Gatherings start at 10.30AM

Our Sunday Gathering is a chance for us to come together as a community of believers.

We spend time each Sunday worshipping together through music, prayer, and other creative means, hearing God’s word, and sharing together as community. There’s often cafe after the service, or morning tea. We always have coffee - come early and grab a cuppa before the service starts!

We would love for you to join us this Sunday- you’re welcome to come check us out any time! Here’s a bit more about what you can expect to experience at MCC when you visit.

There are three core components we emphasise: Worship, Teaching, and Community; here’s what we mean by that:

WORSHIP

We offer a place for people to connect with God through a variety of means – music, prayer, Bible readings, creative items like dance and drama, responsive readings, and quiet reflection.

TEACHING

We are committed to the teaching of the Bible and believe it is the Word of God for his people today just as much as it was in the past. We have a range of teaching styles – expositional preaching, topical messages, story-telling, and small group (Ako) discussions which occur at the end of some series. Preaching is done by a variety of people who are approved by eldership and who have had theological and preaching training.

COMMUNITY

We believe that we are called to not only know and serve God, but to know and serve each other. We consider each other to be whanau and are committed to being involved in each other’s lives. We are not a spectator church. A range of people participate in up front roles on Sunday mornings and MCC members are encouraged to let others hear their voice and to share their stories about God’s work in their lives – both for their own and for others’ encouragement.

SUNDAY DATES COMING UP

With our new rhythm we understand it can be difficult to know where we are on a Sunday. We hope the details below can help and we look forward to seeing you!

CELEBRATE RECOVERY MASSEY

Have you ever been hurt... or formed a habit you cannot break....or struggled to overcome a hang-up that prevents you from living life to the full? Many of us struggle with hurts, habits and hang-ups every day. We may have even prayed about it but we struggle to break free!

Celebrate Recovery is a worldwide ministry that helps people work through the issues that are holding them back. The programmes provide practical tools and support as you work through each of the principles for recovery. We cannot do this journey on our own. With God’s help, and the support of those on a similar journey, we can get through the struggles together, breaking free from the chains of the past and celebrating the joy of a new life to come.

CELEBRATE RECOVERY RUNS EVERY THURSDAY @ MCC MAIN HALL - 52 WEEKS OF THE YEAR.

6PM Dinner | 7PM Programme | 9PM Dessert + Cuppa

We’re passionate here at MCC about kids and families THRIVING not just surviving!

Our Sunday morning kids programmes are built around developing a sense of community; through celebrating achievements, games and eating together. A place where kids can learn + connect the Bible to their own lives, and grow their understanding of God and his call on their lives.

THRIVE UNDER 5 | 2-4 YEARS OLD

THRIVE KIDS CLUB | YEARS 1-5

THRIVE JUNIOR YOUTH | YEARS 6-10

We also have a space for under 2 year olds, with a live feed to our gathering so parents / caregivers don’t miss out!

faith formation for all ages

We recognise that while kids need us for their faith formation, we need them too. So, we have a strong emphasis on intergenerational faith formation - time where we can learn from each other; a group of diverse people - age, ethnicity and experience. The first 20min or so of our gatherings are spent together doing things like - singing, story sharing, games, and special occasions like baby dedications. Then, our kids head off in age groups to their awesome programmes! We also have entire intergenerational gatherings where we celebrate the unique voice that each age and stage brings.

Our popular pre-school music programme is a fun, interactive experience that incorporates singing, dancing, and exploring through music. We have a mixture of live and pre-recorded music, and incorporate experiences each week e.g. parachute, surprise box, instruments. After the session we provide morning tea for kids and adults, and then end with a play time. We often have a waitlist for our session; get in touch with us below!
