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 706-835-1644.
