MCC Youth

Youth and Family Ministries

When you attend church, your desire is for your kids to learn. Here at MCC, we are working hard to make “church” a place where kids can come to learn and grow in a fun and relevant environment. So, put aside any memories that you might have of your church experience as a kid, and get ready to join us on a whole new adventure!

MCC offers everything a kid could want at church. From infants through high school, your kids can enjoy music, art, games, discussion groups, and creative biblical teaching on a weekly basis.

Your kids will:

Be greeted by friendly faces
Make great friends
Interact with caring teachers and leaders
Enjoy a learning and singing time that includes drama, music, video, puppets, games, and more
Learn about Jesus
Be encouraged and equipped to serve others

Below are descriptions of the ministries for each age group:

Nursery

The Nursery is a special place that has been set aside for the youngest children (0 -1 year olds). Each week during the adult worship services, a team of trained volunteers provide quality care for children in this age group.

Early Childhood

Children ages 2 – 5 years old get to experience a program designed especially for them! Each week is packed full of objects for the kids to touch, wild and wiggly activities to get them moving, crafts that they will love getting into, and real life situations they can relate to. Our goal for these kids is to give them a “First Look” at the God who loves them, made them, and wants to be their forever friend. These kids are encouraged to openly communicate with God in their own words while developing their ability to know and worship Him. These groups meet weekly during both adult worship services.

SonQuest

SonQuest is the children's ministry that serves kids who are in grades K-5. Each week we “do whatever it takes” to create a learning experience that captivates each child's attention, challenges his or her thinking and inspires life-change as they take their next steps in Christ. Our goal is for SonQuest to become “the best hour of every kid’s week!” SonQuest meets every Sunday during both adult worship services.

ConFusion

ConFusion is a ministry designed for Junior High Students (Grades 6th-8th). It is a great place to learn how to walk more closely with God, to begin and grow a deepening relationship with Jesus Christ, and have fun with friends! Students who are in this age range meet on Sundays 6:00 - 7:30pm. Additional outings and special parties are also scheduled throughout the year!

Fusion

Fusion is a place for high school students (Grades 9th-12th) to gather together to connect with God, experience community, and bring the hope of Christ to their peers. This group of students is also involved with several mission projects and a summer workcamp. They meet at the church on Sundays 6:00-7:30pm.
