MHC is very much a multi-generational, relational community, with people of all ages committed to deep, intentional and long-lasting connection, and to humble, life-changing study of Scripture. If you join us (which you definitely should!), you can expect to be welcomed in, to be given the opportunity to discuss and study God's word together in authentic exploration, and to hear children laughing and talking as they walk respectfully through the hallways (okay, that last part might be a stretch).

We are affiliated with the local Pikes Peak and Colorado Baptist Association, and with the SBC as a whole, and generally our doctrinal positions line up with the BFM 2000.
