Our Mission
1. Experience God at our Weekend Services
Every Sunday, we gather to engage in inspiring worship and hope-filled teaching. It's all designed to help you encounter God and discover a relationship with Him. Whether you're brand new to faith, or you've followed Christ for years, our Sunday services are a place for you and the entire family.
2. Discover your Purpose at Next Step Class
Whether you're new to Christ or you've been a Christian for years, everyone can take a next step in their faith, and the Next Step class helps you to do that. The two-part class teaches you about who we are at Mountain West, how God uniquely gifted you, and how you can get involved.
3. Find Community in Small Groups
We believe real life change happens in the best in the context of community, and our church is made up of small groups. Groups meet weekly in locations all around our city and provide a place for you to connect, grow, and share life with others.
4. Make a Difference in a Hope Team
We believe God has called each of us to make a difference, and our Hope Teams exist to give you that opportunity. It's not about what the church needs, but it's about you fulfilling your purpose by using your God-given abilities to reach others.
The Eight Steps of Discipleship
1. Be KIND to people.
Use everyday relationships to point people toward God.
“Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.” Proverbs 16:24

2. Share your STORY.
You don’t have to have great words, just tell people what Jesus has done for you.
"The Samaritan woman left her water jar beside the well and ran back to the village, telling everyone, 'Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did! Could he possibly be the Messiah?' So the people came streaming from the village to see him." John 4:28-30

3. INVITE people to church.
When you invite your friends, we promise we won’t be weird! We will welcome them and present the gospel clearly.

5. SERVE consistently.
God is giving you an opportunity to be a part of something that He is doing. We want to help you find your calling.

6. Join a SMALL GROUP
We are better together. True life change happens in community with other believers.
"And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.” Acts 2:42-47

7. GIVE generously.
Don't just give—we want you to love our ministry so much that you feel called to fund it. God loves a cheerful giver.
"The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency[b] in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work." 2 Corinthians 9:6-8

8. Make SPIRITUAL DECISIONS.
Salvation, water baptism, and developing daily prayer and Bible reading time.
"And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15
”I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:1-2
