When God
created man, he included an innate need to live in community.
That need finds its expression in the body of Christ, as believers
love one another, worship God, serve the world, and simply share
life together. Christian community is centered on Christ,
and values its mission, relationships, and truth. In the institutional setting of the traditional
church, the buildings and programs, the money needed to fund them, and the
schedules offered for participation can add to the
stress and hectic pace of life and actually hinder the realization
of true Christian community.
Mountain
Christian Community Church is part of a growing number of
simple
churches that provide an alternative to institutional church.
Maybe a better word is ‘partner’ because simple and traditional
churches share the same functions, but have different forms.
We believe a
church can mature through spiritual gifts without separating into
professionals and participants. “Now you are the body of Christ,
and each one of you is a part of it.” (I Corinthians 12:27)
MCCC has orthodox
(meaning historically established and accepted)
Christian beliefs. Our members have
come from a variety of church backgrounds or no church background
at all, and we think that
strengthens the fellowship.
We started having
meetings in 2001 and have varied from 3 – 10 families since then.
We have fellowship with other simple churches in the area, so if
you are not in Blairsville you might want to check out our
networking page. If you are looking for
our next meeting, look at our calendar or
call 706-835-1760.
