About The Mount

The mission of The Mount is radically loving and radically loving as we look to reflect God’s love for us, while we are still far off, to a large post‑industrial town where just 1% of people go to church. We are passionate about reaching the younger generation, creatively sharing our good news with the lost, growing and equipping new disciples and standing up to injustice. Since planting 3‑4 years ago, we have seen exciting growth and we believe Spear will play a big role in our next chapter.
