If you are new to Midlands Christian Church, even in the midst of this Coronavirus, we welcome you to Midlands Christian Church! We are so glad that you are interested in learning more about
us. We are a church that is committed to worshiping Christ
and living out His teachings daily. We want to help you
grow in Christ, even during this pandemic, and see
Him work through you to serve the community
around you.
These weeks leading up to Christmas feature a lot of waiting. Kids are waiting for Santa Claus to come down the chimneys. Teen-agers may be waiting to see what their parents will get them for Christmas. Adults are waiting for last-minute sales or for their spouse to give them some idea of what they want for Christmas. We’re all waiting for Christmas.
The church has a name for this season of waiting. The church calls this season “Advent” which stems from the Latin adventus meaning “coming.” Advent is a time of preparation for the coming of the Lord Jesus at Christmas.
During this Advent season, we’ll be following the lectionary passages from the Old Testament prophet Isaiah as we think about “Waiting for Christmas.” In “waiting for Christmas,” we’re really “Waiting for Jesus.” Advent is not only a time to anticipate Christmas, it’s also a time to anticipate Jesus’ return and the peace, righteousness, and security which he will bring.
We invite you to join us in this season of Advent as we learn how Jesus empowers us in our waiting. We invite you to join us for this new series of messages. Hope you will join us on our campus at 1312 West Main in Lexington. If not, please join us on Facebook Live on Sundays at 10:30 a.m.

MCC is worshipping in-person and also streaming our Worship Services

pandemic, the services will also be posted on
our website soon after their completion.
When you choose to worship in-person on campus, please note the following safety precautions:
- Hand sanitation stations are posted at the entrances.
- Masks are available
- No communion or offering trays will be passed (pre-packed communion kits are at each chair; an offering box is on the back wall).
We ask that if you have had any of the following symptoms or exposures within the last week, please continue to worship with us online:
- Contact with anyone confirmed to have COVID-19 (We follow CDC recommendations of 5 days quarantine followed by 5 days mask wearing. The CDC does recommend that the best practice would also include a test at day 5 after exposure.)
- Fever over 100
- Cough and sore throat with shortness of breath
If we have any changes for our church’s gatherings, we will update this webpage.
