Point of View
At MCC, we use plural, first-person language (we, us). This creates a conversational feel and allows us to talk directly to our audience.
Like this: We listen for what God's doing in our neighborhood. And then we find meaningful ways to join His work.
Not this: MCC is focused on listening for what God's doing in the neighborhood.
