Ministries
Six ways to belong
Sunday is the front door, but the life of Mirror Christ Church runs through six ministries: children, youth, women, men, couples, and compassionate ministries.
Every one is open to visitors. You do not need to be a member, and you do not need to sign up in advance. Come to a Sunday service and speak to any leader afterwards.
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Proverbs 22:6
01 · Children
Children's ministries
Ask about joining the children's ministriesKids of all ages have opportunities to grow in faith by hearing God's word, worshipping God, serving others, and connecting with their church family.
By building everything around the children themselves, the ministry creates an environment where they can flourish. It teaches acceptance and empathy, and gives children a way to take part in the life of the church without ever feeling forced.
People need healthy relationships to thrive, and children are no different. The friendships built here are meant to last a lifetime.
Every Sunday
Sunday school classes run separately during the service, with dedicated teachers.
“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Matthew 19:14
“Remember your Creator in the days of your youth.”
Ecclesiastes 12:1
02 · Youth · ages 12–18
Youth ministries
Ask about joining the youth ministriesInvesting in today's youth is necessary to growing the body of Christ. Teaching young people to grow in their relationship with the Lord prepares them to serve Christ in all they do.
These are impressionable years. Each student brings their own hardships, insecurities and questions, and looks to their leaders as role models, so the ministry is deliberately a place where teenagers can be themselves while they learn who God is.
God has always used young people to do great things: Timothy pastored and led the Ephesian church while still a teenager. Our programmes are designed around teaching, planning, outreach, activities and spiritual guidance.
“Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”
1 Timothy 4:12
“She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.”
Proverbs 31:25
03 · Women
Women's ministries
Ask about joining the women's ministriesAll around us the world is clamouring to define what womanhood should be, and many of those definitions are unhealthy. Isn't it time we let the foundation of our life and faith, the Bible, have a say?
If the church stays out of that discussion, an entire generation will take all of its influences on womanhood from outside. So we do more than study the women of Scripture: we ask how the Bible instructs women to live now, in the twenty-first century.
The aim is to help women find their voice and express their faith confidently and clearly (Christ's call to make disciples was never limited to one gender), and to become models for the younger women in the church. MCC is committed to helping women.
“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.”
1 Corinthians 16:13
04 · Men
Men's ministries
Ask about joining the men's ministriesStrong, authentic men build strong families, churches and communities. If you want a church to grow and thrive, you have to develop strong men.
But many men today are in a state of drift and confusion. They feel trapped, and they are searching for a better vision of manhood in a culture that keeps letting them down. When churches give men no vision for life, they look for it somewhere else, and as men suffer, churches suffer. This ministry exists to strengthen men in their walk with God.
60%
of people in their 20s and 30s who grew up in church are leaving it, many of them men.
What we do
Teaching, accountability and fellowship for men as husbands, fathers and leaders.
“What God has joined together, let no one separate.”
Mark 10:9
05 · Couples & families
Couples' ministries
Ask about joining the couples' ministriesMirror Christ Church believes in marriage as a God-ordained institution. We run programmes designed to strengthen and enrich the family unit, parental responsibilities included.
Marriage is sacred, so we work to see the families in this church developed and protected against disintegration. Strong families make a healthy church, and a healthy church makes a healthier society, something today's world is short of. Join us as we build strong families in Christ.
“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”
Matthew 25:40
06 · Compassion
Compassionate ministries
Ask about serving in compassionate ministriesThe care arm of the church, carried by five sub-departments that work through the week rather than only on a Sunday.
