Mountain View Baptist Church has partnered with Morgan Grace Fellowship for almost a year now. The people of MVBC have come along side this new church plant financially; but, more importantly in prayer and participation. God is blessing Morgan Grace in so many ways.
Several new families have visited Morgan Grace for worship recently. Pastor Jeff Hurlbut and others have prayed over these people. They are asking God to bring people to Morgan Grace who have a desire to reach Morgan, Utah, for Christ. Over 40 people worshipped at Morgan Grace Easter Sunday. Children's worship has been added. MVBC members, Gary and Naomi McKean, have committed to Morgan Grace for a time to help them develop a Sunday School. Naomi is teaching the children, and Gary began a six-week study for adults on April 7. The study outlines the basic tenets of Baptist doctrine and Christianity. At the end of those six weeks, there will be a recognition service for the charter members and the first invitation for people to become official members of Morgan Grace Fellowship

Morgan Grace has been granted permission for "release time," by the school district. And, Pastor Jeff, who started working full-time for the school district in March, has been grants permission to adjust his work schedule to be available during that time. This release time will begin in the fall and will be during first period. Morgan Grace asks for prayer as they develop curriculum and recruit leaders for this Christian education opportunity. A specific prayer request is for transportation to get the students to the school after the classes.
