We believe everyone can find their place at Mountainside Church. Our church is a dynamic family-focused church that is home to authentic people of all ages and from all walks of life known for their transparency, integrity, and sincerity of heart. A community of faith exists for the purpose of worship. No matter the style, worship is our personal response to God’s sovereignty and blessings in our lives. There are many different opportunities for you to enter into the presence of God throughout the week. Please join us!

We welcome and enjoy children being a part of our service, but sometimes they become restless. Our Quiet Room is available to you at any time. There is a TV monitor that streams our service so that you can still participate. The Quiet Room also has a changing station, rocking chairs, and age-appropriate toys for infants and toddlers. One of our ushers would be happy to assist you if needed.

Mountainside hosts a variety of small group opportunities for every age and stage of faith development. Our small groups are very similar to a traditional Sunday School format. The difference is that the majority of our small groups do not meet on Sunday mornings; we meet during the week in homes, restaurants, even on the golf course!

Throughout the year, small groups are available for women and  men. Please call the church office at 501-922-2626 for a current schedule of small group activities and locations.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God.” –Philippians 4:6

 Our Prayer Room offers an opportunity to send your praise/prayer request to God. Confidentiality is honored with each request. To submit your prayer request, please call the church office at 501-922-2626 or fill out a communication card at our Sunday worship service.

The art of welcoming is a vital part of making people feel welcome. At Mountainside we strive to make each and every person feel welcome and at home. One of our primary volunteer roles is on Sunday morning as our Hospitality Team greets each person with a warm “hello”. Fresh coffee and pastries are always ready by 9 a.m. for our “Fellowship Time.” Volunteers are needed weekly to make this vital ministry a success. Call the church office at 501-922-2626 and we can connect you with our Hospitality Coordinators.

The Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual renewal program that has, as its purpose, to strengthen the local church through the development of Christian disciples and leaders.

The Walk to Emmaus is a 72-hour weekend course in Christianity. The weekend is comprised of fifteen talks by other Christians – lay and clergy – on the themes of God’s grace, disciplines of Christian discipleship, and what it means to be the church – the body of Christ. You will spend time in prayer, in worship, and in the daily celebration of Holy Communion. The Emmaus Walk typically begins Thursday evening and concludes early Sunday evening. Men and women attend separate weekends.

During and after the three days, participants will be encouraged to meet regularly in accountability groups. This three-day Emmaus experience, as well as the accountability groups, strengthen and renew Christian people as disciples of Jesus Christ and as active members of the body of Christ in mission to the world.

The Walk’s purpose is to develop leaders for the local church. This experience will motivate, transform, inspire, challenge, and equip you for Christian action and ministry in your home, your church, your workplace, and your life!

Absolutely! The Walk to Emmaus is open to members of any Christian denomination. The only requirements are: to be a member of a local church; to have a desire to deepen and grow in your spiritual journey; to understand that being a Christian involves responsibility; and have the willingness to give your life to God daily.

Feel free to contact our pastor if you have questions or would like to attend. All “pilgrims” – those who are attending a walk – are sponsored by a member of the “Emmaus community” – those who have completed a walk and are actively living out their Christian witness through the local church and community. Our pastor can get you connected to one of these following local persons.

The group is offered year round and led by Peggy Hadley and The Angel Team. Their study is based on the book Moving On After Moving In by Susan Miller. Susan’s many experiences with relocation developed her desire to help women facing similar challenges. After the Boxes are Unpacked: Moving On After Moving In is the result of this desire.

Transitions of every size and shape knock at our doors throughout the seasons of life and this study is designed to encourage women that they are not alone during these transitions. This will give you the tools you need to survive the transitions of life. If you are in transition and in a new and unfamiliar place, this is the group for you! Contact the church office at 501-922-2626 to get information about our next class!
