Music & Worship Arts
Worship is a response of the whole person to the presence of God. It calls out the highest expressions of the human intellect and emotions. It stirs our imagination and engages our creativity. Throughout history, worship has been the catalyst for the greatest music, visual and dramatic arts. Mountain View seeks to continue that heritage in fresh and passionate ways. And while the worship of God can and should challenge the genius of the most talented among us, it remains the one thing every man, woman and child should participate in. So whether you are a musician or artist looking for a place to serve, a parent desiring to develop your child as a worshipper, or just an “average person” looking to deepen your worship, Mountain View's Worship Ministries are here for you.
