MOUNTAIN VIEW UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

What MOUNTAIN VIEW UNITED METHODIST CHURCH does

Mountain View United Methodist Church is a local nonprofit congregation of the United Methodist Church located at 901 S. 12th Street in Cottonwood, Arizona, serving the Verde Valley region. Founded approximately 100 years ago, it operates with a staff of 27 and is led by Pastor Jonathan Hall, supported by a rotation of preachers and guest speakers. The church's core programming consists of weekly Sunday worship services at 9:30am and adult Sunday School at 8:30am, with online livestreaming of services via a YouTube channel to enable remote participation. It also practices the two UMC sacraments — baptism and open communion — and maintains an online sermon archive.

The church operates a portfolio of community outreach programs in addition to its worship services. These include a food bank providing essential items to local residents, a weekly Picnic in the Park free meal program held every Friday, support for the local Meals on Wheels chapter (including volunteer drivers and dedicated monthly offerings), a Back to School supply drive in partnership with Old Town Mission, and ministries for women (United Women in Faith) and men (United Methodist Men). The men's ministry also supports a cross-border partnership with a church in Sonoyta, Mexico, and fair trade coffee sales. Fundraising is conducted through an annual Angels' Attic Craft Sale, with proceeds directed toward operational needs such as parking lot paving and sound equipment. The church uses a Breeze ChMS prayer request form and maintains Facebook (@mtviewaz) and Instagram (@mountainviewaz) accounts alongside its website (mountainviewaz.org).

The church is funded entirely through voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members, with both in-person collection and online giving available. It is affiliated with the Desert Southwest Conference of the United Methodist Church, a global denomination of approximately 33,000 churches and 12.5 million followers. As a religious nonprofit, it does not charge for worship, education, or community programs; charitable contributions for specific causes are accepted on a voluntary basis. Office hours are Tuesday through Thursday from 9am to 3pm.
