Unleashing youth to experience God, love one another, and serve others!

We’re investing in our youth. Our ARISE Youth Ministry exists to be an Accepting, Relational, Intentional, Spiritual, and Empowering space for students from grades 6 through 12. We seek to balance fun with discipleship while thinking outside the box for opportunities like choir, praise band, retreats, mission trips, and more. Through it all, we hope to keep our focus on God and on radical love. We want to help youth discover who God is for themselves and how God can impact their spiritual journey. Our goal is to connect the passions of youth with God’s passions already at work in the world.

Our last Gathering of the semester will be on May 28. Youth Group will return in August.

Just because we’re on a break, doesn’t mean we won’t see you this summer! Here’s how MCC Youth can stay connected this summer:

STUDENT SECTION – Join us every Sunday in the Student Section, a designated area in the sanctuary where we can all sit together during the 9:50 a.m. service, to continue to lean into community and the life of the church.

SECOND SUNDAYS – On the Second Sunday of each month, we’ll offer a summer version of The Gathering in the Youth Center during the 9:50 a.m. service. Make sure you join us on June 11 and July 9… and then August 13 is Promotion Sunday kickoff for the new school year!

FIRST WEDNESDAYS – We’ve got something fun planned for each first Wednesday of the summer months. More info to come, but mark your calendars for June 7, July 5, and August 2!

SUMMER POP-UPS – Keep an eye on our Instagram and Facebook for random opportunities to hang out throughout the summer.
