Children's Ministry at MMPC
Welcome to MMPC Children's Ministry!
At MMPC we strive to provide a loving environment where children can learn about God's true word. Experience fun ways to apply God's word to their daily walk. Fellowship with other children that are excited to know and share that God love us and sent his one and only son, Jesus, to be our Lord and Savior !
We have an outstanding group of Sunday school teachers and volunteers that want to help make coming to MMPC the best part of your child's week.
Thank you for considering and allowing us to be blessed by your children as we join you in passionately raising them up in the ways of the Lord.

“Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”
Proverbs 22:6
Sunday School
We currently use the "Hands-On Bible" Curriculum. This curriculum allows children to learn by doing. While learning God's word, children are able to play, experiment, wiggle and discover. Each week our classrooms are filled with excitement and joy, not to mention a lot of noise. We hope that you will bring your children to MMPC for an amazing Sunday School experience that will assist them in developing a lifelong relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
