At MCC we value growing in both formal and informal settings. It’s one of the reasons we intentionally don’t over program. We want to help you make space for authentic relationships to happen. At the end of the day our groups are places that foster relationships where authenticity, encouragement, and loving challenge are commonplace all with the hope that we become more like Jesus.
