Who is the MCMC and what do we do?
Active since 1972, the McMaster Campus Ministries Council (MCMC) is a group of staff, faculty and students who are part of McMaster University. The Council also includes representatives from the Anglican, Presbyterian and United Churches as well as members of the Hamilton community. These members volunteer their time to discuss the needs of students, staff and faculty (from varied departments) on campus. The council works and supports the Ecumenical Chaplain to help guide responsive programming and events.
The Council meets twice a term, while the Executive Council meets monthly. The Council is committed to interdenominational and ecumenical cooperation including with non-Christian groups. The Council seeks to express God’s love to the McMaster University Community through hiring the Ecumenical Chaplain, supporting his/her ministry on campus, conducting worship services, providing pastoral care, participating in the intellectual life of the campus, and responding to campus needs and emergencies.
