Can a single church in Central Indiana change the world?
"...you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
(Acts 1:8b; NIV)
MPCC’s answer to if a church in Central Indiana can change the world is YES. Our global footprints bring Christ to the world, one life, one family, one opportunity at a time.

Men’s Prison Ministry
Location: Indianapolis Re-entry Educational Facility (IREF)
The facility is located just east of downtown Indianapolis on New York
street.
All residents
at this prison facility are within 3 years of their release date. The mission of the facility is
to prepare the men for re-entry into society which is why the need for community
volunteers is so great. The more contact the men have with volunteers from the outside,
the better they will be equipped when the time comes for their release.
Service opportunities:
1. Mentoring - This is the single biggest need at the facility and involves being paired
with a resident at the facility whom you meet with for 1 hour on a weekly basis. Mentoring topics can include: goal setting, job discussions, faith, fathering, or any need/interest the resident has. No special skills are required beyond a desire to help others and the ability
to be a good listener. The time commitment is small but the impact is enormous for both
you and your
mentee.
2. Monthly church services - The men from MPCC participate in a worship service
at the
facility on the 4th Sunday of every month. This is a time when we can worship alongside
the men at the facility, praying with them, and simply showing them that we care about
them. Time commitment is 3-4 hours once per month.
3. Serve as a dorm chaplain - This role would include leading Bible studies, getting to know
the men in a particular dorm, and being available for prayer and consultation. Time commitment would be 2-4 hours per week.
