Dear MPCS Alumni,

I am often reminded that great progress takes time and that you generally must begin small and build from there. Even the prophet Zechariah was reminded of this in 4:10: “An angel of the Lord told the prophet, 'Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.'” (Zechariah 4:10, NLT) 

I can say with some certainty that MPCS has made great progress in building an alumni program that serves both the alumni and their alma mater. To build this robust alumni program, we've focused on five areas. 

  • Building bridges that connect alumni with MPCS and with each other. 
  • Building blocks, laying the foundation for now and the future, such as the establishiment of an alumni council.
  • Building trust, being transparent with our alumni. 
  • Building community and connecting alumni with each other.
  • Building a brand that is appropriate for the MPCS alumni family.

As we move forward, we continue to dream of building the best Christian school alumni program. For that to happen, we need our alumni to continue to engage with the school and contribute however and they feel so led. Let’s build this thing together!

From the President

Beau O'Dell Family-1.jpg"I am incredibly excited for the opportunity to serve as the alumni council president and to lead in the continuing building of the MPCS alumni program!  Its growth over the past several years has been the result of the amazing people that have served on the council and their commitment to growing an exemplary alumni program. We will build on the foundation they have laid and offer even more opportunities for our alumni to jump in and get involved.  It’s going to be special watching these things take shape over the next few years! MPCS has had a tremendous impact on all our lives, and I look forward to seeing some alumni simply reconnecting with MPCS, while also seeing other alumni partner with the school in furthering the Kingdom of God in the lives of its students and its alumni."
