Midway Christian Church, as Disciples of Christ, believes that as people of faith it is important to ground ourselves in the Word of God. Part of our worship experience reflects this understanding. Each week during our Sunday morning worship services, Pastor Heather McColl delivers a sermon that has been carefully crafted after spending time in study, reading over the chosen text, and praying over the chosen text. The resulting sermon is designed to share the word of love and grace which God is bringing to our community of faith.
Pastor McColl’s sermons are available here to watch, listen to, or read.*
