Here is a Quick Overview of our Monthly Calendar. Click on any event for a
few details. Also, scroll underneath the calendar for more details on current MCC Happenings and ways that you can connect and get involved!
Midlands Christian Church exists to honor God by connecting people to God, others, & service through a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. We welcome you to Midlands Christian Church. We hope each of you experience our Purpose Statement when you worship with MCC. We want to honor God–want to help connect you to God–want you to connect with others at MCC–want to connect you to service. And, we want to do all this as you are growing in your relationship with Jesus Christ.
We hope you are reading your Bible, worshipping with MCC in-person or online, learning from our in-person and Zoom Bible studies, and joining with MCC in other fellowship gatherings. We are here for you.
Our Prayer Ministry is definitely active, with Prayer Partners praying daily! If you want prayer, please contact us via email, phone, or text. We will pray for you. If you wish this shared with the Prayer Ministry, we will. If you are interested in joining the Prayer Ministry, please contact the church via email, phone, or text.
Our Children’s Ministry enjoys Kid’s Quest each week. Children up through 5th grade leave the Worship Center during the message time for an age-appropriate lesson time of their own.
Our Youth Ministry is gathering bi-weekly for study, praying, hanging out, playing games, and growing in our love of Christ TOGETHER!
Please keep praying for each other!
SUNDAYS IN JULY
WELCOME
Welcome to MCC this Sunday morning! We are joining together in-pers0n & virtually this week. If you are unable to join us on campus, please join us online on Facebook Live. If you are not on Facebook, we will post our Worship Service to this website directly after the service.
When you come to MCC, you will find a multi-generational church of people loving & encouraging each other. You’ll find children to those who are in their 90s. We worship & learn together. You’ll also see people in dresses & ties to jeans &
t-shirts. We are all worshipping an awesome Lord!
WORSHIP @ 10:30 A.M.
We are enjoying worship this week in-person & also streaming our Sunday worship service. Each Sunday at 10:30 A.M., we meet in the Worship Center to sing praises to God, share in the Lord’s Supper, and study God’s word together. During the sermon time, children up through 5th grade exit to Kid’s Quest in the education wing for a time of Bible lessons, songs, crafts, games, etc. We invite you to come worship with us!
We are thrilled that we are enjoying Kid’s Quest. We are excited to welcome the children! We look forward to seeing each of you on campus each week

HELPING THE UNHOUSED
We have volunteers who serve the homeless population in various ways. We have some who serve locally by laundering clothes, grocery shopping, and providing direct care for the homeless. We also donate food and supplies to a local women’s shelter, Samaritan’s Well. A basket for donations for the homeless is located in the foyer under the appropriately labeled sign. We update the church regularly on the needs of Samaritan’s Well. The Helping the Homeless Team welcomes you to join in this service. If you are interested, please contact the church office.
MOUNTAIN MISSION SCHOOL
Mountain Mission School is one of the missions we support. We have an adult Bible class that collects money throughout the entire year, and we send this to them before Christmas. These funds help all the children who remain at the orphanage over the holidays to have extra funds for some fun activities. We also send birthday cards to every child at the school, and we have individuals who are committed to praying for these children. They pray for the children who have birthdays during the particular month that we are in. If you would like to help the Mountain Mission School ministry, please contact the church.
LAVIE PREGNANCY CARE CENTER
MCC supports LaVie Pregnancy Care Center every month. We have families who give monthly to LaVie. For every $60 we donate, one ultrasound can be administered. When the mothers-to-be are presented with their ultrasound and see a picture of their child, most choose to continue on with their pregnancies. We also
support LaVie by donating a variety of gifts that will be useful to a new mom-strollers, carseats, etc.
We donated 12 car seats, then we had a tremendous baby shower for a pregnant LaVie
mom, then donated car seats again as that was a desperate need for LaVie.
Please join us in supporting these young mothers and their children.
MISSION LEXINGTON
MCC is committed to serve in the Mission Store at Mission Lexington. There are numerous ways to serve. We clean the store, straighten the aisles, staff the cash register, process donations, and organize bags. We’d love for you to join us in this ministry to the community. If you are interested in helping, please check out their website and click on volunteering. We also have a donation basket in the foyer if you would like to donate food supplies or items for their Thrift Store.
CANCER CARE MINISTRY
MCC’s Cancer Care Ministry exists to be an encouragement to those suffering from cancer as well as to those who have family members battling cancer. Also, we want to be a source of information about cancer
to others. Come join us as we continue to grow this ministry.
CONNECT-LUNCH
MCC’s Activities and Outreach Ministry hosts an opportunity for fellowship, Connect-Lunch.
Approximately every other month, a restaurant will be chosen and EVERYONE
who would like to join the fun will go out to eat together after church.
