At Montgomery Community Church, there is a strong focus on mission:  “Engaging people to live and serve like Jesus”. The vision of MCC is to be "an authentic community where families are being transformed and equipped by the Holy Spirit to draw those we encounter into a relationship with Jesus Christ."

 

The church has a rich history of welcoming people of all ages and backgrounds and is situated on a 13-acre prime location campus. Roughly 35,000 cars pass by daily and approximately 50,000 people live within a 3-mile radius of the church.

 

There are 3 main buildings on the campus which include a newly-renovated 800-seat worship venue with a coffee bar and inviting fireplace room; a striking, newly constructed 23,000 square foot junior/senior high student center housing a regulation basketball court, offices, meeting rooms, cafe, and a 250-seat worship area; and an administrative office building. The children’s ministry area, located in the main church building, has first-class decor with classrooms for various ages and a large group meeting space.  Weekdays, the children’s area is utilized by a 165-student preschool, which has been operated for many years by MCC.
