“Growing in Service through Outreach”
“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for the least of these brothers and sisters of mine,
you did for me” ~ Matthew 25:40 (NIV)
Current Outreach Activities
Caring Connections – We have started our new ministry dedicated to reaching out to our homebound members and helping to reduce social isolation within our community. This ministry is a wonderful opportunity to show Christ’s love and compassion by simply picking up the phone or dropping a note to check in on those who cannot join us in person.

Ongoing Outreach Activities
To help increase our impact in the community, MLCC will begin narrowing our outreach focus to four primary organizations. Our church will collect supplies and monetary donations and build relationships through service opportunities. Encourage your family, friends and neighbors to help support these worthy causes.
We will support the following organizations: South Hills Interfaith Movement (SHIM), Kane Community Living Center, Camp Laurelview and The Education Partnership (TEP).
We are proud to support the efforts of a variety of community organizations as we seek to fulfill the biblical call to help those in need.
