Who We Are
MCC is a community of ordinary people from various backgrounds and traditions who are passionate about following Jesus and living out the message he came to proclaim.
Our desire is to help people discover God’s presence in their lives, connect with others in Christian community, and grow as disciples of Jesus.
Our Sunday Service
MCC’s Sunday worship service is at 10.30am. We meet on the first floor of the Manor Mills Centre in Maynooth. Our entrance is along the river path on the town side of the centre. We use the Maynooth Education Campus entrance. We have créche and children's club (for those in Primary School) available during our service.
During our Sunday Services, MCC runs both a Crèche for under 5’s and a Kid’s club (JAM) for those of primary school age. Both are held in rooms just up from our worship area.
MCC Home Groups are gatherings of 8-12 people that meet on Wednesday evenings in Maynooth, Celbridge, Leixlip, Dunboyne and Kilcock. They are a great place to get together for encouragement, support, Bible Study and prayer.
MCC is delighted to have third level students as part of our church family. Along with a warm welcome to our services, students have their own ministry and events running throughout the year such as fresher gatherings, student lunches, outings and Home Groups.
Venture is MCC’s Youth Group for 12-17 year olds. It meets from 7.00-9.00pm on Friday evenings on the first floor in Manor Mills. As well as our own programme, VENTURE participates in our Presbytery and National Youth events including the annual MAD Weekend at the University of Ulster in Coleraine.
If you are new to Christianity, our Discover the Gospel section provides some short introductions to the Bible, the message of Jesus, why we can trust it, and what following Jesus means for our lives.

Prayers for Lent
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1.14

“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”C.S. Lewis
A Prayer for the New Day…
Father into my restlessness, bring your calm.
Into my striving, bring your peace.
Into my not knowing, bring your I am, I see, and I know.
Open my eyes to see the details of your love within the ordinary of my day;The friends and companions who support me with love, and in prayer.
They daily provision of your much and plenty.
The privilege, and pleasure of being able to see and hear, to touch and taste.Settle me again with a deep understanding that as your child I am enough, that you delight in me, and that under the shadow of your wings I am always safe.
This day I ask afresh that you “drop your still your
still dew of quietness ’till all my striving cease,
so that I can then, by your grace, display within my life the beauty of your peace.” ( J. G.Whittier hymn) In Jesus name I pray. Amen
“We pray for the big things, yet often forget to give thanks for the ordinary and small.”
