What's On At The Church

No upcoming events.
As a community church, our goal is to be a strong heartbeat in our communities, a church filled with life.
We want to touch the lives of young and old in our town, both those who are hurting, depressed, frustrated and confused as well as those who are feeling good about the life they already have - showing them love and acceptance, help, hope and forgiveness, guidance and encouragement and even fuller life in Jesus Christ.
We believe God has made us and placed us in this community with this purpose.
Worship demands more of us; it is a lifestyle that reflects God’s heart and love.
Worship is more than something we do; it is the motivation (heart attitude) that colours our thoughts and directs our actions.
As we use our gifts and skills to help the local church grow and develop, this is our service.
The model of the church in the New Testament is of a body of people who are willing to use their gifts to serve each other and build community.
He needs us to get excited about sharing this life with our neighbours; most people don’t realise the incredible benefits of knowing Jesus, it’s up to us to show them.
MEET THE LEADERSHIP
Fred and wife Lorraine have been married since 1990 and have a beautiful daughter and granddaughter, Lorraine is Part of the core leadership and is a fantastic blessing to the body at MCC. They believe that God has placed them in the beautiful town of Millom. “We are here not by chance, but by the call of God.” Says Pastor Fred.
They endeavor to give their best to God and the communities around them and hope they can be a blessing to you.
Peter and Helen married in 1978 and have recently celebrated their 46th wedding Anniversary, they came to faith in 1981 after becoming curious about the changes they saw in their neighbours and set out to find out more.
Since then they have been active members of whichever Church they have belonged to, before their move back to Cumbria they helped to plant a Church in Hampshire going on to become leaders there until their move back North.
Both believe that Gods love is a precious gift shown to us through Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross.

OUR VISION
To Build a Contemporary Community Church in which we are a strong heartbeat in our community - where God is Famous
Contemporary: We aim to be a place and a people that are relevant to the world and the community in which we live. 1 Chron 12:32
Community: We want to be a peoplewhere all believers, by their Godly influence and actions, interact with and transform the community in which they have been placed. People are the greatest asset that God has to influence others to follow him. Acts17:26
Church: Our longing is to be a body of people where each member has a sense of belonging, and becomes a disciple of Jesus Christ, is released into their God given gifts and pointed towards their destiny. It is our desire, as the leadership of this church, that people at different levels of spiritual development find their place in the body of Christ. We want to see people come into maturity in their walk with God and to be released, with proper spiritual and pastoral guidance, to use their gifts and talents to serve God in the local church. Ephesians 4 :11-13
Heartbeat: A healthy heartbeat means that we have a healthy heart. The Bible says that the heart is the wellspring of life. As a Community church we want to be a strong heartbeat in our Community. A church filled with life. Proverbs 4:23
Where God is famous, we want to be a place where people, both within and outside the church, can see, hear and experience what great things God is doing.
To achieve this, we need to have an outward focus to reach those without faith, both within the community and across the nations. It is our vision, prayer and heart’s desire that God would be made famous and that we would be a strong heartbeat in our community, where people will come to find real life in our time and in our generation. We are committed to doing all we can to enable this to be a reality in Millom and beyond. Habakkuk 3:1-3.
