MINISTRY APPRENTICESHIP

In Cooperation with Fellowship Pacific and Northwest College & Seminary, the Ministry Apprenticeship is for people sensing or exploring a call to vocational or lay leadership in the Church who are ready to do the academic, spiritual, and practical preparation for it.


Mountainview provides the ministry context, Northwest College & Seminary brings the academic framework, and Fellowship Pacific brings the broader mentor team. Together, we want to raise up faithful leaders: people of character, rooted in Scripture, formed by grace, and ready for the long obedience of ministry calling.


Thank you for your commitment to Christ and to Mountainview Church. We look forward to walking with you in the work of preparing for ministry leadership as together we equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ. (Ephesians 4:12)
