Disability Ministry

March 20, 2026February 23, 2026 by Noah Graves

Our Vision
Weakness Is Not the Exception. It’s the Canvas.

Throughout Scripture, God consistently reveals His glory not through strength, achievement, or perfection—but through limitation, suffering, and dependence. From Jacob’s limp to Moses’ stammering tongue, from Mephibosheth welcomed at the king’s table to the man born blind, the biblical witness is clear: disability is not an exception to the image of God, but an expression of it. At Millington Baptist Church, Upside Down Glory is our commitment to live out this conviction together—building a church family where every person, of every ability, is welcomed, discipled, and empowered as an essential member of the Body of Christ.

This ministry is more than a program—it is a culture. Through our partnership with Joni and Friends, our Disability Leadership Team (DsLT), and a growing network of care, hospitality, and outreach, we are working toward a church that looks like the Kingdom: a table with room for everyone. Whether you are personally navigating disability, loving someone who is, or simply answering a call to serve the overlooked, there is a place for you here. Explore the resources below, join our team, and help us become a church known for the upside-down, glory-revealing love of Jesus Christ.

“Dignity before ability. Belonging before healing.”

Christ-Centered
Every act of service reflects the compassion and truth of Jesus.

Collaboration
We partner across ministries with unity, humility, and shared purpose.

Learning Posture
We pursue continual growth in understanding and practice.

Hospitality
We create environments of belonging for every individual and family.

Outreach
We engage our community as ambassadors of Christ’s inclusive love.

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.

MBC 175th Anniversary Banquet

Pastor Bob & Pastor Dave spoke about our plans to continue to be firmly planted, growing together, and investing in the lives of others. Larry Blakeman shared about the budget and new World Partners.

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

We are offering childcare during the meeting as needed. Must register by March 12th please.

When Love Hurts Group

January 26, 2026January 20, 2026 by Noah Graves

This Group will begin:
February 17th

When Love Hurts: Parents of Adult Prodigal Children

Have you noticed distance between your Adult Child and you in recent years? Has your Adult Child gone “No Contact” or cut you off completely? Do you have less communication with your adult child or does it feel like you are “walking on eggshells” when you speak with them? Did you know Social Media/Culture plays a large role in this?

Estrangement has reached epidemic proportions in recent years. If you Google it, you will find that 27% of adult children are estranged from both or one of their parents – that is one in four households. Some research suggests 40% experience one family estrangement.

This new group aims to provide support for parents who are hurting in these situations through group support, discussion, prayer and spiritual discernment.

This group will meet Tuesday nights at 6:30pm at MBC starting 2/17.
