Experience The Great Banquet, a 72-hour weekend retreat designed for guests to come together to eat, laugh, sing, pray, and grow deeper in their faith as they explore Jesus.

You are invited to join us at the Great Banquet! Mark your calendars for the upcoming Great Banquet weekends:

• Spring 2026 Women's Great Banquet weekend is April 16th-19th
• Spring 2026 Men's Great Banquet weekend is April 30th-May3rd.

What is the Great Banquet?

Beginning on Thursday evening and ending Sunday evening, Great Banquet guests eat, laugh, sing, pray, learn and live together. During each of the fifteen talks given by laity and clergy, the theme of God's grace is presented, followed by a time of discussion. Guests participate daily in the celebration of Holy Communion and examine the presence of Christ in his body of believers. Through the prayers and acts of a loving, Christian support community, they experience God's grace in a personal and tangible way.

Are you ready to embark on a spectacular journey? Have you ever wanted to read the Bible from beginning to end? Have you been longing to anchor yourself in God’s promises in the midst of this season of turmoil in our world? Whether this is your first time or you're joining again, God will speak to you on what you're experiencing right now. 

Join us as we read the Bible from cover to cover in 100 days. We'll start from the first page of the Bible and end on the last, reading 12 pages a day. You won't be alone - others will be on this journey with you. We'll meet once a week to ask our pastors questions, share insights, and encourage each other.

Reading the Bible like a novel is not the norm, nor is doing so in such a short time frame. However, something special happens when you do. 

Watch the Video with Ted Cooper and Pastor Andrew as he shares about his powerful transformation from reading the Bible Cover to Cover and sparking a movement. Transformation is happening here at MPC as well. Hear testimonials from some of our Cover to Cover alumni below:

Momentum is building here at MPC - and it's unmistakably the Holy Spirit at work. He's inviting us to trust Him and create space for more lives to be transformed by the Gospel. This isn't just about us - it's about our children, our community, and countless others who have yet to walk through our doors. The momentum is real. The invitation is clear. It's time to ride this wave. In doing so, we can change lives, deepen our faith and step boldly into God's plan.

IECS English Week Mission Trip | May 22 – June 4, 2026 | $3600

Join a life-changing mission trip to China where relationships open the door to hope. Through teaching conversational English at partner universities, team members build genuine friendships with students who have never heard the message of Jesus’ love. By serving in classrooms, conversation corners, English Nights, and everyday moments, we “earn the right to be heard” and share the Gospel through presence, encouragement, and authentic connection.

This short-term trip works hand-in-hand with long-term teachers already serving on campus, creating momentum, drawing new students, and strengthening ongoing ministry. Along the way, participants experience Chinese culture firsthand—including visits to the Great Wall and historic sites in Beijing—while serving as ambassadors of Christ and good will.

The trip includes training, team support, and opportunities for fundraising. Whether planting seeds or helping bring in a harvest, English Week is a powerful way God uses ordinary people to make an eternal impact—both in the lives of students and those who go.
