July 1, 2003 started the most recent chapter in the story of MCC
when Steve Malson was hired as pastor (by
congregational call). Pastor Steve came in with a history of church
leadership, and the fit between the strengths/needs of MCC fit wonderfully
with his strengths/needs. Pastor Steve has a clear track record of
conversion growth and MCC is working to become a congregation committed to
introducing Jesus to more people than it ever has before.
Dutch (Dean) Dockter joined the staff at
MCC in 2010 as 11-40 Director.
He oversees and is responsible for ministries involving those who
have grown beyond SonQuest age and their parents
along with young adults and young families. EXPLOSION (youth ministry) has been Dutch’s initial
focus, but in the middle of ’11, watch for new programs aimed at those out
of high school. Dutch is a
Dansville native that has moved from active involvement to staff.
Merilyn Ruthig had been a volunteer
in the SonQuest children’s program for several
years. In the Spring of 2005, the number of kids helped MCC make the
decision to hire Merilyn as a part-time
Children's Ministry Director. The dynamic nature of our children's
ministry would seem to indicate wisdom on the part of our decision makers!
Becky Perrine is MCC's secretary.
Becky puts the pieces together behind the scenes by handling the
administrative tasks of the church and activities.
MCC has a group of Elders who are responsible for overseeing all the
ministries of MCC. You can
find our list of Elders here on the website or contact the church office if
you need to speak to a pastor or Elder. Elders are selected annually by the
congregation in keeping with our constitution.
