Christmas is an important time to look at life from a different vantage point. It is a special time of year to celebrate that Jesus, the anointed One of God, came into a broken world and provided a new way of life that would allow us to be forever right with God. The Gospel declares that in the person and work of Jesus, we can see life with an eternal perspective that transforms the way we live right here and now. A lot has changed, yet little has changed since that first Christmas when Jesus was born of the virgin Mary. Marketing has enhanced rapidly, calendars are busier than ever and pressure to please others is at an all-time high. However, the core of humanity is the same – insecure, aching and hoping for a Savior who can meet us where we are and graciously move us to where we need to be. Jesus, the Messiah, Christmas after Christmas, keeps delivering on that desire as people seek to see life from God’s vantage point.

Madison Park Church takes the Rethink Christmas season to look at the consequences of a consumer and materialistically-driven world and ask how we can follow Jesus in a counter-cultural and life-changing way. This year, we will, together, seek to make a Kingdom of God impact by resourcing gospel opportunities to be shared locally, nationally and internationally.

Student Ministry Scholarships: $15,000
God commands his people to make sure the next generation knows the gospel so they have access to the life-changing hope of Jesus, the saving King. We do that year-round, but our summer experiences are a catalyst for students to taste and see the goodness of God. On the flip side, you can get information on which experience is best for your family or how to gift a scholarship toward a student’s trip.

KidzPacks & Quincy Public Schools Mentorship: $25,000
Nourishment of the body and soul is essential for human flourishing. Madison Park Church is teaming up with Horizons, who recently took leadership over KidzPacks to help provide food for children who go hungry on the weekends. We’re partnering with the QPS Mentoring Program to help provide a presence in the lives of students who are struggling in and outside of the classroom. We can be a source of food and a mentoring presence, which both go a long way in helping children find confidence in taking their next steps socially, academically and spiritually. See the Rethink Christmas Booth at Entrance D Lobby during November and December for more information and to take your next step in being a part of people experiencing Christmas from a different vantage point!
