At Mountain Park UMC, we believe that faith starts at home, and we’re here to support and equip families on their spiritual journey. Our Family Ministries are designed to create a space where parents, children, and youth can grow in their faith, build meaningful relationships, and serve together as the body of Christ.

What We Offer:

Children’s Ministry – Engaging, age-appropriate lessons, activities, and worship to help kids discover God’s love and truth.
Youth Ministry – A place for teens to explore their faith, ask tough questions, and build lifelong friendships.
Family Events – Fun, faith-filled events to bring families closer to each other and to God.
Service Opportunities – Hands-on mission projects where families can serve together and make a difference in the community.

Join Us! We’d love to connect with you and your family! Whether you’re new to faith or looking for a deeper connection, there’s a place for you here. Explore our upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, and ways to get involved.
