Building Your Faith: Exploring Scripture with the Pastors provides you a marvelous opportunity every Sunday to enjoy Biblical teaching from a passage with an MDPC pastor or staff member with seminary training. Dr. Clay Brown, MDPC Adult Discipleship Pastor, is the lead teacher, but many others join in the fun. There’s no homework, no pre-registration or class roll, but always donut holes! 

The Gospel in David's Story
Few biblical characters experienced as many highs and lows as David. Shepherd, Musician, Soldier, King, Adulterer, Author, Parent, and Penitent. The life and times of King David have much to teach us about faith, failure, and renewal.
