Mountainview Baptist putting up new church

There’s a new peak on the horizon, as the Mountainview Baptist Church has begun construction of its new church. The new church will house almost three times the space of their current building, and will be adequate for its immediate ministry needs. Plans to expand yet even further are also in the works in case  more room is needed in the future.

The new building has been constructed by volunteer labor, mostly from the membership, but also with outside help from friends of the church. In April and May, local church members put in the foundation and floor decking. Then, in June, the church invited a crew of 12 men (“Craftsmen for Christ”) from other parts of the country to come in for a special “barn-raising” week. In that crew were professional contractors, carpenters and such. Within five days, the walls and roof were in place and half of the shingles were on. The building is now almost completely dried in.
