2030 VISION:
As we live out our mission and shared core-values, we see a church that is welcoming and messy—to people of all generations and backgrounds, where people can explore, connect, and grow in a faith and life in Jesus—where children fill the foyer with laughter and people connect through conversations and prayer. We see a church that unapologetically teaches and aligns itself with the timeless truth of Scripture—meeting people wherever they are at—and actively equipping them to THINK, LOVE, and LIVE like Jesus. This will be a church filled with new believer classes, equipping marriages, parenting, and instructing on Biblical finances—and so much more. We see a church where authentic community is lived out in 100% participation in life groups—where real, life-on-life ministry, care, study, and discipleship take place.
This means we are a church that pursues health, built on the healthy structures and roles in Scripture—where we tear down the pedestals of position—and will be a church where everyone takes on their part—knowing their identity and value in Christ and live out their unique gifting and skills for the Kingdom of God. Where the young take vital roles of leadership, parents confidently discipling their children and engaging in family ministry and service opportunities, and the different generations connecting and pouring into one another. By living this—we see a church that has 100% of our graduating students equipped to continue a life in faith through college, where the divorce rate and suicide rates are reduced by 20% in our community through the ministries of Mountainview.
We see a church that impacts our South Denver in real and tangible ways—working with like-minded local churches to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community. We see a church where our community knows us to meet and care for them in their darkest of seasons and greatest needs. We actively connect the unconnected and see the unseen. For us to have this kind of impact, all of our people will know and live that the church is not the building, but all people saved through faith in Jesus—and each person seeing themselves as a missionary, on mission, representing and sharing Jesus—right where God has placed them—dependent on the Holy Spirit for opportunities and the words to connect people to the hope and truth of Jesus. We see a church that shares the gospel with over 2000 people in the next five years coming from the mouths of those at Mountainview, and pray for hundreds of people to come to faith in Jesus and celebrate their public baptism. We see a church where the seeker finds answers, the broken find wholeness, the weary find refuge, and each person experiences the abundant, powerful, and victorious life in Jesus.
We see a church that impacts our world through strategic global partnerships in five of the seven continents around the world. We see our partners being a part of our church family—being supported through greater prayer, love, encouragement, team-sending, and finances. We see a church where 50% of those in our community engage in local or global missions over the next five years—as we equip, build up, and encourage the global Church.
We see a church that steps into radical generosity—stewarding and giving God their best—through our time, focus, service, and finances—in response to the radical generosity that He lavishes on us. This generosity is not just seen toward the church—but flows from the church—into our community and our missions partners around the world. In the next five years, we see a church that is actively pursuing a plan to become 100% debt free, stewarding the resources of our building, finances, and most importantly our people with integrity and transparency—all for glory and fame of our God.
