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

Here at MCC, we are committed to investing in our Middle School & High School students. Our Youth Ministry exists to provide a safe space for every student to experience Acceptance, Relationship, Intentionality, Spirituality, and Empowerment. We seek to foster discipleship through engaging programs and opportunities – Youth Small Groups, student worship, retreats, mission trips, serving and leadership opportunities, and much more. We strive to be a place where every student can come as they are and discover who God is for themselves to establish a relationship with God that impacts not only their own spiritual journey but every area of their lives. Our goal is to connect the passions of our youth with God’s passions to extend the radical love of God to our world.

Join us every Sunday morning at 9:50 a.m. for The Gathering, a youth-focused worship service, in the ARISE Youth Center.

On Sunday evenings during the school year, we offer Sunday Night Youth with dinner at 6 p.m. and Life Groups at 6:30 p.m.
