To know Him and make Him known through discipleship: teaching and nurturing the covenant community to glorify God in their daily lives and to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
At MRC we are committed to the life-long process of becoming more and more like Jesus so that our lives can honor and glorify God. Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. Matthew 5: 16
Sunday School
We have Sunday School classes for all ages from 3 years old through adult. Our Sunday School meets from the second Sunday in September through the second Sunday in June. Children from 8th grade down begin the Sunday School hour with a time of singing, and occasionally sing as our Junior Choir in our worship services.
Our adult Sunday School class, called Adult Nuture, is an informal discussion group. Volunteers take turns leading the class on topics that range from study of specific books of the Bible to contemporary issues and their relation to our Christian faith.
Junior Youth Group (JYG)
This year our focus will be on the church’s mission statement: to know God’s love through Christ and to make that love known to others. youth in grades 6 through 8 meet twice a month. One meeting is designed to center on DISCIPLESHIP and MISSION. We share a Bible devotion and participate in a service project. The other meeting is designed to center on FELLOWSHIP. We encourage the JYG to attend Sunday School and worship on Sunday.
Senior Youth Group (SYG)
Whether you’re in the band or on a sports team, in musical theater, or on the honor roll, the SYG at MRC is a place where you’ll feel welcome.
We are a fellowship and service-oriented group of Senior High students (grades 9 – 12). Some Sunday nights are full of fun, food and laughs. Other Sundays focus more on serious discussion, on service, or on how we can create stronger ties with our community. Whatever we are doing, the MRC SYG is a place where we connect with each other under the umbrella of Christ’s love in an atmosphere without cliques and without judgment. Come join us — you’ll see what we mean.
Vacation Bible School
VBS is held during the first full week of August each year. Open to children 5 years old through 6th grade, we enjoy a week of Bible lessons, crafts, singing, games and refreshments in the exciting atmosphere of festively decorated buildings and grounds. Each year our VBS offerings support other ministries reaching out to children both locally and internationally.
Women’s Bible Study
Women are invited to share in the monthly Women’s Bible Study. They meet on the third or fourth Sunday of the month at 7:00 p.m. Currently the group is studying Genesis.
