    Let's Build It! Campaign
    Let's help one family's dream for a home become a reality!

    Our 'Let's Build It!' Campaign is back!

     

    Last year in 2019, MPC was able to completely fund and build a Habitat Home for Levon Wilkerson and her family. We had so much fun and were so blessed by this mission that we have decided to do it again!

    Here is a quick video to recap what we accomplished!

    Having worked closely over the last several months with HabiJax® to determine when and how a second home could be built, we are thrilled to announce that construction, with full safety and health protocols, will likely begin in March!

    We already have $61,000 of the $85,000 for this project so we are more than half way there!

    Please pray:

    • Pray for who the future homeowner will be.
    • Pray for how you or your family might be involved...and pray about what you or your family might be able to give financially.

    Let's help one family's dream for a home become a reality!

    If you would like to contribute to our 'Let's Build It!' HabiJax campaign, you can visit click the 'GIVE' link, select the 'MPC HabiJax Project' from the FUND drop-down menu and input a contribution. 

    If you have questions about how to get involved or want more information please contact the church by email or call the church office at 904-680-9944.
