May 6th Ministry Update:
As of May 1st, Idaho is allowing churches to reopen if they adhere to "strict physical distancing, sanitation protocol and any CDC guidance”. Now that our leadership team has been able to investigate the criteria and formulate our plan, we are excited to announce the reopening of the church building on Sunday, May 10th!
That being said, I know that there will be a number of individuals who are not ready or able to begin coming back to services due to health risks. We will be continuing to broadcast our services live at 9:00am through our facebook page at facebook.com/mtnvbc and here on our website in the resources tab. We can also mail DVDs of the worship service upon request.

A few things to keep in mind for worship service:
- If you are in a high-risk category, or have someone in your household who is at high-risk, we encourage you to continue to watch from home for now.
- We are required to keep a distance of 6 feet between household groups, so we will be closing off some of our seating in the auditorium and providing overflow seating in the multipurpose room, where the service will be on a large screen. Ushers will be at the entryway and at the seating areas to help with the new seating arrangements.
- Seating everyone may take additional time, so plan to arrive early if possible.
- We know that many will be eager to talk and connect with friends following the morning service. We encourage you to connect with friends in the parking lot and front lawn to allow the space limitations and avoid congestion points in the church.
- We have some hand sanitizer at the church (a requirement for opening), but our supply is somewhat limited. (That being said, if you have your own hand sanitizer, that will help us maintain the church’s supply.)
- We won’t be passing an offering basket; instead, we will have an offering box.
- Doors will be propped open at the beginning and end of the service to minimize touch points.
- We will only be having the Morning Worship Service at 9:00am. There will be no Sunday School, Coffee Time, Nursery or Children’s Church for the time being.
- Young Adult Group and Men’s Bible Study will be meeting at the church adhering to social distancing, sanitation protocol and CDC guidance.
- Youth Group, Youth Book Studies, and Some Sunday School Classes are meeting via virtual platforms. (Visit the Contacts page to get connected or to ask for more details).
- The AWANA program is canceled for the time being.

Welcome Our name "Mountain View Bible Church" defines who we are ... |
Mountain View -- simply refers to our location here in beautiful Post Falls, Idaho.
Bible -- refers to our teaching. The Bible is important to us. We believe it to be the literal, inerrant Word of God, in which He not only reveals Himself to us, but also reveals His wonderful plan for man's life and destiny. Believing this, we see the infinite value in teaching it, preaching it, and committing ourselves to live by its precepts.
Church -- speaks of our nature -- we are a family of believers. Our fellowship and unity are important to us. Every person who worships with us is of great value to God and to us.
If you don't already have a church home, we extend to you an invitation to join our church family. We would be delighted to have you worship with us. You will find a warm welcome and sound Bible teaching.
A Place for You . . .
To Belong and To Grow
