Morningview Baptist Church

There will be a Business Meeting this Sunday, July 18 at 6:00 p.m.

If you are like most church members, the only business meetings that seem to generate a lot of excitement for you are those that are the most controversial.  When everything is going well in the church, our business meetings are sparsely attended.  This truth leads me to believe that we have come to a place where we take our Continue reading

The pastors body asks that the congregation prayerfully consider Billy Cox and Greg Graham for the office of pastor.  The pastors recommend Greg Graham for another term and Billy Cox for his first term as a pastor.  Please study the pastoral qualifications outlined in 1 Timothy 3, 2 Timothy 2, Titus 1, and 1 Peter 5.  Remember that your vote as a member of the church must be controlled by the Word of Christ, not by personal preference.  There will be a “meet and greet” time for the pastor candidates on Sunday, July 18, from 5pm-6pm in the youth Big Room on the third floor so you can ask any questions and interact with the pastor candidates.  The congregational vote will take place on Sunday morning, July 25.

The Journey of Faith Class is a four-week course designed for children who are interested in knowing what it means to be a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ.  All curious children, K-6th grade, are invited!  This class is especially designed for children who think they have already come to faith in Christ and who are interested in seeking baptism and church membership.  It will help them come to a biblically grounded assurance of salvation.  The Journey of Faith class is prerequisite to any child’s baptism and membership.  We’re also asking that at least one parent attend the class with the child.  Please register for the course by calling the church office at 272-2304 by July 30.  Adult M.I.T. does not begin until September 19th.
