Join our Community
We would love to hear from you, get to know you and tell you more about how we live out our faith together.
MPC is part of a movement called ECO across Florida and the nation and here are some of our core values:
Accountable Community:
We believe guidance is a corporate spiritual experience. We want to connect leaders to one another in healthy relationships of accountability, synergy, and care.
Egalitarian Ministry:
We believe in unleashing the ministry gifts of women, men, and every ethnic group.
Missional Centrality:
We believe in living out the whole of the Great Commission – including evangelism, spiritual formation, compassion, and redemptive justice – in our communities and around the world.
Center-focused Spirituality:
We believe in calling people to the core of what it means to be followers of Jesus – what “mere Christianity” is and does – and not fixate on the boundaries.
Leadership Velocity:
We believe identifying and developing gospel-centered leaders is critical for the church, and a great leadership culture is risk-taking, innovative, and organic.
Kingdom Vitality:
We believe congregations should vigorously reproduce new missional communities to expand the Kingdom of God.
We are a welcoming, loving church family. We pray for each other, we encourage one another and we bear each other’s burdens. We thoughtfully engage with the Bible to learn, teach and disciple those who are already known and loved by our community, and those we do not yet know well. We are a small community that is part of God’s vast and collective church that stretches around the world and throughout time. We gather weekly at a beautiful, traditional church building at 1300 S. Olive Avenue, and we gather throughout the week in small groups and one-on-one as we live out our faith together. We are grateful for our physical church building, and we are aware that church in the fuller sense is with us wherever we go beyond the walls of our courtyard.
Here are 5 values we embrace as we go about our mission:
No.1: “We engage thoughtfully with the Bible. We are most fully alive when we share Jesus’ love through acts of service to those in need. (1 Tim. 4:13; 2 Tim. 3:15-17).
No. 2: We know being part of a loving church family matters, and we welcome you to join us in caring for one another and our neighbors. (Rom 12:13; Heb. 13:2; Matt 22:26-40)
No. 3: We know each of our God-given talents unite in powerful ways because Jesus is with us when we pray, worship and serve together. (Psalm 145:4; Acts 2:42-47; 1 Cor. 12 & 13)
No. 4: We see God in the design and artistry of creation. We value artistic expression of members of friends in all we do. (Gen. 1:1, 1:26; Exodus 35:30-35)
No. 5: We want to share Jesus’ Gospel from West Palm Beach to Pahokee to Paraguay. Our greatest mission is to, “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:18-20).
We would love to hear from you, get to know you and tell you more about how we live out our faith together.

Matthew Jammel is a South Florida Native who moved from Miami to West Palm Beach in 2011 to study at Palm Beach Atlantic University. He has since graduated with his Bachelor’s in biblical & Theological studies in 2013 and Master’s of Divinity in 2016.
Matt is passionate about mentoring young people and engaging with them in their faith. As a former teacher, he enjoys the opportunity to teach as he desires that each person he encounters would develop a strong foundation of faith.
Matt is also a major fan of racing and sports. He is a diehard Miami Heat, Seattle Seahawks, and Miami Dolphins fan. When he’s not watching sports he woefully attempts to play them. Same can be said for his mechanical endeavors. If he offers to fix your car you should politely decline.
