Family Serve Day
Serving God's Kingdom Together
Family Serve Day is the annual all-school service event where everyone in the MPCS family participates.
As part of our mission, MPCS realizes that, in honoring God, we are also called to love and serve others as a lifestyle. To bring this to fruition, we host an all-school (parents, staff, and students) Family Serve Day, where we partner with more than 50 ministry site locations to serve the community. By strategically partnering with organizations in our community on an ongoing basis, we can show the love of God to our community and help develop our students into servant-leaders.
The Family Serve Day event for the 2024-2025 school year is scheduled for Friday, April 25, 2025. Browse last year's ministry partner sites and details for an overview of the service opportunities that are traditionally available.

My oldest daughter is a freshman in college, and immediately plugged into a Christian community on campus, and has sought out opportunities to serve. I greatly attribute this to her years at MPCS. So grateful!
