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.

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.

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 () with any questions.
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.
New Spiritual Formation Small Group – led by Pastor Dave and Juli Hentschel

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
This group is specifically designed for people who have little or no background in the Bible, but would like to take a look and see for themselves what it says.

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.

Serve with City Relief | City Relief
MBC is very excited to announce that we are serving with City Relief! We are so thrilled to offer the opportunity for you to serve those in our community who are in need.
SIGN UP TO SERVE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE!
Contact Tim Youtkus with any questions ().
Are you willing to step in and serve those in need? We hope you’ll consider joining us as we partner with CityRelief in reaching the needs of those in our community.
No prior experience is required. City Relief provides on-site training and guidance for all volunteers at the beginning of each outreach day.
Dress appropriately for the weather, as volunteers will be outside for the duration of the outreach. For winter outreaches, we strongly recommend dressing warmer than you think you’ll need.
We also ask volunteers to dress modestly, wear comfortable closed-toed shoes, and avoid wearing flashy or valuable jewelry.
Volunteers are encouraged to bring a water bottle. Phones, wallets, keys, and other valuables can be stored securely on the City Relief bus, at the Clifton base, or in the MBC van.
Yes. City Relief requires volunteers to be 18 years or older, or 16 years old with a parent or guardian present for the entire outreach.
City Relief outreaches are well-organized and generally safe environments, but—as with any public setting—situations can arise. Volunteers are asked to wear modest clothing, avoid giving out personal information (such as phone numbers or full names), and remain within sight of City Relief leaders at all times.
City Relief staff are trained in de-escalation and are present throughout the outreach to ensure volunteer and guest safety.
City Relief operates in rain or shine. Our neighbors on the street rely on the support provided through these outreaches, and their needs continue regardless of the weather. Volunteers should plan accordingly and dress for the conditions.
You’re Invited!
