OUR STORY
We are an independent, non-denominational, Bible-based church in Morgantown, West Virginia
OUR STORY
Mountain Heights Church was the first church plant sent by Brookfield Church in Athens, Ohio. Just one year into the planting of Brookfield, God started moving in the hearts of several members that they would one day get to plant a church in West Virginia. As Brookfield grew to a healthy size, and after years of the leadership praying and processing, The Holy Spirit made it clear that they should plant a church in the Fall of 2019.
A team of 34 adults and 9 kids came together to form the beginnings of Mountain Heights Church. The team relocated to Morgantown in the summer of 2019 and services began in the fall.
OUR NAME
In the midst of a season of discerning what this new church might be called, the name Mountain Heights came to mind during a leadership retreat that several pastors were attending. As they processed the idea through prayer and Bible reading, God made it clear that Mountain Heights was to be our name!
Ezekiel 17:22-24 speaks to the promise of Jesus rescuing a diverse group of people from their sins to dwell with God in safety. We hope that God would do just that in Morgantown!
“Thus says the Lord God: 'I myself will take a sprig from the lofty top of the cedar and will set it out. I will break off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I myself will plant it on a high and lofty mountain. On the mountain height of Israel will I plant it, that it may bear branches and produce fruit and become a noble cedar. And under it will dwell every kind of bird; in the shade of its branches birds of every sort will nest. And all the trees of the field shall know that I am the LORD.'”
EZEKIEL 17:22-24A
