Adult | Join the Care and Support Team

Mountain Park Church is a community of individuals and families seeking to realize our role in God’s story and help others do the same. We’re so glad you’re interested in joining us in this mission.

When you serve, you have the opportunity to make an eternal difference in the lives of others. Because what someone experiences in church today has long term effects on their understanding of who God is, who they are, and who they want to become. We believe it is our responsibility to clearly and consistently demonstrate the love and truth of Jesus Christ to every person through both word and deed. 

This application process is designed to help find the right opportunity for you to use your talents and gifts to serve our church while also cultivating your own personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ [...] Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 1 Corinthians 12:12, 37

Please note that the following steps are necessary to complete the application process and begin serving:
  • A completed application
  • Background check (if applicable)
  • An initial orientation with your ministry leader to cover expectations, emergency procedures, etc.
We look forward to serving together!

We recognize that people may be at different places in the spiritual journey and growth. That’s a good thing! The following questions are not necessarily prerequisites for serving, but are just meant to help us get to know where you’re at.

Caring for You

Life is messy. Like Jesus, we are committed to being a church that does not avoid the mess, but rather, walks with one another through it. In order to care for you well, we want to create a safe space to have open and honest conversations about things going on in your life that may be difficult to share or talk about. Please know that anything shared here will be kept confidential.

If any of the following is or has been present in your life – please check the appropriate box at the bottom of the list. You do not need to mark a specific issue. Checking yes does not automatically disqualify you from participating. Rather, it gives us an opportunity to have frank and open conversations regarding sensitive issues.

- Drug/alcohol abuse and/or other addictions (including habitual use of pornography)
- Sexual involvement with someone to whom you are not married
- Same sex attraction
- Anger management
- Criminal activity of any type (including misdemeanors) or activity subject to a restraining order

A pastor or ministry leader will follow up with you regarding your response. As stated above, checking yes does not necessarily disqualify you from serving, but it may help us in finding a volunteer opportunity that is best suited for you.

Statement of Faith

The following is MPC's official Statement of Faith. Our beliefs represent the heart of Mountain Park Church. These truths are the very core of who we are and everything we do should flow from them. They are not merely ideas to be understood, but truths to be lived out under the leadership and empowerment of the Holy Spirit. We want to ensure that everyone who is representing MPC in any volunteer capacity is in alignment with these beliefs. Please read through them and affirm them below.

About God
There is only one God, the Creator and Ruler of all, who exists eternally as a Trinity of three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each member of the Trinity is fully God, and each is personally distinct from the other.

Deuteronomy 6:4, Genesis 1, John 1:1-14, 1 Chronicles 29:10-13, Isaiah 44:6, Isaiah 46:9-10, Psalm 24:1-2, Revelation 1:8, Matthew 28:19, Luke 1:35, 1 Corinthians 8:6, Acts 5:3-4, 2 Corinthians 13:14

About God the Father
God the Father (first person of the Trinity) is perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, sovereignty, and love. Infinite and personal, the Father cares deeply for each person and is actively involved in our world so that every person may know and trust Him.

Romans 1:20, Deuteronomy 32:4, 2 Samuel 22:31, Psalm 19:7, Leviticus 11:44-45, Revelation 4:8, Psalm 145:17-18, Isaiah 55:9, Job 12:13, Ecclesiastes 3:14, Psalm 103:19, Psalm 115:3, Psalm 147:3-5, Psalm 86:15, Psalm 136:26, John 3:16, Ephesians 2:4-5, 1 John 3:1, 1 John 4:9-11, Jeremiah 23:23-24, Psalm 90:2-4, Matthew 19:26, Job 3:14-18, Acts 17:24-28

About God the Son
Jesus Christ (second person of the Trinity) is the eternal Son of God, the visible image of the invisible God, who became a man and subjected himself to the trials and temptations of humanity. He lived in perfect obedience to the Father, teaching what the Father told him to teach and performing miracles as a testimony to his divinity. In selfless love, he voluntarily paid the price for the sins of all people by dying on the cross as their substitute.

After his physical death, Jesus Christ rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and now sits at the right hand of the Father as the only mediator between God and humans. Someday he will return to earth, personally and visibly, to conclude history and fulfill God’s plan.

John 1:1-18, John 1:49-50, John 20:31, Mark 1:1, Matthew 16:15-17, John 5:18-23, John 10:30-33, Colossians 1:15-17, Colossians 2:9, Hebrews 4:15, John 8:28, John 12:49, Mark 6:2, Luke 19:37, John 14:11, 2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, Hebrews 9:15, Isaiah 53:4-5, Matthew 26:39, Romans 1:1-4, Philippians 2:5-8, John 14:11, John 14:6, Acts 4:12, 1 Timothy 2:5-6, Acts 2:22-36, Revelation 1:7-8, Matthew 24:27, Matthew 16:27, James 5:7, Acts 1:10-11

About God the Spirit
The Holy Spirit (third person of the Trinity) comes to live within a person who puts their trust in Jesus. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live as God wants us to live and gives us spiritual gifts to serve the church and change the world. The Holy Spirit is actively at work convicting hearts and drawing people to God.

Ephesians 1:13-14, Acts 2:38, 1 Corinthians 6:19, Acts 1:8, John 14:25, 2 Timothy 1:7, Ezekiel 36:26-27, Romans 8:6, Romans 5:5, Galatians 5:22-23, 1 Corinthians 12:4-7, John 16:7-15, John 15:26, John 3:5-8

About the Bible
The Bible (both Old and New Testaments) is the Word of God. Written by men who were inspired by the Holy Spirit to write down what God wanted to communicate to us, it is both the loving expression of God’s will for our lives and the timeless, authoritative, infallible rule of faith and practice.

2 Timothy 3:16-17, Romans 15:4, 2 Peter 3:15-16, Jeremiah 1:9 John 17:17, Matthew 28:19-20, Psalm 18:30, Psalm 119:1-8, Psalm 119:33-35, Psalm 119:91-93, Psalm 119:137-138, Psalm 119:165, Proverbs 3:5-6, Joshua 1:7-9, Hebrews 4:12

About Humanity
Men and women were created by God to live in relationship with God, but that they rebelled by going their own way and thereby introduced sin into the world. Like a virus, sin has spread to all humans, alienating us from God, distorting our view of good and evil, and causing pain and suffering.

Genesis 1:26-27, Genesis 2:7, 1 Timothy 2:3, John 17:3, Genesis 2:15-17, Genesis 3:1-19, Romans 5:12, Romans 3:9-12, Romans 3:23, Ephesians 2:1-2, Isaiah 59:2, Romans 1:20-32, Jeremiah 17:9, Matthew 15:19-20, James 1:13-15, Isaiah 5:20

About Sin and Salvation
Jesus Christ died on the cross as punishment for our sins and that those who believe in Jesus are saved from both the authority and eternal consequences of sin. It is only through faith in Jesus Christ, not by being a good person or doing good deeds, that a person can be restored to a right relationship with God. Those who trust in Jesus will spend eternity with him while those who reject him will suffer the consequences of their sins, separated from his love and mercy.

Matthew 26:26-29, 1 Peter 2:24, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Ephesians 1:7-8, 1 John 2:1-2, Romans 5:6-11, Romans 10:9, John 10:10, Colossians 1:21-24, Romans 6:20-23, Galatians 5:16-23, Romans 6:11-14, Colossians 1:9-14, John 3:16-18, John 17:3, Ephesians 2:4-10, Romans 3:23-26, John 11:25-26

About the Church
The Church is neither a building nor an organization, but a community of Christ- followers that is mobilized to make disciples and radically impact the world for God. Jesus is the head of the Church and all who acknowledge him as Savior and Lord are members. As one expression of the Body of Christ, those in a local church belong to one another, take care of one another, and use their time, talents and treasures to serve each other and the world.

Scripture commands believers to gather regularly for worship, prayer, fellowship, the teaching of the Word, and to practice Baptism and Communion. Every local church should do its part to represent Jesus in the context and community in which it is located.

Romans 16:5, 1 Corinthians 12:27, Colossians 1:24, Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8, Acts 12:5, Ephesians 3:10-11, Ephesians 1:22-23, Colossians 1:17-20, Ephesians 3:6, Ephesians 4:15-16, Ephesians 5:29, Acts 4:32-37, Romans 12:4-8, 1 Thessalonians 5:14-18, 1 Corinthians 12:12-26, Acts 2:42-47, Colossians 3:15, Hebrews 10:23-25, Luke 22:19, 1 Corinthians 11:24-26, Matthew 28:19

About Faith and Practice
The Bible is the foundation for all matters of faith and practice. By adhering to God’s Word and seeking God, we can best observe his greatest commandments, which are to love God and love others. MPC cannot bind the conscience of individual members in areas where the Bible is silent or unclear. Rather, each believer is to be led in these areas by the Lord, to whom he or she alone is ultimately responsible.

Romans 12:2, Proverbs 3:5-6, Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Deuteronomy 11:1, John 14:23, Mark 12:28-31, Romans 12:14-21, 1 Corinthians 8:1-13, 1 Corinthians 10:23-33, Romans 14:1-23

If you do not affirm MPC's teachings and beliefs, please contact your ministry leader. We would love to have a further conversation with you before you begin serving with us.

If yes, please use the following question to provide us with the help you could provide.

Home Repairs and Handy Work
Fixing leaky faucets, changing air filters, unclogging drains, replacing light bulbs, and maintaining appliances can be challenging for someone unfamiliar with DIY tasks.
