We believe children’s and student ministries at MCC support disciple-making the next generation, building them up to spiritual maturity, and equipping them to serve Jesus Christ. We believe the Bible teaches parents are the primary disciple-makers of their children. We offer children’s and student ministries to partner with parents. We want children and students to hear and understand the gospel and then grow and mature in Christian faith.

Sunday Morning

9:00am – DISCIPLESHIP

Pre-school, Sundays (Birth - Kindergarten)

Our Sunday morning pre-school discipleship class is studying “Jesus as the Savior” through the Show Me Jesus curriculum by Great Commission Publications. This 2-year curriculum goes from God’s work in creation, the life and work of Jesus, and the promises of God in scripture. Our goal in this class is to introduce our young children to the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ.

Kids, Sundays (1st-5th Grade)

Our Sunday morning elementary discipleship class is currently working through the Biggest Story by Crossway. This 2-year curriculum will walk our kids from the book of Genesis to Revelation. Our goal in this class is to familiarize our children with the narrative of the Bible and to help them see how each book and story tells us who God is and what He’s done for us.

10:30am – WORSHIP

Preschool

Extended Session is MCC's ministry to preschool children during the Sunday morning worship time. Children Birth-Preschool enjoy a time of learning, play and care during the morning worship time that is designed to prepare them to join their parents in Corporate Worship by the time they enter Kindergarten. You are also more than welcome to keep your young children in the service with you. There is a Parent Room available downstairs in Room 1304. If you go down the stairs in the foyer at the back of the sanctuary, a preschool hall monitor will direct you to the Parent Room. Please feel free to use this room as often as you need it. The service will be streamed to this room so you don’t miss anything, but please also feel free to come back into the worship center once your child calms down. The goal is to train our children to participate in corporate worship. We don’t expect perfection, but hopefully, this is a tool we can use as we make progress.

CHILDREN

Corporate Worship is important to us at MCC. We love having children in our worship services and think it is extremely valuable for families to worship together. The Bible teaches that parents are intended by God to be the greatest spiritual influence in the lives of their children. That is why we believe that one of the most powerful tools in the conversion and discipleship of children is to worship with their parents. We encourage moms and dads to actively parent in the pew and intentionally train their children to participate in corporate worship. We also have a children's worship guide to help your child follow along with the Scripture being preached.

SUNDay evening – 5:30 pm

Awana Children’s Ministry

Awana trains children in knowledge of the Bible and putting it to memory. Kids will start the evening with scripture memorization and Bible teaching, then have game time and participate in an awards ceremony at the end of each night. We hope this ministry will lay a strong foundation of appreciation for God and His Word and enable them to grow in faithful maturity as Christians grow in wisdom. You can register for Awana HERE.

ROOTED STUDENT MINISTRY

Rooted equips middle and high school students (grades 6–12) to know the Word of God, to live for Jesus Christ, and to grow in Christian faith. We want our students to learn why they can trust the Bible, understand what the gospel is, and believe who Jesus is. Rooted meetings include a game or activity, student-led worship music, an engaging Bible lesson, and gender specific small groups. Our adult volunteers love students, and they want our students to become mature followers of Jesus.
