What Do We Have To Offer?
Groups:
Weekly high school groups for girls and guys! Groups are your best opportunity to meet new friends, have fun and grow in your faith this summer! All Groups meet on Sunday afternoons @ MCC from 4-5:30PM. All you have to do is show up and we'll help you get plugged in. We hang out for a little, watch a short video and have a quick conversation about the video and of course there's always a snack! Note: Groups will not meet on IGNITE gathering weeks.
Groups for High School students are built on a Semester Based System. They meet three times a year for 12 week semesters. Small Groups learn and grow together, as well as play and serve together. Between semesters groups take a month break to allow leadership development and promotion for the coming semester.
During these Promotion Months students can sign up for small groups for the following semester much like they do for classes at school. Groups can be chosen based on day and time, subject or topic, or they can sign up for the Group a friend is going to.
Each Group has a Coach. The Coach's responsibilities is to empower and enable the members of the Small Group to engage life in a way that is honoring to God. Like a coach on the sports field, our Coaches aren't there to play the game but rather enable the team members to play the game to their best.
Groups meet during the week in homes. We believe this offers students a comfortable, relaxing environment in which growth can take place.
Ignite:
Ignite is our large group gathering from 6:30-8pm normally on the last Sunday of every month. This is a time when High School students can come together and meet new friends and hang out with old ones. At Ignite you might also experience live worship, relevant speakers, games, and art in the form of video, dance, drama, and music.
The vision for Ignite is to create a worship gathering so full of energy, so compelling, and so positive that high school students will invite friends who do not know Jesus to come and experience what God is doing. The Ignite team will use the arts to communicate in ways that are dynamic, creative, fun and challenging. Through Ignite, students will be surrounded by evidence that the Word is alive and relevant and powerful.
