Pennsylvania is more than just our beautiful home state. It is also our missions field. We are constantly doing events and making relationships to spread the kingdom of God. We consider PA to be our Judea (Acts 1:8)
Every day the people from MCC are doing things around the USA to spread the Gosple of Jesus Christ! This is our Samaria (Acts 1:8).

Missions

In Acts 1:8 Jesus said to his disciples “…you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. “ Our thought when it comes to missions is that we should be involved in doing missions in every one of these areas at the same time. We consider Morgantown, Elverson, Honey Brook and the close surrounding areas to be our Jerusalem. Pennsylvania is our Judea. The United States of America is our Samaria. And everywhere else is the ends of the earth. Each Flag represents a place we are or have had an impact on missions. Our hope is to run out of room for flags.

2010 Mazatlan Mexico Missions Trip

During this past summer a group of 19 people from Morgantown Community Church headed down to Mazatlan Mexico to build 2 houses. God blessed each person during this trip and helped give a great perspective on how well we have it in America. One of the greatest blessing of this trip was seeing the smiles on Gasper and Maria’s Faces when they received keys to the new homes for their families.

We took a group from our youth ministry to Charlotte NC at the end of July 2011 to team up with YWAM for a week. They did intercity ministry and worked with several local children's minsitries

Ten Thousand Homes

Mission Statement: Ten Thousand Homes creates “HOME” for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Southern Africa by building multi-care centers, building homes, and providing a sense of belonging for orphans and vulnerable children. Ten Thousand Homes brings “HOPE” by providing quality training, education, and economic opportunities.
The Movement: Ten Thousand Homes is a movement of ordinary people actively bringing HOPE and HOMES to Africa's orphans and vulnerable children. Our vision is to create a movement that protects, restores, and empowers Africa's future generations.
Current location: White River, South Africa.
How we plan to help as Morgantown Community church: Ten Thousand Homes has a project called buy a brick where you could buy a brick for 3 dollars that goes towards building a home for the children. It takes 1000 bricks to build one home and 1000 dollars more for labor to build the home. We believe as a church we could raise the 3000 it takes to buy the bricks to build the home. To donate to this project place donations in the collection container new our missions board.
