Monte Vista Baptist Church

Who we are

A community of like-minded people seeking after Jesus with all we have.

Our beliefs

Get to know us

A Community Centered on Jesus.
We believe that all of life hinges on the good news that God the Father sent Jesus the son to ransom back his creation through his perfect life, death, and resurrection.
Vision
Our vision is to see God's Kingdom advance in Grit, Hurt, Altavista, and to the nations.
The Church & Mission
The church is not a building or a weekend event, but a people who embodied what it means to live in light of who Jesus is and what Jesus has done for us.

And our main mission as a church is to make disciples by going, baptizing, and teaching others to do the same. We do this in the everyday rhythms of life where we work, rest, and play.

Outside of this we intentionally gather together each weekend as family celebrating, worshiping, and sitting under the authority of Scripture during our Sunday Gatherings.

SUNDAY GATHERINGS

>> 10am Sunday School // 11am Worship

Sunday gatherings are the primary way we come together as a church and play a central role in who we are as a community following Jesus.

Through the various elements of our gatherings—prayer, worship through music, preaching and teaching God’s Word, remembering Christ through communion, and creating space to hear from the Holy Spirit—our goal is to glorify Jesus and allow Him to transform our lives

WEDNESDAY BIBLE STUDY & PRAYER GATHERING

>> 6pm Fellowship Hall

We gather on Wednesday evenings to study God’s Word and pray it! Our time together begins with singing a few hymns or spiritual songs, followed by a focused study of Scripture. Afterward, we take time to pray—both over what we have learned and for the needs of our church family and community.

On the first Wednesday of each month at 7 PM, we extend our hearts beyond our walls by visiting Autumn Care Nursing Home to serve our neighbors and friends. It’s a tangible way to live out our faith and bring God’s love into the lives of those in our community.

It has been said, “When we work, we work. When we pray, God works.” We believe God has given us the gift of prayer—a means of communion with Him that advances His kingdom. Jesus Himself, quoting the Old Testament, declares in Matthew 21, “My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.” Today, we understand that each believer and every local church is called to be a house of prayer. With this in mind, our desire is to seek God earnestly and make Him known in all we do.
