Who Are We?

Pleasant View is a non-denominational New Testament congregation, part of a worldwide movement to restore the essentials of apostolic Christianity. We endeavor to lead lives of faithfulness and devotion guided by Christ as the divine Son of God and the Bible as the inspired record of God’s revelation. Pleasant View has no headquarters or rule from any outside human source. We are locally self-governing with a staff-led, elder-protected shared leadership.

 We call ourselves Christians. We realize we are not the only Christians but we have no other name.Our authority is God’s Word.

• We ascribe to no man-made creeds.

• The Scriptures are our only rule of faith and practice.

• We allow liberty in opinion in matters where Scriptural revelation does not legislate.

• And we accept the fullest conformity to the clear and uncontested revelation of the Word.

 Those who are committed to membership have submitted to the following New Testament  standards.

• They have believed in and trusted Jesus Christ for salvation. (Jn 14:6)

• They have acknowledged their commitment to Him (Matt 16:16; Rom 10:9).

• They have repented of their past sin and rebellion against God and turned to Him. (Lk 13:3; Acts 2:38)

• They have been immersed into Christ  (Mark 16:16; Rom 6:3-6; Gal 3:27).

• They seek to live a life of Christian steadfastness ( I Cor 15:58).

 Our goal is to be in our time, what Christians in the first century were in faith and service.

• Every first day of the week The Lord’s Supper is made available (Acts 20:7). 

• Our desire is to: Connect people to God, Connect people to one another and to Connect people to service.

• We are simply a body of believers working to restore the vitality of the Christian life in our time and culture.

• We seek to be a 21^st Century church  applying  the 1^st Century message of God’s loving in our time and culture.
