This week, Sean and Marlis talk to Shane Finley, the lead pastor of a local Church Plant, Mountain View Fellowship in Heber City, UT. While we normally interview small business owners, we thought that MVF Church would show some of the business sides to running a church that most people don’t think about.
We were able to record this outside, while looking out on the beautiful Wasatch Mountains. However, that does mean there might be some sound interference, particularly from the wind. We hope you enjoy hearing about Shanes journey, and go to EFCA.org for more information on Church Planting.
