Outsiders : Countercultural Marriages | | This week, we explore how God designed marriage to reflect His love and how our relationships can point others to Jesus. Through 1 Peter 3:1–7, we learn to love like Jesus through kindness, humility, and grace, valuing inner character over outward appearances and honoring one another as equal heirs in Christ. Whether married, preparing for marriage, or single, we are called to live out a faith that speaks through our actions, even when it costs us. When we love like Jesus at home and in our everyday relationships, our love becomes a powerful witness to a watching world. | | |

God is moving in powerful ways through our church, particularly as we serve our surrounding community and local partners. Recently, we’ve collected 9,683 food drive items and 1,828 Back2School items, donated 70 boxes of diapers and 200 baby supplies, built 100 bed frames for local children, and served over 2,000 students through OGB and Loveland Life. While we have served in so many other ways, this is what it looks like when the church comes together to help people in need.
In Matthew 6:19–20, Jesus reminds us not to store up earthly treasures that fade, but to invest in what lasts for eternity. Your stewardship is changing lives every day, and while so many have already leaned in, we need everyone’s partnership right now. If you haven't yet, this is your call to step up and join us.

Over the past several weeks, the LPCC has spent extended time with each candidate and their spouse, allowing us to get to know them more personally and gain deeper insight into their character, leadership, pastoral heart, and alignment with MCC.
As we prayerfully consider all that we’ve learned, we are seeking God’s wisdom and direction in determining which candidate to present to the congregation for a call to serve as our next Lead Pastor.
We’re grateful for your continued prayers and encouragement throughout this process. Please continue praying with us as we navigate these important next steps.
If you have questions or insights you’d like to share, we’d love to hear from you.
Weekly Prayer Prompt: Pray for wisdom, discernment, and clarity as the LPCC determines whom to present to the congregation as our next Lead Pastor.

This year, we are diving deep into TRUTH. We’re excited to welcome Peter Pizzuto and the Y2B team, who will be leading our main sessions and breakouts. They’ll be tackling tough, crucial questions students face today:
- Identity & Worldview: Who are you? What is truth? Are there moral absolutes?
- Apologetics: What evidence is there that God exists? Is the Bible truly trustworthy?
- Hard Questions: Why is there so much evil in the world?
- Worship Experience: With our new LED Wall and the return of our popular multi-station worship setup on Saturday night, we are creating an incredible environment to encounter God.
- Epic Activities: Zip line, giant swing, bonfires, large group games, sports (basketball, volleyball, Football, Dodgeball, etc), and plenty of hangout time.
- Extras: A coffee trailer, snack shop, t-shirt store, and more!
For 7-12 graders - Cost is $165
