Take MBC with you

We are very excited to roll out our new MBC app!

The Church isn’t a building – it’s people! We want to make sure that everyone can experience the MBC community and stay connected whenever they want.

Our app will expand the way we connect with both new individuals checking us out and those who call MBC their home. Its primary features keep you connected with information and personalized notifications to our various ministries, Sunday morning Live Stream, sermon archives, our podcast, giving access, and up-to-date information on our community activities and events. As a bonus, we also added the Bible for your convenience during the sermons or whenever you desire to connect with the Word of God.

There are three ways to get our app:

1. From your cell phone, text: “mbcnj app” to (833) 683-6726 and a link for direct download will be immediately sent;

2. Or search for Millington Baptist Church on or .

3. On your computer, you can go here to get the app sent to your phone.

Once you download it, please go to your app store and leave a great review to help others find it easier.

If you have attended our church for any period of time, then you know our mission is to expand the table for the glory of God and to be fully devoted to Christ, our church body and the community around us. This app is merely a small expression of our desire to make those connections and grow the body of Christ.

Stay tuned as new features will be added over time.

Small Groups

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.

Men's "Power Hour"

Leader: Jim Luedecker

Location: YFMB Room 202

Meeting Times: Saturday Mornings 7:00am to 8:30am

Description: Power Hour meets Saturday mornings from 7:00-8:30. It is a group of men seeking to know God better by concentrating on how He speaks to us through Scripture. After an opening prayer, we look at a portion of scripture directly, or use a topical book based on scripture, seeking not only knowledge, but wisdom: wisdom being the application of knowledge learned. But it is more, for it is a place where a man can share personal concerns, seeking help and guidance, knowing that everything discussed will be kept in strictest confidence by the group. We end with a time for prayer, as the Spirit moves us each to do so.

Contact Jim Luedecker (debjimluedecker@gmail.com) with any questions.

The Relief Bus

Next Serving Opportunity:
June 4, 4pm

Serve with City Relief | City Relief (www.cityrelief.org)

MBC is very excited to announce that we are serving with City Relief!

Contact Tim Youtkus with any questions (tim@millingtonbaptist.org).

MBC’s guest speaker is Josiah Haken, VP for Outreach Operations for The Relief Bus. Josiah’s Sermon entitled A Seat at the Table is based on Luke 14:1-11.

Hear about our friend Sarah’s relationship with New York City Relief, and her journey away from homelessness and into wholeness.

There are many who describe the record number of people sleeping in NYC and NJ shelters, in parks, in train stations, and bus terminals, as a problem that needs to be solved. City Relief doesn’t exist to solve problems, but to love people.

NY City Relief converted two school buses into mobile outreach centers that go directly to those who are most vulnerable, lonely, and hurting to provide a meal, new socks, toiletries, and connections to resources that offer a way out. Week after week, rain or shine, the Relief Bus throws a party on the sidewalk for anyone and everyone with a very simple message:

“God has not forgotten you. You are not alone. Tomorrow can be better than today.”

Tuesdays 7pm-8:30pm – YFMB Room 201 & Zoom Begins February 20th:

Topic: “Job – A Story of Unlikely Joy” by Lisa Harper.

Joy is the constant companion of the woman who trusts in the Lord. And while you can find it in friends, family, and circumstances, unfailing, persistent joy will only ever overflow from your relationship with Jesus. Just ask Job, the man from Uz who clung to God’s goodness while all his worldly joys were stripped away. But how is it possible to hold onto such joy in times of sorrow? In this 7-session study, discover the redemptive facet of Job’s suffering. Learn to view pain as a way to strengthen your faith, point others to the gospel, and trust in the Lord. Because His providence will never take you to a place where His grace will not sustain you.

Leaders: Irm Smith and Gail Loehr

Saturday, December 9, 8:00am – 9:30am, Fellowship Hall

The Men’s Ministry is calling all MBC men and their sons to join us on Saturday, March 9^th at 8:00am in Fellowship Hall for a time of fellowship, worship, and encouragement at our next Men’s Ministry breakfast.

It has been said that two of the greatest proofs for the truth of Scripture and Christianity are the number of fulfilled prophecies we see in Scripture and the power of God to change lives. At our upcoming breakfast we will have the opportunity to hear from two of our brothers in the Lord and witness how God pursued them and restored them into a relationship with Jesus Christ. Our brother Amit Nihilani will be sharing the testimony of God’s grace and mercy in their lives.

Your presence will also be an encouragement to the men from Market Street Mission who will also be joining us for this breakfast.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday March 9^th.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact:

All men including fathers and their sons are invited to join this event!

For more information, please contact Pete Lima or calling the church office at 908-647-0594.

What is Stand Courageous?

Where can men, husbands, and fathers find a model of manhood, leadership, and strength in a culture of gender confusion? We need men to be men, tough with compassionate strength, bent toward justice without compromise, locking arms and standing. We need to be the men God created us to be; warriors for all that is right, true, and just.

Stand Courageous is a ministry that seeks to help men develop a strong biblical character, cultivate positive habits, build and rebuild relationships, and make commitments that will move men closer to God’s good purpose and design – men who will Stand Courageous!

We invite you to join us at a Stand Courageous Men’s Conference to discuss critical aspects of masculinity. These conferences are led by men who struggle with the same issues you do, and will invest in unpacking our role as a defender, provider, instructor, and battle buddy so that we can have the generational influence as a “chaplain” inside and outside the home.

Adults

Sunday Morning Seminars & Classes

Adult Education | Our education program provides a rich variety of learning opportunities on Sunday mornings to complement the worship experience. Participants explore in depth various books of the Bible or a topic of current and shared interest. Old and young, new and seasoned believers, we never stop learning. All are welcome to take this journey even if you are someone with questions about the faith. Each class provides a combination of leader-led presentation and class discussion that allows us to learn from each other as we study God’s word together. As a result, we grow in our understanding of our Lord and the greater story He’s calling us into.

Women’s Bible Class | 1st & 2nd Peter

Leader: Kerri Mullins

This class meets weekly on Sundays in the YFMB Room 204 at 9am. Please join us for coffee, fellowship, prayer support and discussion as we move through a book in the Bible verse by verse. We are currently in 1st and 2nd Peter. All are welcome, whether you have been studying the bible for many years or you have just started on your journey in the Word.

Class continues throughout the year.

Men’s Class | Genesis: God’s Covenant with the Patriarchs

Leader: Paul Achenbach

This class meets weekly on Sundays in the YFMB room 202 at 9am. This course is a chapter-by-chapter study beginning with God’s Covenant with Abraham.

Class will resume on Sunday, September 7th 2025.

Fall Term: 9:00am Adult Class | Systematic Theology: Knowing God Through His Word

Leaders: David Hentschel, Ken Huber, & Jack Kraus

What do Christians believe—and why does it matter? This course offers a clear and accessible overview of key doctrines of the Christian faith, rooted in Scripture and shaped by centuries of faithful reflection. This class will explore essential theological truths such as the nature of God, the authority of Scripture, the person and work of Christ, the role of the Holy Spirit, salvation, the church, and the end times.

Designed for adult learners at all stages of spiritual maturity, this course will help participants grow in biblical literacy, deepen their confidence in God’s character and purposes, and apply rich theological truths to everyday life and discipleship.

Class will begin on Sunday, September 7th, 2025 through December 21, will break for the winter, and resume in the spring from March – June 2026.

Fall Term (Beginning Sunday, October 5th): 10:45am Adult Class | Faith Explored: A study in the book of Galatians

Leaders: Paul & Kathy Wilford

In the New Testament book of Galatians, the apostle Paul begins by reminding the church in Galatia that there is only one gospel. He ends by urging them to “keep in step with the Spirit.” What are some practical ways we can do this? As new believers or even more mature Christians, how do we grow in faith and learn to demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit?

This 8-week Sunday school class is designed for those new in the Christian faith or still exploring the faith, although all are welcome. Prior Bible knowledge is not required, and questions are encouraged! We will read through the book of Galatians at a slow pace, with a bit of homework assigned each week.

Who? Everyone who went through Christianity Explored, and anyone else who would benefit from looking closely at the foundations of our faith, particularly as laid out in the book of Galatians.

How? A workbook, and a brief assignment for each week.

Register HERE

Class will begin on Sunday, October 5th and run through Sunday, November 23rd and will meet in the Youth & Family Ministry Building (Zoom Option Available).

Winter Term: 9:00am Adult Class | Preparations – Death, Dying… & Living

Leaders: Jack Kraus

Preparations is an 8-week course on Death, Dying, & Living. This course will deal with the definition, origin, and fact of death; what happens after we die; living with the end in mind, both in the mundane areas of wills, living wills, hospice care and the like, and the more basic aspect of actually living “Coram Deo” – before the face of God.

Class will begin on Sunday, January 4th – February 22nd, 2026. This class will meet weekly in the YFMB Great room at 9am.
