The latest happenings for you & your family at MVPC
HS Forest Home
Summer Camp at Forest Home is designed to challenge, encourage, and engage junior high and high school students. Each activity during the week is purposefully planned to get them out of their normal routines and challenge them into something more significant, more adventurous, and more intentional!
Campers will enjoy living in community, making new friends, and creating memories that will give them confidence as they navigate the changes and challenges that middle school and high school brings.
Jr. Fun & Arts Camp
JFA is the perfect place for kids to explore their creativity, try new skills, and have a blast with friends! Open to kids ages 3 (potty trained) through completed 5th grade, this camp is a lighthearted introduction to a variety of art forms. From crafting to cooking, drama to dance, and everything in between, there’s something for everyone!
JFA is FULL. We do not have any additional room for more campers.
Caregiver Support Group
Are you a caregiver who feels overwhelmed, anxious, or isolated? Just know that you are not alone! We have a Caregivers Support Group, which meets monthly on the second Thursday. We are currently reading and discussing the book “Loving Someone Who Has Dementia” by Pauline Boss. If you are interested in attending or for more information, please email Pastor Lyn at lync@mtviewpres.org.

Discovery Bible Study Begins
Join Pastor Kirk Sexton for a summer Discovery Bible Study, a simple yet powerful approach to engaging with scripture in community. Each week, we’ll explore a Bible passage together using open-ended questions that help us discover what the text says, what it means, and how we can live it out. Whether you’re new to reading the Bible or looking to deepen your discipleship, this study offers an inviting space to grow in faith and obedience to Jesus. Come ready to listen, share, and be transformed by God’s Word.
All are welcome. No prior experience necessary—just bring a Bible, notebook, and a heart ready to learn.
Vacation Bible School
Get ready for an out-of-this-world adventure at Galaxy Explorers VBS! Kids will blast off into an exciting week of fun as they discover how they are called to shine God’s light in the world. Through Bible stories, music, crafts, games, and snacks, we’ll explore the incredible truth that even the smallest light can shine brightly for Jesus!
