Mountain View Chapel – Stanardsville, VA
There will be no service tomorrow, February 7th, due to the weather.
This stone chapel is the launching site for Central Virginia’s newest Church Family.
Located at 5909 Spotswood Trail, Stanardsville, VA at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Please pray with us as we look for another location for our public meetings. God’s blessings and God’s provision go hand in hand. We are trusting Him for both.

An Important Message from Tim and Lori:
It has been an incredible privilege for Lori and I to assist with the establishment of the Mountain View Chapel family. We have all worked together to experience the beauty of Christ’s church. We are a family of followers. It is now time for Lori and I to make our transition out of the leadership roles that we have embraced for the last couple of years. We have strived to model servant leadership. We have done our best to show each and every person the way of Christ. We are so very proud of our brothers and sisters in Christ who have embraced the call to love God and love others. We have been so blessed to walk a special path with the MVC family.
Lori and I feel that we have accomplished what God has asked of us. We have helped to lay the foundation. Throughout this process, I have been able to walk the path of lead pastor and I do not feel that this is what I am designed to do on a long term basis. It has been a privilege to serve God in this capacity. I have learned so very much. We have and continue to learn together. We are learning to experience God’s best for our lives.
The Duggins family has had a dream for a number of years. We have been praying together as the dream is much bigger than what we can accomplish on our own as a family. We must have God’s help as well as the assistance of others. CLICK HERE to read the vision.
God has given us something special together. We will continue to walk by faith. We will encourage one another to love and good works. Lori and I are so encouraged by the growth and maturity of the family.
Thank you so very much for loving and affirming the Duggins family. We are grateful for your friendship.
Tim and Lori Duggins

Jesus used very real and very normal life situations to direct His disciples to deeper spiritual truths. The teaching style at the chapel is very visual and sometimes very hands-on. If an eight to ten year old can get something out of the lesson then everyone has a chance at learning.
Below is a grouping of pictures that illustrate how we worked through the Biblical challenge to be filled with the fullness of God. Thomas was the main helper for the morning. He was charged with putting different amounts of stone and rock in the various sized glass containers. He was fully engaged in the task at hand as you can see.
Thomas was scooping out of wheelbarrow that contained the stone and rock.
The crowd got a big laugh out of Tom getting the smallest container. The stone stuck out the top of the small cup.
Jeff was charged with filling the containers with water after people emptied the stones of their choosing from their containers. He is pictured here filling Anya’s container.
Jars of various sizes with different levels of water to illustrate: – Filled With the Fullness of God
When the church family has discussions about what we have been studying during our public meetings on Sunday, it is amazing to see how many lesson themes roll off their tongues. They so easily remember the visuals. If “a picture is truly worth a thousand words” then we will continue to give people a visual image of the eternal truth that God is helping us grasp. The teaching during the public meeting is designed to challenge and encourage people to seek God and learn His ways as they are imperative for our lives. The goal is not to give every verse or every single perspective from the Bible regarding the subject matter. Practical and real just as God wants us to walk with Him 24/7.
