OUR VISION

Helping people take their next step toward God.

OUR STRATEGY

We create environments where people can worship, grow and serve.

OUR BELIEFS

• God is bigger and better and closer than we can imagine.

• The Bible is God's perfect guidebook for living.

• Jesus is God showing Himself to us.

• Through His Holy Spirit, God lives in and through us now.

• Nothing in creation "just happened." God made it all.

• Grace is the only way to have a relationship with God.

• The Bible teaches that all people are sinful and in need of a Savior.

• Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead, conquering death and sin for all who believe and trust in Him.

• Each individual must be in a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ in order to be saved from the consequences of sin.

• Faith is the only way to grow in our relationship with God.

• God has allowed evil to provide us with a choice.  God can bring good even out of evil events, and God promises victory over evil to those who choose Him.

• Heaven and hell are real places.  Death is a beginning, not the end.

• The church is to be a place where people can worship, grow and serve.

• Jesus is coming again.

• We believe that minor doctrinal differences have divided Christians for too long.  We don't have to agree on every point to love each other and serve God together.

​OUR DESIRE

MCC WANTS TO BE A FAMILY OF BELIEVERS WHO SEEK TO LOVE GOD, EACH OTHER, AND THE WORLD IN JESUS’ NAME.

We believe that through Jesus Christ, we can have a real, genuine relationship with God. In God’s Word (the Bible) we can find direction, answers for life and help in building right relationships with other people. That’s why everything we do at Marmaton Community Church is focused on sharing the hope that we have in Jesus Christ and proclaiming the life-changing truths of God’s Word.

WE STRIVE TO BE BIBLICAL, AUTHENTIC AND RELEVANT.

     We are Biblical.

​     We embrace the Bible as the Word of God and are committed to proclaiming its life-changing truths. We desire to honor God by obeying    

     His Word in every area of our lives.

     We are Authentic.

     We strive to be genuine in our love for one another and others, as we live out our lives in authentic Christian community.

     We are Relevant.

     We proclaim the unchanging gospel of Jesus Christ, knowing that it is the vital message of hope for everyone today.

WE ARE AN INDEPENDENT CHURCH (from a Baptist tradition).Being an independent church means that we are an autonomous church, governed by the Word of God and led, fed, and protected by our leaders, not an outside organization. 

Please let us know how we can pray for you, help you find a place to serve, join a small group, or make a difference in our community!
