TOGETHER AGAIN!

Now Meeting In The Chapel at 8:45 AM & 10:45 AM. Outdoor patio seating also available. Full kids programs at 1st service, ages 3-3rd grade only at 2nd service.

 
We are committed to serving the whole church through this challenging season. 
 
There is no “one size fits all” way to gather right now. But we are committed to do what we can to reduce the risks people take to gather as a church family, while honoring their ability to make choices for their own families.
 
We will meet in the chapel at 8:45 & 10:45 AM. We will have outdoor patio seating for those not ready for indoor gathering. We broadcast our 8:45 AM service live for those joining us at home. We encourage you to continue to observe physical distancing and wear a mask.
 
If you are ill, at high risk or otherwise feel compelled to stay home for now, please join us on YouTube. We are working hard to continually improve the quality of our broadcasts and find ways to help you stay connected. You matter to our church family too. When you are ready for a next step, you can join us outdoors on our patio.
 
For now, we will continue to offer full kids programs for our 8:45 AM service, and ages 3-3rd grade for 10:45 AM. Patio seating will continue to be offered for those who choose it or as overflow seating once that service is at capacity. We hope to expand kids ministry in the later service as more volunteers come forward. If you would like to help contact kim@mvc.life.
 
Whatever you choose, please know that we love you and value you as a part of our church family. If there is anything I can do to help, please don’t hesitate to contact me at todd@mvc.life.
 
Sincerely,
Todd Rodarmel
 
 
[Though many will not be ready or able to return at this time, we will continue to offer online services on YouTube and online groups through Zoom.]
