MCM Food Pantry – Your family needs food? We welcome you! – Every Sunday from 1:00 PM – 1:30 PM.

Missions for Christ Ministries (A 501c-3, A Non-profit organization-USA) partners with MCM Worship Center church to form “MCM Relief Outreach-USA” program for the purpose of meeting the physical needs of the people in the local community to which we are called. This program is designed to reach out to those people who may have lost their jobs while they transit into finding new jobs. This also includes widows in need and the like. Thus far, Missions for Christ Ministries (MCM) has given over 15 million pounds of food to the neighboring communities. To God be all the glory.

In Acts chapter 6, we read about a physical need arising in the church and how the Apostles organized themselves to meet the need. Rather than the Apostles just ignoring the need, they choose people from the church to meet that need. In this way, the need is met, and the apostles are able to focus on their purpose in the church. Each and every member of MCM Worship Center is specially loved and is considered a part of the church family.  We realize that people have all sorts of needs. But all needs boil down into one of two categories – spiritual and physical. God has organized His church to meet both sets of needs. When the Lord spoke with us about starting a church in Tampa, Florida, He also dealt with us about NOT ignoring the physical needs of the people.

The Vision And Mission Of Our Pantry Outreach

It is our mission as a church NOT ONLY to pray one for another BUT to offer FIRST HAND HELP to those that has been affected by disastrous conditions including accidents, bad weather or loses including offering help to families that are in between jobs.
