The church is not a building.
Our campus builds community.
Our building is a church|preschool|community health & wellness center|hub for learning|place for community building|birthplace for non-profits|resource for all.
Here at Myers Park Baptist Church, we want our buildings to be an asset to the community–a vehicle for curating inclusivity, spirituality, justice, and community. We love our buildings and want our surrounding community to feel like they are communal gathering spaces.

Solar Panels
Powered by the Sun
Being a community leader on important issues of justice (in this case, environmental justice) has always been important to our Church, so one of the primary purposes of our solar panel system is to serve as a focal point for energy education, both for our congregation and members of the community. We give tours of the system and we have a “Solar Energy Display” mounted in the entrance of the Cornwell Center and is also available below.
Community Garden
Tending to Our Garden
The Friendship Garden at Myers Park Baptist, tended by Ed Williams for years before it had to be removed for HVAC underground pipe repairs, has been reborn! Addison Schultz, a scout mentored by Tom Jones, re-built the garden as his Eagle Scout Service project, and did a brilliant job: all natural cedar side garden beds, with sanded cedar top caps for sitting, and organic soil and mulch. Ed personally donated several varieties of tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, and more that are sprouting blooms. Harvesting has begun for delivery to Friendship Trays, a meals-on-wheels program for the needy.
Labyrinth
Walking the Path Inward
A labyrinth is an ancient spiritual tool for reflection. Its winding, circuitous walk symbolizes a person’s walk into themselves. The labyrinth here at MPBC was pattered after the 14th century labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral in France. It is open to the public 24 hours a day and is well lit at night.
Columbarium
Remembering Our Ancestors
On March 27, 2022, we dedicated our new columbarium. It will serve as a place to pause and remember the Saints who have passed on before us. For more information on the Columbarium, please click below.
Safe space for you to be you.
At MPCC the safety of all who enter our spaces is of utmost importance. We aspire to care for the whole person in mind, body, and spirit, which calls us to be intentional about providing safe space for persons to thrive. Our safety policies are one way that we create safe space for all people to thrive in our midst.
Safety Policies
There are no weapons of any kind permitted on our campus at any time. We reserve the right to remove any individual or group who brings a weapon or promotes the carrying of weapons on our campus.
We strive to care for mind and body, which is why we ask all persons attending events on our campus to be mindful of any symptoms of contagious illness they may have. If you have symptoms of contagious illness (cough, fever, etc), we invite you to engage with us virtually until the symptoms resolve. Masks are recommended but not required.
We strive to remain open for all programming regardless of weather. However, there are certain situations that require closures to protect our members. For inquiries about inclement weather, please see our website or view one of the local television stations closings.
At MPBC our number one priority is the safety and well-being of our members, especially the most vulnerable. We have a robust child protection policy that every staff member and volunteer who works with minors on our campus is required to be trained on and follow every year.
- CYPP trained adults must be present with minors for all church sponsored events
- No adults allowed in the bathroom with a child, unless potty training and expressly permitted
- MPBC staff and volunteers are state mandated reporters of suspected abuse and/or neglect
