Alumni Connections
Fall 2023
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!
