Fall 2021
Dear MPCS Alumni,
When I accepted the position as Alumni Relations Manager in 2018, I did not know at the time that it was going to be the most fun I’ve ever had in my 26 years at MPCS! I also did not yet know how much effort would be required of me in building an effective, thriving alumni program. I have found this experience to be a personal confirmation as to the effectiveness of the mission of the school. What a blessing!
While I am pleased with our achievements the past three years, many challenges lie ahead. As they say, it takes a village! I now realize that for the MPCS alumni program to be exemplary, it requires the school, the Alumni Council, and the alumni community be unified in our efforts. All three constituents play a critical role in the success of the Alumni Association in its efforts to serve the alumni community and the mission of the school. Our hope is that you will join us in our efforts!
As part of its Five-Year Strategic Plan, MPCS has adopted two initiatives directly pertaining to our alumni community:
- Strategic Initiative 1.1: MPCS seeks to create a culture of courageous generosity and abundant gratitude within its entire community, including current students, faculty and staff, parents, and alumni.
- Strategic Initiative 1.5: MPCS seeks to expand current alumni programming, growing the network of alumni offerings and providing opportunities for greater alumni engagement in the life of MPCS.
What do these two initiatives mean for alumni? It means that MPCS is committed, both philosophically and financially, in seeking the alumni community to becoming active stakeholders in the school’s mission. The alumni are important stakeholders to the current and future success of the school in fulfilling its purpose in training servant-leaders who love others, honor God, and walk in Truth!
I pray that you will partner in the school’s ongoing effort in training young people to claim ownership to the mission of the school! New opportunities are available whereby you can be a part of this exciting new chapter in the history of the school. Please seek the Lord’s direction as to what you can do to best contribute to the school’s mission and Biblical mandate of Christ-followers whose ambition is to serve others in His name.
Blessings!
