MCC Mbale Church of Christ

What's Happening at MCC?     More about the Ministries of MCC     History of MCC

People Mbale Church of Christ is about the people of Mbale and the surrounding area.  On any one Sunday people from tribal groups including the Bagisu, Bagwere, Teso, Baganda, and Kenyans meet for worship and fellowship in unity with expatriates from the US, Korea, Australia, and Lebanon.  The very fact of our worship together speaks of God’s plan from the beginning that we all would be one in Christ Jesus.  Cultural and personal differences are put aside as we focus on Him.  As a result our worship is also a blending of styles and desires.   Congregational singing is led by a group of 3 to 5 men who take turns leading the songs they have selected.  Both praise and worship songs are chosen from a variety of languages so that all can participate in a known language.  Exuberance and enthusiasm abound as we rejoice together in the presence of our God.  Following a format that includes a time of praise, communion with our Lord and one another, a time of singing songs of worship, the offering, announcements, and preaching, we conclude with an extended time for individual, one on one prayer with spiritual leaders in the church.  The personal needs of each individual, who asks for prayer, receive attention.  Visitors and guests are welcomed with a “big MCC hug”, encouraged to sign our Visitors Book, and greeted warmly by those who are nearby.   At MCC we are family, sharing the good times and the bad, growing in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.      Sunday morning worship at MCC   Goals for Mbale Church of Christ We rejoice as the Mbale Church of Christ continues to grow in number and maturity. One of the most recent signs of their maturing is seen in the goals the church member proposed on their own. We did not prompt them in any way, but simply listed the goals they suggested:   Offer additional special studies: Adult, Youth, Married, Singles etc. to encourage others.   Go house-to-house visiting members and for evangelism.   Small group meetings for visitation and evangelism.   Prayer Ministries for MCC with intercession for Women's Ministry, Evangelism, Worship, Youth, Men's Ministry and including overnight prayer services.   Organize "Open Preaching" (like a campaign or crusade)   MCC Women's Seminar for Mbale and area ladies.   Invite outside women to participate in Women's Ministry activities as an evangelistic effort.   Youth Seminar at MCC to also be taken out to the villages.   Organize a Men's Ministry   Develop relationships with other churches in our area.   Financial growth   Projects to generate income We see in these goals that the members of MCC are thinking of ways to:   Mature the members of MCC   Build closer relationships   Evangelize friends and the community   Reach out beyond Mbale to the villages   It is encouraging to hear them express their ideas. It will be even more exciting as they develop ideas into working plans and action. Pray that our dreams together become reality.
