Mount Helena Community Church is committed to connecting people – both to Jesus and to a community of people around them. These connections are at the heart of our vision to build community and live the mission. We believe this vision is carried out in our daily lives and in our gatherings, large and small.
MHCC Groups are small groups of people who meet regularly to share a common interest, discussion, topic or curriculum. These groups provide a relaxed and casual atmosphere to connect with others and experience life together. Outdoor activities, art or game nights, youth groups, parenting and marriage classes, Bible studies, and support groups are just some of the many possibilities.
New groups begin every winter, spring, and fall, and each group is categorized into one of the following levels of commitment:
Minimal Commitment
Level 1 groups are casual and light-hearted gatherings to get to know people in our community. Members can come and go, and do not necessarily need to RSVP. These groups are based around an activity or shared interest, and there is no curriculum or study involved.
Moderate Commitment
Level 2 groups require a little bit more of you. Members need to RSVP as there may be childcare, a meal, or a group activity to coordinate. These groups are based around an interest, activity, or curriculum. Curriculum will be able to be jumped into at any time and members won’t feel as though they’ve “fallen behind” if they miss a few weeks.
High Commitment
Level 3 groups will be pursuing a common interest, or going through a book or curriculum on a specific schedule. Members understand that they need to attend as many of the group gatherings as possible during the semester, and should communicate absences to the leader. Topics of study and activities may be more specific or challenging than in a moderate group. Members who do not do the reading, or miss meetings or activities will fall behind.
Ministry Teams
Level 4 groups are the ministry teams at MHCC. We believe one of the best ways to get to know people is to serve alongside them. Our teams of volunteers are what make our ministries possible and there is always room for another helping hand! Once you sign up, you will be contacted by a leader of that ministry team regarding their application, training, and scheduling processes. Feel free to contact a leader before signing up if you have questions about their ministry.
There are seeds all throughout the Bible. God is a master builder, and one of His primary building blocks is the seed. Growth doesn’t just happen overnight – it takes time and careful attention.
This fall at MHCC we invite you to join us as we explore principles of growth from Scripture through an 8-week series.
How do I get connected?
The best way to connect with others at MHCC is through small groups.
Our fall small groups began September 29th. However, some groups are still available for signups if you’re interested! You can click below to get connected.
This fall we are hosting Seeds Groups alongside our MHCC Groups. These Seeds Groups will work alongside the messages on Sunday and explore the Seeds Workbook together.
