What is God Calling You to Do?
How will you answer God’s calling and share your gifts with MAPC?
We have identified five specific areas of participation in the life of this faith family, and we invite you to join us, whether it’s for a one-time project or a lifetime of service.
We are:
A Welcoming Community
We strive to extend radical hospitality as we welcome people into both our congregation and physical space. You might join our welcoming efforts as a Greeter, host for Coffee Hour, offer warm hospitality to visitors, or help with new member classes.
A Justice Seeking Community
The Gospel of Jesus IS a social justice Gospel. Social justice is the arena in which we believe we are called to live out in this world our commitment to Jesus Christ, so it’s a major focus of our congregation. We work with other organizations and agencies to create a collective impact on justice issues of concern to our congregation and the surrounding community, nation, and world. We support Presbyterian Action Against the Death Penalty (PAAD), LGBTQ youth and adult organizations, St. George Food Pantry, Lighthouse Youth Services, Cincinnati Union Bethel, The AMOS Project and many more.
A Progressive Learning Community
We seek to be a learning community that dedicates energy to discussing issues of the day and expanding our intellectual and spiritual lives. Our learning community provides Sunday morning programs for children and adults, discussion on the National Issues Forum through the Kettering Foundation, and holds other special programs for people of all generations. Or you may connect with others through our two robust book clubs – one for contemporary works, another which focuses on the classics.
A Worshipping Community
We create an artful, spiritual, and meaningful worship experience. Liturgical arts present a creative style to fully engage our youth and adult members in diverse ways through drama and visual aids to our worship. We welcome all who want to share their spiritual and creative gifts to participate in shaping our Sunday morning experience as well as holidays.
A Connecting Community
All of our ministry is strengthened by the relationships we have with one another. We nurture a sense of community through a variety of social activities, and address key topics together through supportive programs such as “Navigating Change.”
