Pastor
Welcome to the ingathering of God's people. We come together seeking the truths of God's unconditional love for all people regardless of age, sex, race, nationality, sexual orientation, or other barriers humankind constructs to that love. We gather as a Celebrating and Worshipping Community freed from the burdens of guilt and shame through the action of God's grace in our lives. Let us praise God together as we seek personal and community response to that loving God who was revealed to us uniquely through Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ.
Hi! I am Nevin, pastor of MCC Ocala. People often ask what kind of church are you? It is difficult at times to describe what kind of church we MCC Ocala is. Among the nature of who we are that I truly appreciate is that of being bearers of the good news of God's unconditional love rather than the "protectors of God, and judges of others". We are a gathering of people who want to learn of God's love, and in learning move to a place of having a life guided by that love as we reach out to that God of love in loving created order among which are we and our brothers and sisters. We are a church that embraces all of God's children...we reach out with special ministry to the Lesbian/Gay/Trans-gendered/Bisexual community and others who truly want to know and respond to the God of love as seen in the Old and New Testaments. Anyone who is struggling with "religion" and "their lives" are invited to join with us and to meet with me to hear about God's love without being negatively judged for who they presently are. There is joy in God's love. Come and explore and learn what that can really mean in each one of our lives!.
