WHAT IS MIDWEST FCP?

The Midwest Fellowship of Christian Puppeteers Conference (MFCP) is more than just classes. This day was created to ignite, refuel and renew your ministry through sharing ideas, creative presentations, and rich fellowship. MFCP will be on:

 

Saturday, October 8, 2022

Unity Baptist Church

2500 St. Clair Ave, Granite City, IL 62040

(Hosted by Adventureland Puppet Ministry)

If you're interested in more in-depth puppetry and creative ministry training, we encourage you to join us this summer for our National Conference.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

MFCP is open to anyone who would like to invest in discovering creative ways to proclaim the Gospel. Our attendees span all age groups and ministries: adults, teens, pastors, directors, lay workers, and missionaries. 

 

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

  • Ignite your imagination: you will be equipped with creative ideas and practical solutions to take your ministry to the next level. Our instructors are passionate and experienced in the fields of puppetry and creative ministry.

  • Renew your mind: you will be spiritually challenged during devotions, refreshed with praise and worship, and inspired by performances.

  • Refresh your spirits: you will be surrounded by like-minded, passionate people from across the region who are also invested in reaching the next generation of Believers.
