 For Worship. In Ministry. In Prayer. In Stewardship. |
Our community is growing in numbers and in the life of faith.
Our ministries reach communities of Central Pennsylvania with a message of hope and transformation everyday.
Our core values hold that every member and friend of our church is a minister (1 Peter 2:9). We also believe in doing ministry as part of teams which provide ongoing support for our members and friends.
Ministry Teams at Metropolitan Community Church
Spiritual Care Team Our spiritual care team is growing to meet the needs of our congregation. This team of lay and clergy ministers provides support, prayer, and presence to those who are sick, grieving, or in need of additional support and resources. If you would like to be contacted by a team member or you are aware of a need email your request to spiritualcare@mccofthespirit.org or contact the church office.
Prayer Team Our Prayer Warriors meet on Thursday nights at 7 p.m. in Camp Hill. Contact Laura for directions at lauralark@aol.com. All are invited to come and pray over many needs. Prayer requests can be sent to MCCSPrayers@yahoogroups.com -- day or night! We believe in the transformational power of prayer.
Ministry of the Board of Directors The Board of Directors serves as the fiduciary leaders of the church. We understand the ministry of the Board to be a spiritual practice, as we support one another and make policy decisions as community. It is our practice to host open Board meetings, members and friends are always welcome to attend. Meetings are scheduled for the 3rd Monday of every month at 6pm, with additional meetings as needed. For more information about the ministry of the Board contact any Board member. Please call the church office in advance to confirm dates and times of scheduled meetings.
Worship Teams Our worship team assist in planning and leading worship services and special events. Our teams plan music and liturgy for our weekly services. At MCCS we worship as a community of believers and our worship team is a model of that belief in practice.
Ministry of the Choir The Metropolitan Community Church choir is a transformational blessing to the lives of many around Central Pennsylvania. Our choir sings regularly during Sunday worship and participates in special events such as Central PA Pride fest concerts. The choir meets every Tuesday night at 7pm for rehearsal. Join the choir to lift your joyful voice in song.
Sharing Our Caring Dinner Program The Sharing Our Caring dinner program is an outreach to the community. Once a month we host a dinner for family and friends living with HIV/AIDS. The meal is a hosted sit down event which models dignity and respect for our clients. Dinner often begins with a short presentation on ways to live well with HIV and to care for the whole person, body, mind, and spirit. Various organizations and faith groups partner with our team of volunteers to host the monthly dinner. The program is held in our fellowship hall the second Monday of every month at 6:30pm.
Hospitality Team Community-building and outreach is an important part of our congregation. One of the ways we model this practice is providing space for community building and conversation following Sunday worship. Fellowship hour is an opportunity for us to connect as community, greet visitors and make new friends. If you would like to help provide refreshments for this ministry, please sign up in the church foyer.
Spiritual Education Team We continue grow and learn throughout our lives, from childhood through adulthood. At MCC of the Spirit, throughout the year, we offer opportunities for Bible Study, book discussions, membership classes, movie nights and more opportunities to continue to grow and learn on your faith journey.
Prison Ministry Team Recently our church began outreach within the State Correctional Institution at Frackville. Our worship team and vocalists participated in the Sunday protestant/ charismatic service in the prison chapel. Our team worshipped with over 250 inmates, testifying to God’s radically inclusive love. We plan to visit the facility at least twice a year. For more information regarding our next visit, please contact the church office.
Men’s and Women’s Communities Our church provides intentional community and safe space for women and men to share their concerns and build community. Our spirituality groups meet on a regular basis. We also host regular social events which are a great way to connect and make new friends. If you are interested in learning more, contact Rev. Roben Waddell (robensroost@yahoo.com).
Stewardship Team All that we have belongs to God. Our Stewardship team works to build the practice of sharing our abundance through faithful giving of our time, talents, and finances. Each year our pledge campaign forms the backbone of ministry support. We believe in the practice of holistic stewardship of all resources entrusted to us. The work of this ministry team includes the practice of spiritual discernment as we plan and communicate our annual pledge campaign.
Fundraising Team
We believe that fun and fellowship
can also support the ministries of the church. To that end, our
Ministry of Fundraising and Finance offers opportunities like Bingo,
Lottery calendars, basket auctions, and dine-out community nights.

fundraisers, contact Chris (ccd277@comcast.net),
