It may be hard to feel optimistic right now if you are dealing with the death of someone close. The grief support group at Mountain View can help. We use a format and curriculum that has been approved by churches across the country. It’s called GriefShare, and it’s available to you whether or not you’re part of the Mountain View church family - whether your loved one died recently or sometime ago. You can join GriefShare anytime during the 14-week series and catch up on missed sessions when the next cycle begins.
Don’t grieve alone. GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. In a highly confidential and facilitator-led setting, you’ll have a chance each session to check in with others. Those who wish can openly share their concerns, setbacks and progress.
Visit www.griefshare.org for other grief support resources, daily email encouragement and locations and times of other GriefShare groups. You can also contact Mountain View's office for more information.

DAN JONES | co-Pastor
dan@mtvpc.org
I first came to Mountain View in 2015 with my best friend and wife Sara. Since joining the Mountain View family, God has blessed us with FOUR vivacious daughters. Our oldest daughter, Nora, was born in 2015, our second daughter, Ingrid, was born in 2017, and Luna and Zoe (who are identical twins) joined us in December of 2021. As you can imagine, I spend a great deal of my time playing hide and seek and having tea parties. I love being a dad! I also count it a great privilege to serve Mountain View as a pastor. Following Jesus is incredibly fulfilling, and I am especially passionate about bringing the hope-filled story of scripture to life for people. I consider myself a life-long learner, I am currently finishing up my Doctor of Ministry degree from Asbury Theological Seminary with a focus on biblical preaching and leadership. I earned my Master of Divinity degree from Fuller Theological Seminary, and I attended Seattle Pacific University with an undergraduate degree in Educational Ministry. In my free time, I enjoy reading (especially biographies and works of theology), watching inspiring or thought-provoking movies, and being with people. I believe everyone has a story to tell and I would love to hear yours over a cup of coffee or tea.

His performances tell stories and take audiences on a journey. He was recently awarded the Whatcom Peace Builder Award as well as the Ken Gass Community Building award for his “Breaking Silence” project, about the abuse, indignities, and harm done to women. "It’s not for the faint of heart, but it’s a concert that must be heard. My duty as an artist is to augment the lives of my ensemble members as well as to inspire, educate, challenge and entertain my audience.”
With a passion for education and lifelong learning, Willetts is a frequent adjudicator and clinician throughout the Pacific Northwest and describes those events as, “My absolute favorite thing to do!” When not working with choirs and orchestras, Dustin can be found performing as an instrumentalist (saxophone, guitar, and percussion) for various shows and sessions.
