Covenant Ministry Opportunities
Christian Life Center
The mission of the Christian Life Center is to provide creative and meaningful recreational and fellowship activities for church members, their guests, and the community in a Christian atmosphere. The CLC hosts many activities. There is a full-sized gymnasium where basketball, volleyball, indoor soccer, skating, gymnastics, camps and other recreational activities are offered as well as organized leagues in basketball, soccer, and flag football on-and-off campus for children and adults. We offer an indoor track, plus fitness and weight rooms for those who want to exercise and a game room and lounge for those who want to relax. A variety of fitness classes such as Jazzercise, aerobic fitness, athletic conditioning, Seniorcise, Yoga, Pilates, and Quick Fit are available to all who would like to participate. CLC disciples serve as greeters and may also serve on the CLC board.
Covenant Ministry Team
Covenant Ministry seeks to fulfill the understanding that at MPPC every member has a ministry. During the year we work with new members to help them discern their call to ministry and then connect them to it. During Lent there is an annual congregation-wide focus during which the whole congregation is asked to discern their ministry for the coming year. Covenant Ministry then connects each member to his or her ministry for the year and supports them in it.
Faithbuilders Small Group Team
This team nurtures existing small groups and helps form new small groups throughout the church, encouraging members to grow as disciples of Christ through fellowship and study.
History Team This ministry is exploring how to honor and display the history of Myers Park Presbyterian Church.
Hospitality Team
The Hospitality Team is an easy and fun way to get involved and meet people at MPPC and at special events. Serve on the Hospitality Team as a host on Sunday mornings, greeting people, answering questions and providing information to members and guests.
