About Our Church

A Multicultural Church Rooted in the Gospel, Driven by Love

At MP Church, we are a community of believers committed to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, worshiping God, growing in His Word, and serving one another with love and grace.

MP Church (Message of Peace Christian Center) is a Christ-centered, Spirit-led, and multicultural community located in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area. Our purpose is simple yet profound: to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ through worship, discipleship, fellowship, and mission.

From our Sunday morning services to our weekday ministries, we are passionate about creating a welcoming space where people from every generation, culture, and background can come together and experience God’s presence, truth, and love.

Whether you are exploring faith for the first time, returning after a season away, or seeking a new church home, MP Church is a place where you can belong, believe, and become who God created you to be.

What We Believe

Unified in essentials. Free in non-essentials. Loving in all things.

At MP Church, our beliefs are grounded in Scripture and centered on Christ. We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the final authority in all matters of faith and practice. Here’s how we approach our theology:

In Essential Beliefs — We Have Unity

“There is one body and one Spirit . . . there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of us all.”
— Ephesians 4:4-6

We believe in the foundational truths of the Christian faith, including:

  • One God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

  • Salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone

  • The authority and inerrancy of Scripture

  • The return of Jesus Christ and the hope of eternal life

  • The call to live a Spirit-filled, obedient life

In Non-Essential Beliefs — We Have Liberty

“Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters… each of us will give an account of himself to God.”
— Romans 14:1, 4, 12, 22

We acknowledge that sincere Christians may have differing interpretations on secondary matters. In these areas, we extend grace, understanding that unity does not require uniformity.

In All Our Beliefs — We Show Love

“If I have the faith that can move mountains—but have no love, I amount to nothing at all.”
— 1 Corinthians 13:2 (PH)

We believe love is the foundation of all Christian living. Our desire is to reflect Christ’s compassion, humility, and truth in how we relate to one another and the world around us.

What We Practice

Faith that is alive shows itself in action.

Our beliefs are more than intellectual ideas—they shape how we live every day. Based on biblical principles, we commit to these seven core practices:

  1. Bible-Centered Living – The Bible is our ultimate guide. We study, teach, and live by its truth.

  2. Spirit-Led Worship – Worship is our heartfelt response to God. We worship with joy, reverence, and freedom.

  3. Authentic Community – We grow best in relationships. Small groups, ministry teams, and fellowship are vital.

  4. Intentional Discipleship – We are committed to spiritual growth through teaching, mentoring, and accountability.

  5. Servant Leadership – Jesus led by serving, and we follow His example by using our gifts to serve others.

  6. Mission-Focused Outreach – We exist to share Christ locally and globally through evangelism and service.

  7. Prayerful Dependence – We seek God’s will and power through constant prayer, both personally and corporately.
