The instrumental beforehand started with an arrangement of "God so loved the world" from Stainer's "Crucifixion".
Also fwiw, Mountain View Presbyterian Church was organized as a congregation of the Presbytery of Grand Canyon in the late 1970s. The presbytery dismissed the congregation from the PC(USA) to ECO in 2017. I could be quite wrong, but I think almost all of ECO’s 350+ churches are churches that left the PC(USA), rather than being new churches started by existing ECO churches or presbyteries. Not that they aren’t likely to start new congregations; I just don’t think there’s been much of that so far, as the denomination isn’t yet 10 years old.
But lest we allow pedantry to sidetrack us, I've changed the name in the Denominations table of the software.
