Who are we?

We are young, but we are known for so much more than being young. We carry a passion and a hope for what is to come and what should be.

MCC Students is more than a gathering of students, it is a movement birthed out of Maryland Community Church with the goal of helping students take one step closer to Christ.

We are a COMMUNITY of Students following CHRIST
and serving in His CAUSE.

We believe that MCC Students could be the most influential force in our schools and community, so we are set on challenging every student to take their next steps in their faith journey however the spirit leads. We do this through weekly small groups and worship, weekend worship experiences, serving opportunities, and life changing special events and retreats for students in grades 6th-12th.

Thanks for stopping by and checking us out!

What are Small Groups?

Here at MCC Students, small groups are the life blood of our ministry. We believe that life is best done in circles and not rows. By this, we mean that we are a big believer in community and that faith best grows when done with other people.

Our identity is that: We are a COMMUNITY of STUDENTS following CHRIST and serving in HIS CAUSE.

Each week students will gather for an intentional time of worship, a weekly “Refresher” of our Sunday Message Series, and then split into gender and grade level for small groups.

Each small groups is equipped with trained small group leaders who will love and help lead your student to take one step closer to Christ. Below is a list of current small groups:

• 6th Grade Boys
• 6th Grade Girls
