responsibility for the spiritual nurturing and growth
of their child.

children to participate in and where parents feel

and that a personal relationship with Him gives
meaning to life.

Sunday Morning Worship
Nursery
Our nursery
department at MPC is dedicated to serving parents by
providing a safe, clean and loving place for them to
leave their children. We recognize that it requires
significant trust to leave precious little ones in
another’s care. We desire to build and maintain that
trust in order for parents to be able to serve and be
involved in other areas in this body. At this early
age, the goal is for children to be introduced to and
understand the concepts of “God made me” and “God loves
me.”

Preschool
MPC recognizes the
value and importance of children learning and
understanding the basic principles of the gospel at an
early age. Our preschool department uses two different
curriculums to teach children the fundamentals of the
Christian faith. Through Bible stories and fun
activities, we want our children to learn that “God made
the world,” “God loves the world,” “God sent Jesus to
die and pay the price for our sins,” and that “Jesus is
God.”

School Age
In Proverbs 22:6,
God tells parents to “Train up a child in the way he
should go, and when he is old he will not depart from
it.” At MPC, we are committed to coming along beside
parents to help them meet that goal. Through Children’s
Church and age-appropriate Sunday School classes, our
desire is for our children to continue to build on the
fundamentals of our faith as well as to learn to worship
our Creator and Savior. Our focus includes missions,
prayer, the books of the Bible and the attributes of
God.

SUNDAY EVENING CLUBS
During School Year
Pioneer Clubs, Treeclimbers, and Stockade are programs
designed to facilitate a combination of content, fun and
the development of adult-child relationships for
children ages 2 through 6th grade. Children
participate in a combination of games, Bible lessons,
crafts and group time. Our nursery is available for
those involved in Sunday evenings at MPC.
SUMMER CAMP
Recognizing that
summer camps can be a key point in coming to faith in
Christ and in growing in one’s relationship with Christ,
we place a strong emphasis on our 2nd-6th
graders spending one week out of the summer together at
“CAMP”. This not only provides a great opportunity for
evangelism and discipleship, but also for our children
to grow significantly in their MPC relationships.
Children are encouraged to invite friends. Fundraisers
are provided throughout the year to help with the cost
of camp and scholarships are also available for those in
need.
