Where Families Grow in Love, Faith, and Community.
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.

This summer, we’re hitting the road with Road Trip VBS—an exciting journey filled with faith, fun, and fellowship! Each day, kids will stop at a new destination where they’ll explore Bible stories, play high-energy games, enjoy tasty treats, sing awesome songs, and make crafts that remind them of God’s love.
From scenic stops to surprise detours, every moment will be packed with adventure and purpose as we learn to trust God on life’s journey.
Let’s fuel up on faith and cruise through God’s amazing love together!
