Plan Your First Visit
You are welcome here!
If you’re looking for a place to explore your faith, we hope you’ll give MCC a try. We strive to welcome everyone — whatever your age, family shape, finances, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or life story.
Our ministerial team works to create meaningful opportunities to encounter the Holy through worship, study, conversation, and community. We gather to be renewed and to seek God’s call so we can do our part to help the world look more like the kingdom our Creator invites us to co-create.
MCC leans on tradition while embracing thoughtful innovation. This is a community where questions are welcome, doubts are honored, and no one has to pretend to be perfect. Your voice matters here, and your presence helps us experience the Divine.
I hope to meet you soon!
Rev. Tom O’Brien, Pastor
We gather for worship Sundays at 10:00 a.m.

Frequently Asked Questions
When are worship services?
Worship is held every Sunday at 10:00 a.m., both in-person and online. Each service is a chance to explore faith, connect with others, and seek God’s presence together.
What are your worship services like?
Our worship follows a traditional liturgy with a warm, informal feel. You can expect prayer, scripture, music, and preaching that connects faith with real life, along with moments of community sharing and reflection.
What should I wear?
Whatever makes you comfortable. Shorts or suit, dress up or dress down — come as you are!
Is childcare available?
Yes. Childcare and youth programming are offered every Sunday morning. Children are also welcome to stay in worship with their families — wiggles and giggles included.
How does MCC handle inclusive language?
We honor the diversity of our community and strive to reflect it in worship. You are welcome to substitute any gendered or non-gendered language in prayers, hymns, or any part of worship.
Where are the restrooms?
Restrooms are located in the hallway leading toward the Sunday School wing. Accessible, gender-neutral, and family restrooms with changing tables are available.
Is the church accessible?
Yes. All areas of the building are universally accessible. The Sunday School wing can also be reached with portable ramps available on site.
What if I’ve never been to church before?
You’re in good company. Sunday morning is meant to be joyful, relaxed, and welcoming. We pray, sing, listen, and support one another — and you’re free to join in as you feel comfortable.
What if my background is from a different tradition?
Many MCC members come from a wide range of traditions. You’ll find familiar elements — scripture, hymns, sermons, communion — alongside an openness to questions, exploration, and honest conversation.
Do I have to believe a certain thing to attend?
No. We believe each person is invited to discover God on their own terms. Sermons are offered as reflections, not directives, and disagreement is welcome.
Who runs the church?
MCC is a self-governing congregation. As part of the United Church of Christ, we value local autonomy; the national denomination supports us but does not direct our decisions.
How does communion work?
We celebrate communion on the first Sunday of each month and on special occasions. We use baked bread, gluten-free wafers, and grape juice. Everyone — without exception — is welcome at the table.
