Section Ministries
The community has established different ministries for kids (MFC-Kids), youths (MFC-Youths), singles (MFC-Singles), couples (MFC-Couples), widows, widowers, separated for handmaids (MFC-Handmaids) and servants (MFC-Servants). These has provided a “womb-to-tomb” renewal ministry, where persons are evangelized at the youngest age and sustained as they grow through the different stages and states of life.
MFC-Kids – Design to assist members’ parents in developing and nurturing Christian values in their children by providing a planned environment that would embody the MFC culture. It is open to all children of members and non-members aged 4-12.
MFC-Youths – a ministry dedicated for teenager ages 13-18. This ministry provides a venue and opportunities which allow its members to be “what they want to be as long as they are Christians”. The fun aspect of being a youth is not taken away from them by the program, but rather is enhanced because they know that they have the best friend of all in the person of Jesus Christ. This ministry is an urgent response to the need to provide a healthy and exciting environment for the youth in the family to come together where faith can flourish, forming bonds of friendship, brotherhood and sisterhood with other young men and women. It is a response towards these young men and women’s call in bringing the family closer together.
MFC-Singles – a ministry for single people and young adults, envisioned to be a support environment for individuals who are already past school or current in school but working part-time or a young professional working full time.
MFC-Couples – a ministry for married men and women. A ministry that help build a strong marriage and family centered in Jesus Christ.
MFC-Handmaids – a ministry for single women (specifically single parents, separated, or divorced women, unmarried mature singles), for married women (whose husbands are working abroad, physically incapacitated or not now interested in any religious affiliation) and finally, for widows.
MFC-Servants – a ministry for single men (specifically single parents, separated, or divorced men, unmarried mature singles), for married men (whose wives are working abroad, physically incapacitated or not now interested in any religious affiliation) and finally, for widowers.
