Three years ago, The One Campaign challenged us to invest in meaningful relationships with those who don’t yet know Jesus. You answered that call wholeheartedly—living missionally, creating a welcoming environment, and partnering with God to reach those around you. As a result, our services quickly grew, and our second service is now near capacity. Throughout the holiday season, we witnessed more people walk through our doors than ever before—some hearing about Jesus for the very first time. Because of your faithfulness in sharing the good news of Jesus and inviting others to church, we are expanding to make room for all that God is doing.

Beginning on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025, we will offer three Sunday morning services at 8:30, 10:00, and 11:30 AM. We need your help to make this happen! Our staff has been approaching this transition as "planting a service." All of our research shows that the middle service will likely be the most popular, so we encourage you to join the mission by committing to either the first or third service for the first year. Talk with your family, life group, and friends about which service you could attend together and contribute to planting. Let’s continue in the spirit of The One Campaign, ensuring there is always room for one more person to experience Jesus!

With the addition of another service, we also need more volunteers to help make the service possible. Many of you have already stepped up—thank you for your willingness! Beginning on February 16th, we will have opportunities on several Sundays for even more of you to get involved, sign up, and find your place to serve. Whether it’s in the Kids Department, Worship and Tech, Hospitality, or elsewhere, we have a place for you! 

I believe 2025 is going to be a big year for MCC. I am so excited to walk through it together, making room for more lives to be transformed by the love of Jesus!
