MCF exists to help people ENCOUNTER GOD in relationship, ENGAGE TRUTH honestly and fully, and EMBRACE LIFE, serving the purpose of God in our generation.

The focus of following Christ is LOVING GOD, and LOVING OTHERS. This is stated all the way back in of the first books of the Bible, Deuteronomy. This command is found in the books of Matthew, Mark and Luke. Paul in the vast majority of his letters reinforces this teaching.

If you want to follow Christ, you must love God, love others. At MCF our purpose drives us to:

• LOVE GOD through worship and obedience

• LOVE OTHERS through acceptance and sacrifice

At MCF we believe that through the outflowing of love toward others, we begin to experience the full blessings of God in our lives.

Circumstances stop defining our outlook and even in the midst of great trials we can experience true pleasure, peace, meaning and hope. This leads us to VALUE

• Relationship above Ritual

• Grace above Law

• Transformation above Information

• Passion above Performance

• Truth and Love

• Rights and Responsibilities

• Care above Cure

• People above Programs

• Christ above All!

At MCF we believe that as these values take root in our lives it will move us from a passive faith to an active faith. This is the type of faith that Jesus has called us to follow him in.

We can believe that the major role of a Christ follower is to show up once a week, hear a sermon and give some money. That isn’t participating that is spectating. 

Instead at MCF we believe to participate you must be willing to::

• ASK questions for honest dialogue .

• JOIN your life with others for community

• SERVE out of your gifts instead of guilt

• GROW through discipleship and accountability
