NeXT GEN
Raising the Next Generation to Know Jesus
Next Gen at Mountain View creates environments where kids and students can know Jesus, build real friendships, and grow into the leaders God created them to be.
From Early Childhood through High School, everything we do follows the Mountain View strategy:
Celebrate Jesus
Kids and students experience engaging environments where they learn about Jesus, worship together, and grow in their faith.
Connect in Community
Every child and student is placed in a crew where they build friendships and are supported by leaders who know them and care about them.
Contribute to a Cause
We help the next generation discover how they can use their gifts to serve others and make a difference.

What happens on our first visit?
When you arrive on campus, our team will help guide you through the check-in process and show you exactly where your child’s environment is located. We recommend arriving about 15 minutes early so we can get your family checked in and answer any questions you might have.
Where do I go when I arrive?
When you arrive on campus, our Next Gen team will be ready to help guide you and your family to the right environment for your child. You can stop by any NEW HERE area, where our team will help you check in your child and show you exactly where their environment meets. Each age group meets in a specific location on campus, and our team will walk with you if you need help finding your way.
Is Next Gen safe for my child?
Creating a safe environment for your child is one of our highest priorities. All volunteers complete a background check and training process before volunteering in Next Gen. We also use a secure check-in system so only approved guardians can pick up your child after celebration..
What are Crews?
Crews are small groups where kids and students build friendships and connect with consistent leaders who care about them. In crews, they talk about the lesson, ask questions, pray together, and learn how to apply what they’re learning about Jesus to their everyday lives.
What if my child has allergies or special needs?
We want every child to have a great experience. During registration, you will have the opportunity to share important medical, dietary, or special needs information so our team can plan accordingly and care for your child well.
