Our History

Mountain View Lutheran Church was founded in 1957 near downtown Las Vegas. After moving to Charleston and Decatur, the congregation thrived, and by 1991 voted to add a preschool. Together, the church and preschool quickly outgrew the Decatur location.

Only three years after opening the preschool's doors, the decision was made to break ground on a new church and school campus. The new (and current) location opened in 1997, with the intention to start an elementary school. A supportive church congregation held services in the new gymnasium until the current sanctuary was constructed, centered around a vast stained-glass window impossible for passers-by to miss when driving down West Cheyenne Ave. School bells signaled the first day for our inaugural Kindergarten class in August of 1998. Each new year added another grade to the school until that initial class graduated fifth grade.

Through thoughtful prayer, dedication, and generous giving from our congregation Mountain View Lutheran Church and School began remodeling the campus in April of 2022! With excited and grateful hearts we look to the future of what God has planned for our community as we move FORWARD IN FREEDOM!
