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 Pastor Dave Hentschel.

Leader: Krisana Ukritnukun

Meets Tuesdays from 8pm-9pm via Zoom beginning September 20th, 2022.

MBC “Risen Motherhood” Podcast Group is an online community that gathers weekly to reflect on the gospel-hope for moms with young children. Each podcast is about 20 minutes long and brings gospel truths to everyday topics of motherhood. Partner with us during this season of Motherhood on Zoom every Tuesday, 8pm.

“You might think that Scripture doesn’t have much to say about the food you make for breakfast, how you view your postpartum body, or what school choice you make for your children, but a deeper look reveals that the Bible provides the framework for finding answers to your specific questions about modern motherhood.” – Risen Motherhood

Please contact Krisana Ukritnukun 

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.
