MPCC is looking forward to our 50th anniversary in 2026. It was formed 50 years ago in response to God’s calling to plant a church in Marine Parade. Certainly, MPCC has evolved through many ups and downs over the years. What the future holds for MPCC is in His hands. But we can partner with Him as He works His will out for MPCC in the 10 years following 2026, leading up to our 60th anniversary in 2036. Our primary calling is to be disciples after God’s heart.
Certainly, we hope that as a local church, we may faithfully grow from strength to strength. But this ought to be a by-product of the church being made up of disciples who, while following Jesus, become more like Jesus and help others follow Him.
Putting the horse before the cart, the B2B Discipleship Program is just that. The Apostle Paul said in 1 Cor 9:24-25: "Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.” In other words, we don’t try to be disciples; we train to be disciples!
To this end, the B2B Discipleship Program will have the following elements:
Anchoring our lives in the Word of God through daily scriptural devotion
Keeping God’s Word in our hearts with fortnightly scripture memory
Looking to God daily in prayer
Journeying with God through daily journaling
Growing together in a small discipleship group community
FISHing* or reaching out to others wherever you are as Christ leads
The Breakthrough Retreat (BTR) marks the beginning of the B2B program. We have planned for BTR to be mandatory for those who intend to join B2B. However, we understand that some may not be able to attend the retreat, and exemptions will be granted for valid reasons. Do note that one can attend BTR without participating in B2B.
B2B will run from May to November, with a break in June. There will be fortnightly gatherings. Online options are also available for participants who cannot attend onsite due to work travel. More information on B2B can be found on our website. We are also asking our Cells to adjust their meeting dates accordingly.
We hope to run BTR and B2B annually, signaling a significant shift in MPCC’s culture as we move intentionally into discipleship. Since this is our first time organizing this, we appreciate your patience and feedback.
Meanwhile, plans are being laid out for our 50th Anniversary celebration in 2026. The following is being planned:
Sharing Stories in Written, Podcast, or Video Forms from:
Missionaries whom MPCC has sent or supported
Clergy, pastors, and leaders who were involved in the early years of church planting and other significant milestones, including the planting of CCH
Members who have found Christ or joined MPCC through the years
Public Dinner Celebration
We are planning a parish-wide worship and dinner celebration on a Saturday evening in August 2025. We are expecting a minimum of 500 attendees.
History Board
A history and vision board will be displayed on our ground floor, capturing the heartbeat and significant milestones of MPCC (in both English and Chinese).
Carnival
This will be an opportunity for us to bless and interact with our friends and surrounding neighbours.
This list is by no means exhaustive. Do pray and plan with us. We welcome more ideas and appreciate your input!
