Local Ministry Opportunities

These ministries and organizations are presented to assist you as you seek out where the Lord would have you serve. We invite you to look them over and contact the person indicated for information on how you can become involved. The Lord has been pleased to bless these volunteer efforts. It is our prayer and sincere desire that every person who worships at MPC would successfully identify his/her gifts and particular place and function in the body of Christ - that place where spiritual gifts and obedience come together in service to Christ and others.

“…But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8
