Out Of Our Minds : Share The Gospel

The gospel transforms every part of our lives through Jesus and His promise to make all things new. As followers of Jesus, we are called to know Him, live like Him, and love like Him. We don’t keep this good news to ourselves—we share the hope of Jesus through our words, stories, and actions. This week, we ask the Holy Spirit to guide us to someone who needs to hear the gospel.

Lead Pastor Updates

We are beginning additional candidate assessments and preparing for third-round interviews. These next steps will allow us to learn more about each candidate’s leadership, character, ministry experience, and fit with MCC, while continuing to explore areas more deeply through conversation and assessment tools.

We’re grateful for God’s continued guidance throughout this process and for your faithful prayers. Please continue praying for wisdom, clarity, and unity for the LPCC and for each candidate and their family as they discern God’s leading as well.

If you have questions or insights you'd like to share, we'd love to hear from you.

Weekly Prayer Prompt: Pray for wisdom and clarity for both the LPCC and our candidates as we discern God’s leading in these next steps.

Night of Worship & Documentary Showing - September 30

We celebrated Pastor Phil and Carol for their time here. Now let’s look back so we can look forward. This is a special night celebrating MCC as a church. Inspired by the "wise builder" in Matthew 7:24–27, this is the story of a church family built on the Rock—a body of believers constructed on a firm foundation that has faithfully withstood trials, transition, and even a tornado meant to tear down the house of the Lord.
