Ministries at MCC of Our Redeemer
Worship, care, fellowship, learning, and service in action
Ministries at MCC of Our Redeemer help people grow as disciples of Jesus, care for one another, and serve the wider community with compassion, welcome, and purpose.
How ministry works here
The life of the church is shaped by worship, discipleship, outreach, fellowship, and practical care. Some ministries happen publicly every week. Others work behind the scenes to make worship, hospitality, and support possible.
Whether you want to learn, serve, sing, welcome guests, help with outreach, or care for others in times of need, there is a place to begin.
Core ministry areas
These are some of the main ways the congregation lives out its mission.
Discipleship and Christian Education
This ministry supports spiritual growth through adult study, children’s ministry, Sunday school, new member formation, and other opportunities to deepen discipleship.
Outreach
Outreach reaches beyond the church into the community through food support, financial help, volunteers, seasonal drives, Augusta Pride, and other practical responses to need.
Fellowship
Fellowship ministries create connection through shared meals, covered dish suppers, holiday gatherings, Easter breakfast, and other events that strengthen community life.
Worship and Music
Worship ministry supports the Sunday service through greeters, readers, ushers, communion servers, choir, music, sanctuary preparation, and service coordination.
Congregational Care
Congregational care reminds people they are not alone through cards, phone calls, transportation support, bereavement meals, and other acts of compassionate presence.
Building and Grounds
This team cares for the church property through maintenance, upkeep, and work days that help keep the church home clean, safe, and ready for ministry.
Worship ministry
Serving in Sunday worship
The Worship Team helps with readers, ushers, greeters, communion assistants, sound and presentation support, sanctuary preparation, and service planning.
Choir and music ministry are also part of worship life, offering special music through the year, including seasonal cantatas. Choir practice meets every Wednesday at 6:30 pm in the sanctuary, except during occasional breaks.
Care and community
Ministry beyond Sunday morning
Not every ministry happens from the pulpit. Some happen through meals, rides, calls, prayer, setup, cleanup, hospitality, and showing up for people when they need the church most.
That quieter work matters just as much. It is part of how MCC of Our Redeemer lives out hope, healing, and spiritual growth in everyday ways.
