About us

MBC Communion / Lords Table

The next Baptism will be:
August 25

Lord’s Table | We practice two ordinances at MBC: Baptism and the Lord’s Table. By participating in these ordinances, Christians proclaim both their individual faith in Christ and our whole congregation proclaims our unity in the Gospel. MBC believes that the Lord’s Supper (Communion) is a commemoration of the Savior’s death, and, through participating, we “proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.” MBC Articles of Faith, Article XI – To prepare our hearts for the Lord’s Supper we must understand that we are practicing these four things when we come to His table:   

We Worship

This ordinance is part of corporate worship, normally on the first Sunday of each month. This is why the Lord’s Table is for believers only. It is an act of the gathered family, the church. Unbelievers may be present, indeed, we welcome them to be present as there is nothing secretive about the Lord’s Supper, it is done in public, but it is the family meal for those who have already professed their faith in Jesus Christ and have come to worship.

 

We Remember

Human beings are prone to forgetfulness. This is especially true spiritually. Therefore, the mental action of all the participants of the Lord’s Supper is to focus our minds on Jesus, especially remembering his sacrificial and historical work of dying on the cross for our sins. 1 Corinthians 11:24-25 says “Do this in remembrance of me.” At the table we remember.

We Give Thanks

The word “Eucharist” in 1 Corinthians 11:24 means to “give thanks.” We are filled with gratitude at the table because Jesus paid our sin debt and provided for us in abundance all that we need.

We Practice Self-Examination

The Scripture says a person “ought to examine themselves before he or she eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on themselves. (1 Corinthians 11:28-29) It’s important that we come to the table with a clear conscience before God. We come and confess our sins and renew our covenant commitment before God.

 

For Further Study

Communion is explained in the following key Scriptures: Matthew 26:26-30, Mark 14:22-26, Luke 22:14-20, 1 Cor 11:23-32.

We Need a King

For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.
~1 Sam 16:7

The books of 1 and 2 Samuel are a historic account of how a loose confederacy of tribes comes together under the banner of a united nation and monarchy through the covenant of God. A shepherd boy is anointed king. A barren woman is given a son with prophetic significance. A taunting giant falls the ground in defeat. This is a story of hard-fought battles and gut-wrenching political betrayals. The Bible pulls no punches as it displays leaders who accomplish great feats for the armies of God, but who also usurp power, fall into adultery and even commit suicide. This sermon series draws on a number of major themes from the lives of Samuel, Saul and David, using them as examples for us, both positive and negative. Samuel guides Israel out of the time of the judges, Saul personifies the idolatry and unbelief of Israel and David is portrayed as a great hero of the faith and a worthy model to follow. Each of these leaders paint a nuanced picture of heroes and villains, pointing us toward our own need for the greater King, Jesus, and the importance of our obedience in response to his covenant.

Family Ministries Resource Page | We live in a complex world. Raising the next generation to own their faith has never been more challenging—or more necessary. Yet, in the Scriptures, we see three institutions that God created: The Family, The Church, and the Nation—but the family is the foundation of society.

Here at MBC, one of our core values is building strong families. One of the ways we do this is by equipping parents and their children to navigate the difficult issues of the day.

I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Begin Your Journey Here | The Gospel of Jesus Christ is Good News! But first, there is some bad news. The Bible tells the whole story of humanity in four parts:

Creation

The first book in the Bible is Genesis, and it says that God created the world and it was good (Gen 1:31). There He created a man and a woman and placed them in a garden called Eden. They were to be fruitful and multiply and to partner with God in caring for this world, and the presence of the glory of God was there with them … until sin came into the world.

 

Fall

The tragedy of the Bible is called the Fall, that moment when mankind rebelled against God and His right to govern and rule over their lives. Since this moment, all of creation has fallen into sin. Sin is disobeying God and his commandments, rebelling against God, and falling short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). And mankind is desperate and groaning for things to go back to the way they were supposed to be and awaits its promised liberation from bondage (Romans 8:19), until the promised redeemer would come… 

Redemption

In the fullness of time, God sent His son, Jesus Christ, to live the life we should have lived which was a perfect sinless life and to die the death we deserved. He died as a substitute on the cross for our sins, was buried, and then rose victoriously over the grave. He then gave his followers a commission to proclaim this Gospel (good news). The message of the Gospel is the message of God’s grace, mercy and the forgiveness of sins for all who believe.

Restoration

But this is not the end of the story… The testimony of the Bible is that God has every intention of renewing and restoring this world to a glory surpassing what it had at first. (Eph 3:20-21; Haggai 2:9) Jesus taught his disciples about the coming “renewal of all things.” (Matt 19:28). Our final destination is a renewed and restored world with resurrected bodies living with God who dwells among His people (Rev 21-22). This is why the good news is so good. We find that to be very exciting! 

So what do you do now?

Our response to the Gospel is to place our faith in Christ. Are you ready to trust Him? If you have recently made a decision to begin a relationship with Jesus, how wonderful! This means two things: First, Jesus has become your savior. Second, you have become a child of God. We call this Salvation. Becoming a follower of Jesus is the most important decision you can make in your life. Know how excited we are for you!
 

We want to help you in any way that we can. We hope Millington Baptist Church will be a place where you can connect with God, His word, and with Christian friends. Here are some important next steps you can take:

Baby Dedications

The next Baptism will be:
August 25

Let the little Children Come | At MBC we believe in the importance of building strong families. A key component of this value is raising children to know and love Jesus Christ. In light of this, we encourage parents to take make a public commitment to raise their children in the Lord—this is called a “baby dedication ceremony.” A baby dedication is a ceremony in which Christians parents make a commitment before the Lord to raise that child according to God’s Word and God’s ways.

This practice may be new to you depending on your church background. Baby dedication is NOT the same as infant baptism. We believe baptism is an individual decision a person makes when they are older and have made a commitment to follow Jesus Christ. For more information, see the BAPTISM page. By contrast, a baby dedication is a commitment by the parents, and an invitation to the larger church family, to help raise their child to follow Jesus. There are several good reasons for this practice.

Schedule Your Dedication

3 reasons to Dedicate your children

First

It models the concern and love Jesus had for little children.

As a church, we are people who love babies! We want to care and invest in the littlest and most vulnerable among us. Jesus said this in Matthew 19: “Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”” (Matthew 19:13-14). Baby dedication reflects the love Jesus had for children.

Second

It reminds the church of its calling to be an extended family.

Scripture teaches that the church is our spiritual family and following Jesus is costly (Ephesians 3:14-19; Mark 10:29-30). Parenting is hard work and God gives us an extended spiritual family who can help carry the Load. The church should love and support families in this good work of raising the next generation.

Third

It is an opportunity to share the Gospel with unbelievers.

During a baby dedication, families will often invite relatives to watch this important ceremony. Baby dedication offers an opportunity to share the Gospel message with those who might not yet believe. When asked—why are we dedicating this child? Because we want them to believe the Gospel—Jesus died for our sins, Jesus rose from the dead, and Jesus is coming back. That is the hope for our children!

How does the process work?

If you are interested in taking this important step as a family, the process will work like this:

  1. First, contact one of the pastors about your interest and fill out the baby dedication WORKSHEET.
  2. Second, you then meet with one of the pastors so they can get to know your family and organize a time to have the ceremony.
  3. Third, you will create a video of your family sharing why you want to dedicate your child. You can see an example video below.
  4. Finally, your video will be played during a service on a Sunday morning and you will take part in a short ceremony when you recite vows before the congregation—this is a public commitment to raise your child to know Jesus!

“Listen, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone. And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.

(De) Toxicity

Detox with the spiritual light and power of the Gospel.

This series is a practical experiential, topical series geared toward intentional Spiritual Formation as a congregational initiative and a church wide discipleship campaign. If you’re a new believer, a seasoned saint, a parent, a pastor, a teacher, a coach, a business executive, a social worker or anyone committed to changing and helping others change, this series will have great application for you. This series will overview time-tested principles of spiritual growth. It will cover 12 “rules” for the spiritual life. A “rule” is an organized spiritual guide or a way of living. There are 12 key areas of discipleship. A disciple is a follower of Jesus, a learner. These principles are designed to make you, a disciple of Jesus Christ, more like Jesus Christ, which is the goal of spiritual formation. This series will involve a small group initiative workbook for going deeper, available for reuse in the future.

 

 

 

 

Let’s face it, we live in a toxic world. We don’t like to admit it, but we can feel it. Look at your social media news feed, listen to the talking heads on cable news, read the statements of politicians and, yes, even take stock of the conversations happening in churches. One words seems to sum it up: toxic. This is not how the world should be.

 

Sadly, the church is not immune to division and toxicity. A prime example was the church in Corinth. Paul wrote his first letter to the Corinthians in response to problems in the church. Factions were forming, sexuality was being twisted, harsh disagreements were common and even the worship service was in chaos! Taking all that into account, Paul corrects the church. He identifies the toxic problem… and offers the Gospel solution: “Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance (1 Cor. 13:7, NLT).”

 

In this series, we are going to ask a simple question: how do we detox from life in this world? The word, toxic, refers to something negative, destructive, or ruinous—it is unhealthy. When we detox, we remove toxins from our system. We are cleansed. This is what Paul reminds the Corinthians: “You were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God (1 Cor. 6:11, NLT).” We are called to be different, to bring light to the dark, toxic places of relationships and society.

 

Over the next ten weeks, we will examine the areas where toxins have seeped into our world: our culture, our personalities, our families, our leadership, and yes… even ourselves. And each week, we discuss what it means to detox with the spiritual light and power of the Gospel.

Video: What to expect upon your arrival

A reservation is required to attend service in person.

Millington Baptist Church has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 as stated within our Campus Guidelines (below); however, the church cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. By reserving a seat below, you are acknowledging that seats are limited and an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present and do so at your own discretion. 

MBC Guidelines for COVID-19 Precaution 

Social Distancing

The Surgeon General and CDC strongly recommend that we keep social distancing (a 6’ buffer between people) during these times.

Yes, we will require the use of masks until further notice. These should be in place prior to entering any building and be worn properly throughout the Service. We regret to inform you that gaiter and bandana face coverings will not be acceptable. We will have masks available if you do not have one.

Hand sanitizer stations will be located throughout the campus.

Entering/Exiting the Building

Front doors to the sanctuary building will be propped open before and after services to prevent the need to touch door handles. Greeters/ushers will welcome you to the church with a smile and a wave at the appropriate distance.

Physical Contact

Please, as a general rule, avoid physical contact with others. While you may feel comfortable with some form of contact, other individuals may not. Feel free to wave hello from a safe distance.

Facility Changes

Hired help and/or Volunteers will be sanitizing and cleaning both before and in-between services. Special attention will be given to chairs, doorknobs, handles, and all contact surfaces.

The Fellowship Hall Café will be closed until further notice. 

Services will continue to be live-streamed on our website and on Facebook for those that choose to join us online.

Communion elements will be administered using a prepackaged, sealed bread, and juice cup. Individually wrapped gluten-free options will continue to be made available.

Offering plates will not be passed around. There will be a centralized area to submit offerings. We continue to encourage the convenience of online giving.

Pens/Connect Cards/Tithe Envelopes will be removed from circulation for the time being.

Commonly kept items such as pens and Bibles, will not be distributed or made available at this time. 

The Welcome Center will be closed.

MBC Kids program indoors is offered at the 10:45am service only. Pre-registration during your family’s indoor attendance registration is highly recommended as space is limited. Nursery and Preschool/Kindergarten available, as well as grades 1-6.

Click here for more details about policies we’re implementing to keep the kids and leaders safe.

Is there anyone who should not attend indoor services? People over the age of 65 and those with compromised immune systems are encouraged to stay home and watch online. Please join us online if you currently have these symptoms or have had them in the last week: fever over 100 degrees, cough or sore throat, shortness of breath or contact with anyone confirmed to have COVID-19 (in the last 14 days).

Will the music and preaching be live in the room? Or just a video playing? The service in the Sanctuary will be live in-person! To create an option for families with small children and make sure we have room for everyone, we will be streaming the service to our downstairs Overflow area.

Do we have to wear masks? Will we have masks available if I do not have one? Yes, we will require the proper use of masks until further notice. Please have them on before entering any building. We regret to inform you that gaiter and bandana face coverings will not be acceptable. We have masks available if you do not have one.

Can we sing? Yes! For the time being, we can sing with masks in place.

Will the restrooms be open? Currently our main level bathroom is under renovation. Please utilize the restrooms located in the lower level.

Will we receive a physical bulletin? For the time being, our weekly Enews Bulletin will continue to be digital only. If you would like to subscribe to this weekly publication, please email us at (communications@millingtonbaptist.org).

Will there be areas of the church campus cordoned off? Some campus buildings and rooms may be accessible, but only to those individuals participating in previously-approved church activities. Folks entering these spaces must adhere to the same guidelines as noted here (mandatory masks, 25% capacity and 6-feet of distance).

Will the drinking fountains be open? Filling a water bottle is recommended rather than drinking directly from the fountain.

Are people allowed to stick around after the service and fellowship? We are encouraging everyone to make their way out of the buildings fairly quickly after the conclusion of each service/activity to avoid close physical contact with others. You are welcome to continue conversations outside of the buildings at the appropriate distance.

What is MBC’s plan if someone presents signs of illness? Will you be able to safely take a temperature reading if necessary? We will have a touchless forehead thermometer available to take temperatures. If you have a temperature over 100 degrees, we will kindly ask you to leave and encourage you to watch our services online at home out of respect for others in attendance. If a child presents signs of illness, we will take them to the check-in area and take their temperature. If it is over 100 degrees, we will notify the parents to come pick them up.  

Can I sit with someone not in my family unit? We strongly recommend sitting with your family unit, but if both you and the individual/family are comfortable, you may join someone outside your family unit if there is space in their group of seats.

Are we capping the attendees per service? Yes. We will only accommodate as many people in each venue as allows for 25% of capacity and 6 feet of space between family units.

What if I miss my scheduled time, can I come to another service? Yes, but please make every effort to attend the service for which you have registered. This will help us keep proper numbers and leave space for visitors.

Is it ok for me to bring a snack for my child during service? We encourage you to enjoy a healthy breakfast at home and to please refrain from bringing food or beverages into the building.

Will we offer children’s programming? Yes. Children’s programming details can be viewed on our MBC Kids page.

Will we have a self-serve nursery available? The Nursery is not available at this time, but the Overflow space is accommodating for little ones and noise-friendly. We know that babies and children make unavoidable sounds during church! We hope to reopen the nursery in coming weeks.

Will we have coffee and refreshments available? Not at this time, but we hope to add in the future. Please enjoy at home before coming to service.

Will the Library be open? It will be closed for the time being.

Will there be any new volunteer positions you’ll need to serve with hospitality or maintain new cleaning guidelines? Yes, additional help is always needed and very much welcomed! Contact Scott Rajoppi to learn more about serving opportunities (srajoppi@millingtonbaptist.org).
