At MPC, the goal of Children’s Ministries is to provide a loving and safe environment for children to share in the love of Jesus Christ. This also includes peace of mind for our parents, knowing their children are well cared for and safe.
We serve children from infancy through 5th grade along with their parents. Through a Bible-based curriculum, songs and crafts, we offer the opportunity for children to get to know Jesus. For more information, contact our Director of Children’s Ministries Gwen Smith at GwenS@MPCLife.org.
Register your pre-school (age 3) to 5th grade child/children for Sunday school by completing this SUNDAY SCHOOL REGISTRATION FORM and email it to Gwen or mail it to the church office.

In the interim, Gwen offers a weekly hands-on learning opportunity in our Sunday bulletin. To sign up for the bulletin and all-church emails, go HERE.
