Local Outreach in Ogle County, IL

Missions

Jesus told us to “Go therefore and make disciples of ALL the NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to do everything I have told you.”

(Matthew 28:19-20)

He wasn’t talking to a select few, but to all Christians. At M.C.C.C., it’s our desire to mobilize the whole church to reach the whole world with the gospel message. One of the goals of our Mission’s Ministry is to challenge and equip one another to become involved in world evangelism.
