Small groups
We believe we're meant to love each other, and that happens when we're together in a community. This is where we learn about God, share doubts, get support from other Christians, and build connections for doing life together.
In 2023 MCC finished a 31-week series using The Story - a narrative version of the Bible. Additionally, in the Fall, small groups went through an additional study together called Seven Realities for Experiencing God.

In addition, our kids raised thousands of dollars to purchase mosquito nets for other children around the world! Treasured, is sure to be remembered as the Best Week Of Every Kids Year in 2023! Thank you for your prayers and support!

54 Students and 25 adults combined their strengths to provide free home repairs for 6 local homeowners who were physically or financially unable to make needed repairs. They were separated into 6 work teams, a kitchen team, a program team and a worship team that served our 12 Points Community for 5 days!
