We are part of Converge Rocky Mountain (formerly the Rocky Mountain Baptist Conference) of Converge Worldwide (formerly the Baptist General Conference), headquartered in Arlington Heights, Illinois. We were founded in May of 1954 and started out closer to town at 340 South St Vrain Avenue as Estes Park Baptist Church, became First Baptist Church of Estes Park a bit later (all where Park Fellowship Church currently is). We began building in 1981 and moved into our present facility in Autumn of 1982, becoming Mountain View Bible Fellowship in late 1997.
