MVP Workshop is a 1-week full-time workshop that typically takes place in July of every year. The workshop provides volunteers the opportunity to assist with a GA department project on a 1-week basis. Short training may also be provided as necessary. Full-time, in-person attendance is expected.

The workshop is open to all members who are 18 or older. Working professionals, students, and anyone with a heart to serve are encouraged to apply. Underage youths may be considered on a case-by-case basis. 

The workshop and project details are usually announced in March of every year.

2025 MVP Workshop Projects

• Fellowship Games: Ministry volunteers will develop a new board game that began during last year’s MVP. The project already has a foundational idea and structure but will still have room for creative input. Since this project encompasses all parts of creating a board game, all skills and talents can be utilized to serve in this project, even if you were not in this group in any of the prior years.

• Ministry Training Videos: Participants will learn and apply various aspects of video production, including graphics, sound/music, and cinematography. They will use these skills to assist in the assembly of training videos aimed at equipping the next generation in various church ministries.

• Content Curation: As media play an increasingly integral role in today’s life, ministry volunteers are needed to help curate content for our various digital platforms to share and encourage one another with God’s word. Volunteers will learn how to create Facebook/Instagram posts and reels with materials from the eLibrary, generate descriptions and hashtags for our YouTube videos, and/or develop podcast episodes.

• Graphic/User Experience Design: Ministry volunteers will be exposed to the TJC identity guidelines, UI/UX design, and common design software (Canva/Photoshop/Illustrator or similar) used in media ministry. Volunteers will assist in ongoing design projects such as apps, flyers/posters, stock videos/photos, and calendars.
