    Description

    Our vision, under God, is to see the gospel overflow in our lives and at TMPC to reach the mountain and our region as it cascades down to our surrounds by making more disciples and more mature disciples who know and love Jesus as their hope and treasure.

    TMPC has a long and rich history as the evangelical church on the mountain and has recently begun to draw folk from surrounding communities including Beaudesert, Yarrabilba, Tamborine, Maudsland and Canungra. We have seen significant growth over the past five years meaning we currently have two distinct congregations who meet at 9am and 5pm.

    As a Presbyterian church, we are governed by a team of elders who work together with our Senior Pastor, David Mugridge to oversee and shepherd our congregations. In addition to a full-time Senior Minister, we employ a part-time Administration Assistant and a part-time Site Facilitator who manages the Bargain Centre.

    At this time, we are seeking a full-time Assistant Pastor to join our team to cater for our current and God-willing future needs.
