Good Friday

by

April 18th, 2025 at 7pm

Join us this Good Friday as we gather to remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. On this solemn night, we reflect on the weight of His suffering, the depth of His love, and the power of His final words: “It is finished” (John 19:30).

The cross is where our salvation was won. Jesus, the innocent Lamb of God, took upon Himself the sin of the world, bearing the punishment we deserved so that we might be reconciled to God. Though darkness covered the earth, and hope seemed lost, we know that this was not the end of the story.

This service will be a time of Scripture, reflection, and worship as we remember Christ’s ultimate act of love. Let us gather in reverence and gratitude, preparing our hearts for the joy that is to come on Easter morning.

Come, and behold the Lamb who was slain for us.

Living Lord’s Supper

by

April 17th, 2025 at 7pm

MBC invites you to share in an evening of remembrance and reflection as we witness the meal that changed the world.
A small band of men joined together to celebrate the Passover with their Rabbi. Although they were like many of those who gathered in Jerusalem that day, the meal they were about to share would mark the start of a weekend that would change history forever. Their teacher would announce that after three years of traveling, teaching, struggling, and experiencing miracles together one of them would betray him. Was it to be one of the violent Nationalists looking for a military leader to free them from Roman rule; the Judean who kept control of the group’s finances; the former tax collector who was hated by his own people; one of the fishermen of Bethsaida; the one who could only believe in what his own senses revealed; one of the brothers of thunder; or the one in whom the teacher could find no deceit?
Gather with the disciples as they share the memories of those closest to Jesus and struggled to grasp which of them would turn against their master, teacher, and friend and what that would mean for them and the Kingdom of God, and by extension, each one of us. We encourage you to invite your friends, family and neighbors. Admission is FREE.

Band of Brothers

by

Overview

September will begin the second full year of our Band of Brothers program at MBC! It is amazing to see what the Lord has done through and in this group, and we are so excited to see what the Lord will continue to do in our group. In the coming year we will continue with our vision:

“To cultivate an environment where young men can support each other through fellowship, Bible reading, and prayer. Our goal is to grow in the Lord as we tackle various topics and read challenging chapters of Scripture. We will delve into the deepest parts of our existence because the Lord Jesus is coming back, and we must be ready. Each of us has a divine assignment and spiritual gifts that we intend to discover and embrace. In short, we are cultivating spiritual warriors for Jesus.”

With the goals of: Cultivating Biblical worldviews. Bearing one another’s burdens. Confessing sins to one another. Adopting a Biblical view of masculinity. Establishing Biblical character. Till soil where seed can be planted, watered, and bear fruit. Establish ourselves in the ways of the Lord.

This year, we’re building a well-rounded calendar that balances meaningful topics with purposeful activities. To make that happen, our year will follow four distinct phases:

In our Foundation Phase, we will lay the groundwork for everything we’ll discuss throughout the year. We will return to the basics of Christianity because we need to know what we believe, why we believe it, and we must know it well. These truths shape who we are and who we aspire to be, and by studying them together, we will set a strong foundation for the year ahead.

Base Material Francis Chan: What is a Christian (Right Now Media Video Series)

Jesus is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. Without Him and His life, we have nothing to stand on. As we approach Easter, we will seek to grow more deeply acquainted with our Savior: who He is, what His character is like, and how we can become more like Him. We will reflect on the truths of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and intentionally apply them to our lives.

Base Material JD Greer: Who is Jesus (Right Now Media video series)

After Easter, we will turn our focus inward to who we are as individuals. More specifically: What is a man of God, and how do I become one? In today’s culture, the definition of “being a man” is not only ever shifting, but it often stands in direct contrast to the biblical picture of manhood. We will explore God’s Word to discover His design for a man and commit ourselves to growing together into the men He created us to be. During this phase, we will be inviting in strong men of God to share and teach their life experiences. Our goal is to create an environment of open discussion with more experienced men that are farther in their walk with the Lord than we are, and to also provide a space where connections with these men can flourish for future mentorship and opportunity.

Our culture constantly bombards us with messages, pressures, and ideas — and for a high school young man, there’s a lot to process. In a world saturated with sexual temptation, moral confusion, and cultural dilemmas, the question is: How do we see the world through the lens of the Christian faith? This summer, we will examine the culture around us, measure it against biblical truth, and discuss how to live faithfully in it. This phase will be led by an accredited Colson Fellow, equipping us with the tools to think clearly, live faithfully, and stand courageously for Christ in our time.

Special Events

At Band of Brothers, we feel it is important to create environments for growth outside of the normal “War Room Experience.” This year we are committed to doing a better job of creating those events to provide a well-rounded experience for our young men.

Often the punchline of Band of Brothers, hikes are something that we truly want to implement this year. These hikes will not only get us out in creation, but provide avenues of Bible study, spiritual growth and worship in a new environment.

Bonfires are already something we love at Band of Brothers. Some of the most impactful nights we have had are shared thoughts and experiences around the fire. Whether during the summertime on the beach, or in the height of winter around a burn barrel, we will continue to utilize this effective method of meeting style intermittently throughout the year.

A new item that we want to add this year. We would like to spend strategically placed meetings watching a film. Watching films as a group is a fun time to connect, but also an awesome time to learn together.

As a man, food is a cornerstone to everything we do. We must eat, so we shall. Throughout the year we will take the time to break bread with one another, whether at bonfires or at one off events, we feel that some of the best discussions of all time happen around the dinner table, so we will use that to our advantage.

Seminars are something new we want to do this year. We want to bring in well-rounded men of God from different walks in life to share their life experiences with our group. These will primarily happen during our Third phase, but also potentially at our bonfire nights.

Final Thoughts
As we step into this year of Band of Brothers, we do so with gratitude for what God has done, and expectation for what He will do. Every phase, meeting, and event is an opportunity to grow in Christ, sharpen one another, and prepare for the calling God has placed on our lives. Our prayer is that each young man would leave this year with a deeper love for Jesus, a stronger grasp of His Word, and a clear vision of what it means to live as a man of God today. Let’s commit ourselves fully to the work God wants to do in us for His glory, and our Good.

Sincerely,
Cory Dziedzic, Johnny Graves, Ben Youtkus & Tim Youtkus
Band of Brothers Leadership.
