Connecting in the Midst of Quarantine
Each week you have the opportunity to process the weekly message with others using our sermon-based questions via Facebook. How is God transforming you through the weekly message? The sermon and questions will be available each week for you to engage deeper and with others.
Discipleship, Community & Social Distancing
We believe that discipleship happens best in circles and not rows. In this season it would seem that discipleship opportunities would be difficult to engage in as we practice social distancing and take precautions during this time. However, we are blessed to be able to communicate and engage with each through technology. We encourage you to utilize this technology to stay connected to community!

Video Conferencing Tips
Video calls have challenges that we don't experience in face-to-face meetings. Here are some ways to keep them positive!
Call Etiquette
- Find your mute button and mute yourself any time you are not speaking. This will reduce echo and distracting background noises. Also, most of these programs show a thumbnail image of every person on the call and automatically put the loudest person center screen.
- Enable your camera. :-) It may make you feel self-conscious at first to see yourself, but your group wants to see your smiling face and be able to read your non-verbal communication.
- Put extra effort into active listening. It can be easy to disengage when you're watching a computer screen.
Be gracious with yourself and others when you accidentally speak over one another. This will happen occasionally. Just laugh and move on.
- Commit to connecting with each other, though this new way may feel awkward at first. Practice makes a difference.
Signing In
- Check out the video conferencing tool before your meeting time to ensure that you can download the tool if needed or just create an online account.
- Log in a couple minutes before the meeting just in case you experience a longer load time.
- Give permission for the conferencing program to access your camera and microphone.

Here is What to Expect

We encourage families with young children to park near the South entrance of the building by MP Kids check-in. People with physical limitations are invited to park in handicapped spaces OR drive around to the small lot at the back of the building for the shortest walking distance to the sanctuary.
What to Wear
Please wear what you're comfortable in. Whether that is jeans and a t-shirt, a dress, or a button-up shirt —we'll be happy to see you! Face masks are encouraged but not required.
Worship Style
We love coming together to worship God! Our services are identical in both teaching and music. Whether you are more comfortable singing out or quietly reflecting, know that God hears you!
Teaching Style
Our team of pastors strive to share the word of God with compassion, honesty, and vulnerability. There will always be an opportunity for you to respond to the worship and teaching each week.
