“Church Family” shouldn’t be an empty cliché. The MRCC Path is a way for each and every newcomer to discern the next step on the road to getting fully connected. We know that not every journey looks the same, but this general route can help make your church really feel like YOUR church.
Take an initial step into First Cup.
Maybe you’ve been visiting for a few months and feel ready to go further. Maybe this is your very first time in a church. Wherever you are on that journey, First Cup is the first stop along The Path. Enjoy a cup of coffee, meet some friendly faces, and begin learning more about MRCC. First Cup meets during our Bible Class hour at 9:35 a.m. in the Welcome Center.
Attend a newcomer class.
Once you’re ready to make Memorial Road your church home, you can attend the Welcome Class. This one-time “MRCC 101” class is offered every two to three weeks and provides a clear overview of who we are, what we believe, and how you can get connected. Those who are ready may place membership after completing the class. For those who are new to faith or new to churches of Christ, we also offer a deeper, multi-week experience called The Inside Story, designed to provide a fuller understanding of our beliefs, practices, and mission.
Commit to actively attend and join our mission.
After you’ve shared a cup of coffee and attended class, you may be ready to identify yourself with Memorial Road by placing membership through the Welcome Class. We describe this step as a commitment because it is more than completing a card. It is a thoughtful decision to make MRCC your church home and to actively participate in our mission to live good lives, do good works, and share good news.
Form ties through worship, community, and meaningful service.
The purpose of The Path is to help you discover where you fit at Memorial Road. These steps and experiences are intentional and beneficial, creating natural opportunities to build relationships and learn who we are. As you move through them—and connect with the people you meet along the way—our hope is that you will become meaningfully engaged in worship, a Bible Class, a small group, and a place of ministry where you can serve and grow.
Andy began serving at Memorial Road as a volunteer in our Missions Ministry when God opened a door to a career he never knew he wanted. He hasn’t looked back since. He studied marketing at Oklahoma Christian and Southern Methodist University. He plans events, works with MRCC’s various ministries and their leaders, oversees church communications, and helps people connect and become active members of our church family.
Andy has been at Memorial Road all his life and he feels blessed to be able to work at his home church. He and his wife Summer have been married since 1999 and have two children, Mia and Bode.
As our Community Outreach minister, Kyle works to connect people outside the church to Jesus and to lead the congregation in serving the wider community. He first attended Memorial Road while a student at Oklahoma Christian University. He quickly got involved in the International Ministry and served as an International Ministry Student Worker for much of his college tenure. That experience, along with summer mission trips to Australia, solidified his desire to go into ministry.
While at OC he met and married the love of his life, Carley Cave. After Carley’s graduation, they moved to Sydney, Australia to work as Helpers In Missions (HIM workers) for two years. Upon returning to the States, Kyle joined the ministry staff at North MacArthur as their Involvement Minister and served for 8 years before joining MRCC’s staff in 2025. Kyle and Carley have two kids: Vinny and Rosie.
