Ministries
Here at Masterton Community Church we believe that faith without actions is dead. We believe that Christianity is more than just words and religious postulations. For this reason, we as a church invest both our time, energy and resources into a number of ministries aimed at spreading the gospel and reaching both our immediate community and the global community.
Children
Each Sunday morning we offer an exciting and challenging children's programme for children aged 5-12 years. This programme runs parallel times to the main church service and provides the children with the opportunity to enjoy games, worship, a focused message and more. For more information on our children's programme please talk to Joella Anderson.
We also provide a creche for children under 5 years old during the Sunday morning church service. The children are cared for in a safe and comfortable setting and morning tea is provided for them.
Youth
Every Friday night here at MCC the youth of the church and their friends gather. RIOT Youth runs from 7pm-9pm and has a gospel focus making it the perfect time for young people to invite their friends to; where they can hear the powerful message of the cross. For more information regarding youth head on over to their site or contact Nadine or Jermaine Allen.
