Core Values
Commission
Mission
We believe the mission of God is the rescuing of people from Satan by God through the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. It is the church’s task to go and tell about this mission; that he has ransomed people from every tongue, tribe, people, and nation.
Genesis 12:3; 18:18; 21:17-18; Revelation 5:8-9; 7:9-10
Multiplication
We believe that as the message of Christ’s love is proclaimed, it leads others to come to know him. As a result, the church grows and is expanded to the ends of the earth.
Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:15-17;15:19-20
Leadership Development
We believe that those who follow Christ will also reproduce themselves through a discipling process with others.
2 Timothy 2:2; 1 Corinthians 11:1; Galatians 1:23-24
Community
Unity of the Body
We believe that in order to have community, humility and unity have to be present. Humility and unity give witness to a watching world of our relationship with Christ. Out of the overflow of humility and unity, God’s people are called to be generous and compassionate to those who have physical or spiritual needs.
Acts 2:42-47; 1 Corinthians 12; John 17:20-21; 13:34-35; Luke 10:27; 1 John 4:7-14; Romans 12:9-13
Communication
Word of God
We believe that the Bible is the only inerrant, infallible source where hope, peace, and direction for life and Christ-like-ness is found.
Proverbs 30:5; Psalm 119:9, 11; John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12
Preaching
We believe preaching is the communication between God and man through the power of the Spirit that brings conviction, repentance, faith, and salvation. It is the primary means by which one is saved.
Romans 10:17; 10:14; 2 Timothy 4:2
Prayer
We believe prayer is the conversation between God and man that fosters clarity, conviction, humility, and direction for His people. There is power when God’s people pray.
2 Chronicles 7:14-15, Luke 10:2, Matthew 6:5-13; 7:7- 8; Acts 1:12-14; 6:4
Worship
We believe that worship is done in everything that we do at MCC. In particular, our music seeks to be intentional so that all may worship Him.
Psalm 96:1-3; 150; Colossians 3:16; Ephesians 5:19-20
