Since the very first ArtPrize in 2009, Monroe Community Church has been creating worship experiences rooted in the felt needs, human conditions, pathos, and joy found in the art that we host. If we believe that humans are created in the image of God, then each of us testifies to the Creator by creating. Each Sunday morning during ArtPrize, our pastor and worship leader will interview the artist, who may or may not be a person of faith, unpack the motivations and meaning behind their ArtPrize entry, and then look to scripture and song for what the Bible and our rich musical tradition may say about similar themes. Sundays, 10:30 a.m. @ 1020 Monroe NW

September 25

MCC is an emerging Christian faith community whose mission is “Love God, Love People, Love the City.” As image-bearers of the Creator, we seek to honor God through celebrating the creative talents of our members, friends, and the community. We embrace and encourage the arts through various community events and seek to make our space available to fellow non-profits. Each year for ArtPrize, we conduct a series of worship services, “Meet the (a)Artist”, based upon themes generated by selected art that we host. Commonly, K-12 school class trips come to our venue, as our exhibits are usually appropriate for children. We are fully accessible (including an adult-sized changing table), have a drinking fountain with bottle-filler, barrier-free restrooms, and a space for nursing. In 2017, MCC was one of the 5 finalists for Outstanding Venue, and have twice hosted a jury finalist. We are now in a newly renovated building at 1020 Monroe NW, specifically designed for the display of art.
