learn about our mission

MPCS Missions

Our mission statement challenges us to prepare our students to be servant-leaders who love others. Mission trips are one example of how we seek to achieve this goal. Every year we send students around the world to share the hope-filled good news of Jesus Christ through word and deed. Many times, the impact the experience has on our students as they learn of the needs and living situations of those around us proves just as great as the impact they leave. Mission trips have the unique ability to change an individual's perspective on the world, not just for a few days, but for a lifetime. Below are several mission opportunities we are planning for 2010. If you would like more information concerning any of our trips please email the contact person provided.
