MACC is committed to taking the Gospel outside of our church walls and into our community, our country and our world. We do this in many ways, including praying, giving and going. Here are some local outreach ministries that we are supporting and actively involved with through our local missions support teams.
CROFTON CHRISTIAN CARING COUNCIL
Crofton Christian Caring Council (CCCC) is a group of churches in the area that MACC partners with to support the local community through the Food Pantry at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church , the Baby Pantry at Community United Methodist Church, the Clothes Closet at First Baptist Church of Crofton as well as emergency financial assistance for utility turn-offs, evictions and medications.

NEW COMMANDMENT MINISTRY
Each month, you have an opportunity to serve those in our church community who have long term, unmet needs through our New Commandment Ministry.
LIGHT HOUSE SHELTER SERVING OPPORTUNITIES
We partner with Light House Shelter in Annapolis, which gives our community many opportunities to serve on local missions through the different volunteer programs they offer. This is a great way to get your family, Life Group or Ministry Team out to serve.
You can see details on volunteer opportunities here at Volunteer at Lighthouse
WINTER RELIEF
This year, MACC will host Winter Relief January 4 - 11, 2027. Interest meetings will begin in October of 2026. Winter Relief is a moving emergency shelter coordinated by Arundel House of Hope and Anne Arundel County. The shelter serves over 100 men and women mostly during the winter months. Churches volunteer to share the love of Jesus and service to brothers and sisters experiencing homelessness. Together, we can share the love and Gospel of Christ and be His hands and feet to those whom many overlook, remembering the words of Jesus, that when we serve ‘the least of these,’ we serve Him (Matthew 25:40).

CHESAPEAKE MINISTRY
WHAT CHESAPEAKE MINISTRY IS
Chesapeake Ministry is a foundational King’s Men ministry — not a side project, but part of the core of who we are. The women in our church have also joined us in this ministry and their impact has been nothing short of powerful. It’s how our men and women move outside these walls and into some of the hardest places in our community — drug and alcohol recovery homes — to bring the Gospel and disciple those who are fighting for their lives. We’ve been walking into these houses faithfully for six and a half years now, and God has given us an amazing group who serve them week in and week out — showing up for them when most of the world has written them off.
“Choose this day whom you will serve... but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” — Joshua 24:15 (ESV)
THE HOMES WE’RE INVITED INTO
The houses on our schedule are operated by Project Chesapeake, a Maryland-based recovery organization founded in 2014 that runs a network of residential recovery homes across the state. They’re licensed under Maryland’s ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) levels of care, which set how structured and clinically intensive a facility has to be.
WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO THERE
We’ve been invited into these houses on a weekly basis to preach the Gospel, lead Bible study, and simply love on these men and women.
— not as outsiders running a program, but as men and women willing to sit in their living rooms and be present with them.
— Our first goal is always salvation. We go in as sowers and seed planters, trusting God for the harvest (1 Corinthians 3:6-7).
— For those who already believe, our goal shifts to encouragement — helping them to keep growing in their faith and their walk with Christ in a season when that’s genuinely hard to do. This is Paul-and-Timothy work in one of its rawest forms. Some of these men and women will never darken the door of a church on their own. We go to them, plant what we can, and trust God to raise up the next person from the wreckage of the last — a living picture of “but God” grace (Ephesians 2:4-5).
And there’s something happening before we ever walk in the door. There’s nothing quite like the windshield time — driving those roads together as we are about to preach the Gospel — for iron sharpening iron (Proverbs 27:17). — "God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day" (Psalm 46:5)

NURSING HOME OUTREACH
For about 8 years we have been going to Autumn Lake Healthcare in Crofton.
On the second Sunday of each month we visit at 2:00 pm and sing hymns, have a a group discussion and do readings from Our Daily Bread. We also have a prayer time on pressing needs of the residents. Current attendance is about 25 individuals.
On the fourth Sunday of each month we visit Arcadia Assisted Living in Gambrills at 2:00 pm as well. We spend time with the residents and do the same format as Autumn Lake. Attendance at Arcadia is normally about 5 individuals.
We currently have two small teams of 3 people at each facility. The importance of these visits cannot be over emphasized because many of these lovely people rarely get visitors. It is our goal to show the love of Christ and make sure these neighbors of ours know they are not forgotten. Hymns in particular seem to greatly help memory loss individuals reconnect to their pasts and engage with the present. We are always looking for others to come along side and serve with us. Any musicians would be a huge blessing because music seems to really connect with people and bring peace. For more information please reach out to us at Missions@themacc.org
