YOU’RE INVITED!

Life isn’t meant to be lived alone, and faith isn’t meant to be experienced in isolation. Jesus promises to be present when we gather together, and that’s why the Church isn’t just a building—it’s a community where we can find encouragement, purpose, and hope.

Come to church on Sunday, September 21, 2025 at Mountain Park UMC. MPUMC has a lot to offer the community and you are a key part of it! Let's continue Loving Community and Living Jesus!
