" A divine connection with Pastor John resulted in my opportunity to serve at Mountain Gap. Being the home church of my wife, Lydia, she once said to me "you would fall in love with my church". After I began serving at MGC for my senior internship I quickly realized how right she was. Mountain Gap Church thrives in several capacities but the two that immediately come to my mind are welcoming and Spirit-led.
Welcoming because hardly anyone here is around a stranger for very long and if you have kids you'll catch on quickly to the fact that everyone here will love yours like they love their own. Spirit-led because of the willingness of everyone to serve you and pray with you. You will find diversity here that is united by the Holy Spirit.
I'm so excited and expectant for what is happening here at MGC and I'm grateful to play a small role in the BIG things God is doing here!
Come and check us out and you might just fall in love with us"
