Children Yet to Be Born
Mitch East | A105-106
Pro-life issues are difficult for many to discuss, much less with clarity and accuracy. This class has three goals: (1) speak the truth about preborn babies (2) better articulate pro-life positions (3) talk with those who are uncertain.
And Justice for All: What the Bible Really Says About Justice
Mark Taylor | A122-123
In Matthew 23:23, Jesus emphasizes what He calls “the more important matters.” He implores us to focus on justice, mercy, and faithfulness. We dare not neglect what our Lord prioritizes. This study of biblical justice will equip us to understand and practice what Jesus taught and modeled in His life. We’ll tackle tough questions posed by our culture. We’ll provide resources that outline best practices while walking alongside those in hard places. We’ll explore the difference between enabling and empowering. We’ll look to scripture for principles that ensure we’re helping people heal rather than just placing band-aids.
Hymn Stories for His People
Mark Briggs | A102
Our church has sung hymns for decades. Where do these songs come from? Who wrote them? What stories and life experiences inspired these hymns? Come and find answers that will help us glorify God in every song.
EarlyBird Class
Sermons of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew [5:10-6:00PM]
Phil Lewis | A105-106
Jesus came to die and rise from the dead. He also came to teach and preach the good news. This class will look at His teachings and sermons in Matthew’s Gospel. We will see that He is rightly called a Master, Teacher, and Rabbi. He was the ultimate Preacher because He is the Truth.

Foster & Adoption Support Group

A community for foster, adoptive, and kinship families. We provide an understanding space to exchange resources, share stories, and build friendships. Whether you’re beginning the journey or far along, you will be welcomed and supported.
For Men
Zero to Eighteen
Russ Brensing & Dale Bresee | A115-116
How do you raise kids today in a crazy culture? Fathers face many challenges raising their kids to be adults and Christians. How do men pass on their faith to their sons and daughters? How do dads do their best to launch kids into strength and competence? We hope to seek the truth and answer these questions together.
for women
The Bible Recap: Going Deeper
Registration Required
Robyn Yahola & Rebekah Beckham | A120
Would you like help sustaining a habit of daily Bible reading? This class is based on the chronological reading plan called “The Bible Recap,” which provides an opportunity to build that habit and go deeper with weekly discussion. The study guide (available from Amazon) is optional. Come for one quarter or come for all of 2026. Registration is recommended but not required: mrcc.org/women.
New Creation: Your Kingdom Come
Sara Alcon | A119
We are called to live as though we are in the new creation, but that’s hard in a broken world. We will do a deep textual exploration of the godly wisdom given, especially in the New Testament, for how to restore relationships between us, God, and the creation.
Come As You Are: The Way of Wisdom: A Study of the Book of Proverbs [Video Series]
Emily Murawsky & Brooke Talley | A121
We will watch and discuss videos by six different Bible teachers for “The Way of Wisdom: A Study of the Book of Proverbs.” As you consider wisdom principles on everyday topics like words, work, friendship, marriage, parenting, neighborliness, money management, leadership influence, and more, you’ll discover the wisdom of Proverbs as an invitation to steadily walk God’s way in God’s world. No registration is needed.
Groups
International
Clay Hart | A103-104
This class meets for one one-on-one or small group conversations centered on discussion of short texts from a simplified English translation of the Bible. Internationals are paired with native English speakers to improve language skills, share their stories, and develop friendships while talking about God, culture, and life. Anyone is welcome.
