OUR STORY
On October 17, 2010, Mountain View Baptist Church had their first gathering at Yucaipa Elementary School. Three years later, God opened an amazing opportunity for them to purchase their own property in Calimesa. Mountain View has since grown in number and depth as a church. MVBC is grateful for what the Lord has done in their past, but they believe the greatest days are ahead.
We invite you to consider joining us on this journey as we pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ! Discover what God has for you at Mountain View!
BELIEFS
-
Sovereign GodThere is one living and true God. He is the Creator and the supreme Ruler of Heaven and earth in holiness and alone is worthy of our worship. In the unity of the Godhead, there are three persons; The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, equal in every divine perfection and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption. Exodus 20:2-3; Revelation 4:11; 1 Corinthians 8:6; 1 John 5:7
-
The SonJesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God the Father and in a miraculous manner was born of the virgin Mary. He is both fully God and fully man. He took upon Himself our nature, yet without sin, and by His death and resurrection made a full substitutionary atonement for our sins. Jesus is the only way to Heaven and the only mediator between God and man. Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:27; John 1:14
-
SalvationThe salvation of sinners is wholly by grace apart from works, through the death and resurrection of the perfect “Lamb of GOD,” Jesus Christ, who substituted Himself for us by taking the penalty for our sins. This satisfied the demands of the Holy God, thus justifying the repentant sinner. Furthermore, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the only condition of salvation.Ephesians 2:8; 1 John 4:10; Romans 3:24-27; 5:1-9; 2 Corinthians 5:21
-
The Holy SpiritThe Holy Spirit dwells in all believers, conforming them to the image of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit sanctifies, or sets us apart, to fulfill God purpose for our lives. The Holy Spirit comes within you when you accept Christ into your heart. 1 Corinthians 12:13; Romans 8:16-17
-
ScriptureThe Holy Bible is inspired by God and is the product of Spirit-controlled men; therefore it is the absolute truth without any error in its content. We accept a literal interpretation and believe the Bible to be relevant for today as the guide for what we believe and how we live. 1 Timothy 2:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21

GOSPEL
A personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the most significant relationship we can have. To know Christ and to make Him known is the heartbeat of Mountain View. Below are some verses that outline the way of Salvation. I trust this will be a help to you.

PASTOR NEWTON
Raised in Augusta, Georgia, Pastor William Newton received Christ as his Savior, at the age of 13, and had a desire to serve the Lord. He went to Bible college where he received his Bachelors in Pastoral Theology, Masters in Church Administration, and a Doctorate in Biblical Counseling. While attending college he met his wife, Holly. Together they served the Lord, in various ministries at their Bible college and at that time decided to serve the Lord for the rest of their lives. After college, they were married and began to serve the Lord faithfully, as a couple, in Kentucky. God has led them to pastor Mountain View Baptist Church in the beautiful city of Calimesa, California. Together, they serve the people of Riverside County, along with their children, Danielle and Alexander. Their goal is to share the love of Christ to the lost, help those in need, and be a blessing to all who cross their path.
