Worship
Sunday mornings at 10:30am for about 90 minutes. The service blends music and biblical teaching with multimedia, chocolate and fun. It's relaxed and contemporary in style and is a safe place to worship God or find out more about Him. Creche facilities are available.
Connect
Our small groups are an opportunity to engage faith in life connected with others. Each group is unique... most have regular meeting times, some exist to fulfil a need or service while others are informal gatherings around a common interest e.g. food or sport.
Children
Our children's ministry caters for children from 3 to 12 years old during the school terms. We have a dynamic Sunday morning program which starts during the worship service and other occasional events.
Rest Homes
We partner with other local churches to provide a weekly 30 minute service at Lawrence House and Kenwyn Home. The services are a mix of hymns, prayer and encouragement and are suitable for people of all backgrounds.
Hear us on the radio
We broadcast great music, dedications, Bible readings and of course, our Sunday morning sermons on our very own radio programme on Radio Te Aroha 88FM on Sundays at 9am. Listen live locally on 88FM or online here.
About
Who We Are
At Mountain View Church we are real people who worship and serve a real God. We understand that mission is not just something we do overseas; mission is about who we are...
- Authentic in our expression of love for God, celebrating life with God in a creative, informal style and playing mostly contemporary music that is sometimes a little loud.
- Practical in the way we touch communities with good deeds. Serving in ways that meet needs, build life, re-establish dignity and create joy.
- Truth as we live and share the good news of Jesus Christ. Praying that others see and experience Jesus as we live to honour Him.
We endeavour to create opportunities that connect people with God because only God has the power to transform a human heart. He connects people with others because we were created to live in healthy relationship and build people in all parts of life. God is interested in all of life and engaging people in a practical faith. Faith without action is useless.

What we Believe
In a nutshell, we believe in the Trinity, the redemptive acts of Christ on the cross, Water Baptism, Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and the ascension ministry gifts.
Specifically...
The one true and living God who eternally exists in three persons in unity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Divine inspiration and authority of the Holy Scripture
The original perfection of creation; the inherent corruptness of humanity through the Fall; the necessity of repentance and regeneration by grace and through faith in Christ alone, and the eternal separation from God of the finally unrepentant.
The virgin Birth, sinless life atoning death, triumphant Resurrection, ascension and continuing intercession of our Lord Jesus Christ, His Second Coming, and eternal Kingdom reign.
The justification and sanctification of believers through the finished work of Christ, their security as they remain in Him, and their future resurrection in an incorruptible body.
The Sacrament of Baptism by immersion, and of the Lord's Supper.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit for believers with supernatural signs, empowering the Church for its mission in the world.
The gifts of the Holy Spirit for the building up of the Church and ministry to the world.
Christ's leadership of the Church through the ascension ministries of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, for the unity, maturity and growth of the Church.
The privilege and responsibility of wise stewardship of all that God has given, including the practice of tithing to the local church.
Marriage is ordained by God in scripture for the exclusive union between one man and one woman, for their mutual help and comfort.
