adult classes.”
The Church Environment

home, surrounded by loving people who love the Lord.”
“Overall, this church feels like a family. It’s very
warm and inviting to hear people say your name and
generally ask about what is going on with you.”
“A genuine worship community – from my first visit. I
always felt I was in the midst of real, growing
Christians, not just people who felt “obligated” to be
in church on Sunday.”

received affirmation in my relationships at MICC.”

family feeling, with Wednesday night dinners as a prime
example.”

encourages people in the congregation to serve and
minister.”

children’s program and love coming to church.”

inspirational opportunity for me.”
“Covenant Women has given me fabulous opportunities for

community of Carpe Diem, sharing in small groups of 2-3

building.”

outreach.”

directly from the Bible and experiencing the
understanding through excellent adult classes.”

center of people’s lives, emphasizes life change through

people into a living faith.”

loved and celebrated, God is worshipped and loved in ALL
ministry areas, people eagerly and willingly offer their
service to the church.”

while going through a life threatening disease – through

their testimonies.”

groups have moved me toward a Christ-like life.”
