Bake sales, sales of fancy work, teas, suppers, and fashion shows were held. Bricks were sold. Banquets were catered to raise money for the building of the church. One enterprising group even wrote and performed a play which they “took on the road” to raise money. On June 1, 1953, the cornerstone was laid, and the vision became a reality. Soon a very active congregation was worshiping in the new building. This same vision and enthusiasm is still evident today in the Mountain View United congregation as we carry out our vision and plan for the future.
The following purpose statement, developed by the congregation, is used to measure everything we do. It states:
Share the love of God
Care for others
Act with a spirit of cooperation
Reach out to the community
Feed physical and spiritual hunger
All are welcome to come and be a part of the “Mountain View experience”.
