“We have a desperation problem in the United States. We are not desperate enough to see the Spirit of God move. We aren’t desperate enough to know His word and to share the gospel. We live, unfortunately, in a passive culture.”
— MAFMC NextGen Pastor Shawn Delacourt

BREAKING NEWS: After long and difficult discussions we have decided to cancel our services Sunday. Projected snowfall amounts and temperatures made gathering seem unwise. We are trusting God, and may He bless you and your home this weekend. Please stay safe and warm indoors!

[MAFMC @MattisFMC]

May we wish the happiest of HAPPY BIRTHDAYS to the young woman in our congregation who is director of team care and relations for the international Set Free Movement, spouse of our NextGen pastor and perhaps most important of all — mom to Rosie! God bless, Emma Delacourt! Enjoy!

“Happy New Year! Maybe you have made charts and lists of things you want to accomplish. Scripture reminds us that no matter what our plans are, #God has made plans for our lives, for the cosmos He has invited us to be a part of.”
— Lead Pastor Chadwick Anderson

Merry Christmas!

“#God desires all of us to be in relationship with Him, so when we are destructive in our actions His correction is always meant to bring us closer to Him. Sometimes that correction can smack us in the face. But when we turn to the Lord, He will restore us.”
—Rev. Shawn Delacourt
