MCC CORE ELEMENTS"Jesus has opened our eyes to live the life and seek the lost in the Temecula-Murrieta Valley."
Vision - Bringing glory to God in the church Ephesians 3:20-21 "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
Mission - A fully functioning body of Christ Ephesians 4:11-13 "It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ."
Purpose - Everything God intended in Christ Colossians 1:28-29 "We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me."

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

ONE QUESTION --- THREE PRIORITIES --- SIX COMMITMENTSDefining the Christian life and church family of Murrieta Community Church.
Christianity pivots on answering One Question... "Is Jesus Christ alone enough to make me right before God?" Salvation hinges on a single Person, Jesus Christ. So Christianity pivots on a single question. The gospel of Jesus Christ is based on 2 Facts, 2 Promises and 2 Responses demonstrated in one outward expression - baptism. 2 Facts - 1) Jesus died for my sin as my Savior (He paid for my guilt). 2) Jesus rose again as my Lord (In conquering death He is Lord of all). 2 Promises - 1) Forgiveness (guilt is gone). 2) New Life (the Holy Spirit begins new life). 2 Responses - 1) Repentance ("I no longer trust my own way."). 2) Belief ("Jesus alone is enough to make me right before God.").
...you become shaped by Three Priorities... Priority 1 : GOD - My first priority in life is worship, time with God in prayer and the Word and giving of my resources to His glory. (John 4:23; Luke 12:34)
...and strive toward Six Commitments... Commitment 1 : Worship & Prayer (MCC 101) - The lifestyle of a believer is constantly directed toward God. The most basic manifestation of placing God as the number one priority is a quiet time with Him in prayer and the Word. Other manifestations are a commitment to public worship, fasting and attending prayer gatherings. (John 4:23) Commitment 4 : Serving (MCC 301) - Serving is why Christ came. (Mark 10:45) Serving others allows us to become everything God intended in Christ. (1 Peter 4:10). God has gifted every believer with special gifts to be used to build others up and glorify God in the church. Commitment 5 : Witnessing (MCC 401) - The love of God in Christ you have received is meant to be shared. Sharing involves mission trips, ministry in the community and personal witnessing. (Col. 4:4-6) MCC asks it's members, in placing the lost as Priority 3 in their life, to share Jesus with at least one person before Easter every year. Commitment 6 : Disciple-Making (MCC 401) - The Lord's last command was to make-disciples. (Mt. 28:18-20) MCC is committed to equipping every believer to accomplish the Lord's vision in this by familiarizing believers with the Scriptures, modeling by example the Spirit-filled life, and equipping believers with the ability to teach others everything Jesus has commanded. All our ministries (Men's, Women's, LifeGroups, Youth, etc.) are built around the principle of disciple-making.
