Manchester Christian Church

This is a genuinely frightening «church.» God is NOT present there. Pastor «Bo» is a narcissist in the extreme. Just watch ANY of the sermons (aka stand-​up routines) he presents.
I’ve yet to see Bo turn the focus from him, to Christ. Does not happen. Every stand-​up routine is his attempt at comedy and «love the Bo» to such an extent that it nauseates me.
Feel free to check it all out. I encourage you to do so, but I’m writing this as a warning to you to realize the candy he flings. Understand that in these dire times, Bo and the elders are deliberately keeping you from the light of God. They are maintaining your blindness to a degree worse than that ot the Catholic Church.
This is NOT the time to be caught flat-​footed and slack-​jawed, glaring up at a slick stage show!

I recently attended a Sunday morning sermon at MCC. I have visited this church sporadically over the years. The sermon I last attended involved Pastor Bo emerging from a casket on stage. It was a dramatic entrance but then again this church is all about putting on a glitzy stage show every Sunday. The message pertained to Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead with the Pastor peppering his language with «yo dude!» doing his best to seem cool to the crowd. I found the entire sermon quite annoying with a middle aged pastor trying to speak like an 18 year old street kid.
To their credit, MCC has an awesome music ministry resembling a rock concert event. However, if you are seeking a thought provoking message that convicts your spirit of any sin you need to go elsewhere. This is church caters to a carefully scripted feel good message where you get a dose of a politically correct sanitized gospel message aimed at pleasing the masses.
There are many other churches in the area that preach a strong message of salvation and who deal openly with the consequences of sin. If your goal is to attend a church with a powerful music ministry with very little other substance then MCC is the church for you.

Love this church! I used to not like going to church now I never miss gonna! Bo is the most amazing pastor! He is so relatable! He is so casual and relaxed! He personalized every message and sprinkles in some bible passages to connect them together! He is funny and has skits he preforms with the over pastors too! I love how everyone there is so friendly and welcoming. There is no dress code… Come as you are! The church is big and beautiful! I love going to the café and the bookshop! Parking is easy and someone is usually out directing cars! Seating is cool because you can either sit in the auditorium or in another room and watch the service via TV screen! The music is live and awesome and the lyrics to all the songs are on the screen above you! And for parents with kids… They have classes for them downstairs! Also it’s so easy because there are 3 churches… One on Wellington road in Manchester, one on commercial st in Manchester and one in bedford! You can also see services online! They also have all kinds of classes and volunteer opportunities for adults! I could go on for days! This is the church to go to!

Loving God, loving people… that’s what MCC is all about! No religion, just relationship.

Its true: nice café and treats, can take coffee into service or even watch the service from the café. 4 different services on Sunday and the latest one is at 12:30pm. Come as you are dress code. Has «indie rock» type hymns. Very fun and yet at the same time it is also very, very spiritual. The whole family enjoys this church, from great grandmother to 13 year old and college age girls. Even my non-​religious father enjoyed himself when we dragged him on Easter. My 13 y/​o has brought Catholic and Jewish friends to services and they all enjoyed it. My college age kids now meet up with friends routinely at the church, and they are not overtly religious but somehow this particular church community is welcoming and comfortable enough to that hyper-​critical college-​aged crowd. Pastor Bo is very relatable and his preaching style is not dogmatic or political, I would call him humble and kind– like Christians are supposed to be — — umm, like Jesus… This church also seems to have many opportunities to volunteer and there are alot of offerings for teens and young adults. I also like how the church makes donating and contributing to food banks etc easy and free of peer pressure. I have been attending services at MCC for about 3 months and though I certainly enjoyed other churches this is the only church I have ever really been enthusiastic about attending. I think it is because the focus is really on a good decent message, not getting mired in politics or judging everyone else or fixating on hell.

Non Denominational Christian. Nice café. Dress how you like pastor wears jeans live band for praise. (no hymn books thankfully). Plenty of young people. No pressure of any kind. They don’t pass a. Donation plate. Communion every sunday. Small
everyday of the week.
