September is Fill the Seat Next To You Month!

Fill the Seat Next To You!

Jesus said we were to go out and make disciples of all nations, and sometimes those nations include our own backyards and community.

We all know people we can invite to church — people who are new to the area, those who are searching for meaning, and those who may be experiencing difficult times. Give them an invitation to join you at church at MCCA! Worship is every Sunday at 10:30 am.
