+ Worship & Contemplation

Worship flows from the worthiness of God. When we gather for worship, it centers us in God and sends us out to live lives centered in the reality of God. There are four movements in the ancient Christian worship tradition:

Contemplation is a constant prayerful awareness of the presence and action of God in our lives and in our world. It is a practicing of the presence of God. Prayer, searching scripture, silence, meditation, and fasting along with other spiritual disciplines help deepen this awareness.

+ Intimate Christian Fellowship

A church that is simply church is one where its people are in intimate and authentic relationship with each other. At MCF, our small groups are places where such fellowship happens.

+ Growing

We are a people committed to allowing Christ to be formed in us. As we learn to follow Christ we also learn to bring others along with us. That is a simple definition of leadership.

+ Going

God did not intend Christians to spend all their time at church doing "churchy" things. God did not invent the Church just for the Church. God invented church for the world. We as God's people are blessed by God to be a blessing to the world. So we go out into our world to love and serve God and to invite others into a life giving relationship with Him through Christ.
