Momentum is building here at MPC - and it's unmistakably the Holy Spirit at work. He's inviting us to trust Him and create space for more lives to be transformed by the Gospel. This isn't just about us - it's about our children, our community, and countless others who have yet to walk through our doors. The momentum is real. The invitation is clear. It's time to ride this wave. In doing so, we can change lives, deepen our faith and step boldly into God's plan.

The purpose of the Momentum Initiative is to make room for more people to move toward Jesus. 

We invite you to join us on Sundays for a powerful sermon series on Nehemiah and learn more about the vision in our Momentum Fact Sheet, Momentum Booklet or Vision Gathering Replay.

Starting Sunday, October 12th, we are excited to introduce a new Small Group format this fall!

For 7 weeks, as we receive God's Word through the Sunday Sermon, we will gather together in fellowship to draw closer to Jesus by reflecting upon God's Word, praying about it, and seeking to live it out in our everyday lives. Our fall study will be focused on Nehemiah. 

Small groups are a great way to foster meaningful connections that extend beyond Sunday mornings as we learn and grow together. 

Ready to join? Click here to register and fill out a quick survey about your preferred meeting times and group preferences. This helps us create the best small group experience for everyone!

If you have any questions, please contact Cindy Althouse. 

Experience The Great Banquet, a 72-hour weekend retreat designed for guests to come together to eat, laugh, sing, pray, and grow deeper in their faith as they explore Jesus.

You are invited to join us at the Great Banquet! Mark your calendars for the upcoming Great Banquet weekends:

• Fall 2025 Women's Great Banquet weekend is October 23-26
• Fall 2025 Men's Great Banquet weekend is November 6-9

What is the Great Banquet?

Beginning on Thursday evening and ending Sunday evening, Great Banquet guests eat, laugh, sing, pray, learn and live together. During each of the fifteen talks given by laity and clergy, the theme of God's grace is presented, followed by a time of discussion. Guests participate daily in the celebration of Holy Communion and examine the presence of Christ in his body of believers. Through the prayers and acts of a loving, Christian support community, they experience God's grace in a personal and tangible way.
