History
Briefly, in 1980, Meadowridge Baptist Church started a church planting work in the Lakeside area. The Fellowship was constituted later the same year and in 1983 was constituted as Lakeside Baptist Church. In 1988, as part of their 25th Anniversary celebrations, Meadowridge Baptist Church started a work in the Kirstenhof / Tokai area. The Fellowship was constituted in November 1989 and in April 1991 was constituted as Mountain View Baptist Church. The two churches amalgamated on 28 April 1993 and agreed to be known as Mountain View Baptist Church. Worship services were held in a variety of venues until April 1999. It was then that both morning and evening services were moved to the Lakeside Chapel, which was purchased in 1998 and extensively renovated and redecorated. We are a member church of the Baptist Union of Southern Africa and our current membership stands at 100 members.

Beliefs
The Bible
That the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments in their original writings are the fully inspired and authoritative word of God and accepts them as the final authority for faith and life.
Trinity
In one God eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Salvation
That the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, a substitutionary sacrifice, according to the Scriptures, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.
Jesus
In the bodily Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, His Ascension into heaven, and His present life as our High Priest and Advocate. We firmly believe in the personal return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Baptism and Communion
hat the Lord Jesus Christ appointed two ordinances – Baptism and Communion to be observed as acts of obedience and as perpetual witnesses to the cardinal facts of the Christian faith. That Baptism is the immersion of the believer in water as a confession of identification with Christ in burial and resurrection, and that Communion is the partaking of bread and wine as symbolic of the Saviour’s broken body and shed blood, in remembrance of His sacrificial death till He comes.
Calling
In the priesthood of all believers.
