OUR VISION:

To help students take one step closer to Christ

OUR MISSION:

At MCC Students, every student is known, valued, and loved.

We exist to help students grow in their faith, discover their purpose, and live boldly for Jesus.

We provide a safe and welcoming environment where students can build meaningful relationships and ask the hard questions about life and faith. Through teaching, worship, and serving together, we equip students to make a difference in their schools, communities, and the world.

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 gather for an intentional time of worship, a weekly large group message, and then we 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:

Weekly

The front door for middle school students!

This is our time each Sunday to come together as a community to get to know each other and the God we serve. Various media are used to help us engage during our time together: music, videos, skits, games, teachings - whatever helps us take steps closer to Jesus. After the lessons we go into small groups and then into the sanctuary as a group to worship with the rest of MCC.

We meet at 9:30 am and 11:15am in the Student Center at HWY 46 [At 12 PTS campus we encourage students to serve at the 9:30am service and attend the Sunday Student Service at 11:15am] Sunday mornings at MCC is a great opportunity for students in 6th-8th grade to invite their friends to church.
