to welcome you into what God is doing in us and through us at Monte Vista Chapel. The gathering lasts about two hours and you will have an opportunity to meet some staff members as well as other new attenders of MVC.

Baptism

Baptism is opportunity to personally and publically identify with Jesus. The very act of baptism reflects
Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. When we go under the water, we declare that our old self-led life is being put to death. When we come up from the water, we declare we are committing to a new, Spirit-led life that is available because of all that Jesus has done for us.

Though baptism is not necessary to be a Christian, obeying Christ’s command (Matthew 28:18-20) in this way deepens your spiritual walk and challenges and encourages others in their own spiritual journeys as well.  If you are feeling the call to publicly declare your choice to follow Jesus, we would love for you to take that step with our community at Monte Vista Chapel!

Family Dedications

Monte Vista Chapel values children as equal participants in the body of Christ. We believe that all children are created in God’s own image and are a gift from Him (Gen. 1:26; Psalm 127: 3-5). We desire to partner with parents and legal guardians in raising their children in a way that puts Christ’s love on display. This gives children the opportunity to experience God’s goodness and truth.

We recognize that child dedications do not grant a child salvation —God’s love and grace allow each individual to make the decision to follow Christ for themselves (John 3:16; Acts 4:11-12; Romans 10:9-13). Therefore, a child dedication is simply a public declaration of a parent or guardian’s desire and devotion to pursue the following as they raise their children to do the same:

Grow in a love and trust in God above all else

Follow the model and teachings of Jesus

Gracefully obey and cooperate with the Holy Spirit

Participate in the kingdom of God

In addition to the parents or legal guardian making a declaration, the Monte Vista Chapel Family will affirm their desire and also commit to partner alongside the family.
