MBC Small Groups

Connecting with others | As a community living in hope our goal is to be more inclusive, openly welcoming people from any place and walk of life, uniting us in a pursuit of becoming a more balanced, inter-generational, family-centered body. To this end, MBC encourages meeting in small groups to support each other and grow together in faith.

Participate in a Small Group

Groups have three specific purposes: fellowship, scripture, and prayer bringing about both individual spiritual growth and authentic relationship.

 

Locations: Below are the current small groups. We invite you to plug into one of them. Contact the group leader to verify the start date, time and locations:

Interested in Leading or Hosting a Small Group?

Small groups are a primary way that we seek to live in authentic community at MBC.

Once the social restrictions get lifted, we are eager to meet again in small groups and even add new groups.

If you are interested in leading, co-leading, or hosting a small group, please indicate your interest on the Leader Interest Form.

For more information or have any questions, please contact Amy Huber.

TEN - The Empty(ing) Nesters
Leaders: Carter & Suzy Parker
 
TEN = The Empty(ing) Nesters
 
TEN is for couples who have, or are on their way to, an “empty nest”.
 
We have just spent twenty years being Moms & Dads, and all that goes with that… . Where is my walk with the Lord? Is it healthy, neglected, or still parked where it was eight years ago?
 
The intent of TEN is to support parents as they transition into a new season of life. Together we can explore God’s calling upon our hearts/lives in this new station of life, and to what and where He may be calling us next.
 
TEN will seek to engage is participants by:
  • Being intentional about deepening our walk with the Lord through focused studies
  • Building meaningful below the surface relationships by spending time together
  • Serving our church / community
 
If you have any questions we’d welcome the opportunity to speak with you:
suzyparker5@me.com
carter.parker@gmail.com or 908.451.2012
 
Group meets every other Sunday in the Fellowship Hall from 6:30pm – 8:00pm.
New! Spiritual Formation Small Group

New Spiritual Formation Small Group – led by Pastor Dave and Juli Hentschel

This 8-week study will be utilizing the Spiritual Formation Workbook, a resource of Renovare (from the latin meaning “renew”). Together, we will explore the six major dimensions of the spiritual life found in the life of Christ and Christian tradition: The Contemplative Tradition – The Holiness Tradition – The Charismatic Tradition – The Social Justice Tradition – The Evangelical Tradition – and The Incarnational Tradition.

Successfully used by thousands of Spiritual Formation Group participants, A Spiritual Formation Workbook has been completely revised to correlate with Richard J. Foster’s “Streams of Living Water.” Its new and updated exercises and teachings offer fresh perspectives on Christian faith and practice.

The price for the book is $12.00. Because of restrictions, we will meet via Zoom as of right now.

Meets bi-monthly on Sundays at 7pm.

Begins: September 20, 2020

Please contact Pastor Dave (dave@millingtonbaptist.org) for more information.

We will meet every other week for 7 weeks, each week looking at 7 different encounters people had with Jesus.  Contact Paul Wilford or Kathy Wilford for meeting location and more details.
