Details

Brothers in Christ is a monthly breakfast for the men of MPC to get together for food, faith, and fellowship. At this meeting, we will have a panel discussion with March Bell, Paul Chelson, and Mark Whittle on Witnessing in the Marketplace.

Rise and shine, men — Christ is Lord not only of the church but of the marketplace! At our men’s breakfast panel on “Witnessing in the Marketplace,” MPC members working in business, government, and faith-based organizations will show us how to share our faith at work and live out Jesus’ call to make disciples — in the office, the shop floor, the boardroom and wherever God has put us. Don’t just eat a good breakfast — come be encouraged, challenged, and equipped to boldly shine the light of Christ in your workplace!
