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. To this end, MBC encourages meeting in small groups to support each other and grow together in faith.

Participate in a Small Group

Groups have three specific purposes: fellowship, scripture, and prayer bringing about both individual spiritual growth and authentic relationship.

 

Locations: Below are the current small groups. We invite you to plug into one of them. Contact the group leader to verify the start date, time and locations:

TEN = The Empty(ing) Nesters
TEN is for couples who have, or are on their way to, an “empty nest”.
We have just spent twenty years being Moms & Dads, and all that goes with that… . Where is my walk with the Lord? Is it healthy, neglected, or still parked where it was eight years ago?
The intent of TEN is to support parents as they transition into a new season of life. Together we can explore God’s calling upon our hearts/lives in this new station of life, and to what and where He may be calling us next.
TEN will seek to engage is participants by:
  • Being intentional about deepening our walk with the Lord through focused studies
  • Building meaningful below the surface relationships by spending time together
  • Serving our church / community

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.

Leaders: Led by Ken and Andrea Herold

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

This 8-week study will be utilizing the Spiritual Formation Workbook, a resource of Renovare (from the latin meaning “renew”). Together, we will explore the six major dimensions of the spiritual life found in the life of Christ and Christian tradition: The Contemplative Tradition – The Holiness Tradition – The Charismatic Tradition – The Social Justice Tradition – The Evangelical Tradition – and The Incarnational Tradition.

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.

The Investigators study will be held in a relaxed, welcoming environment, and is an excellent opportunity for you to invite that questioning friend who is seeking to learn more. 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.

Why We Partner

City Relief has been one of MBC’s strategic local partners for many years. We value their commitment to meeting individuals experiencing homelessness with dignity, consistency, and Christ-centered compassion. Their work aligns closely with our desire to engage our community in ways that are both meaningful and sustainable.
As a church, we believe that caring for those facing homelessness involves more than financial support. Scripture calls us not only to give generously but also to go—to be present with people, to listen, to pray, and to meet needs in practical ways. Serving alongside City Relief allows our congregation to live this out in a tangible and faithful expression of the gospel.
Our partnership reflects a simple conviction: the Church is at its best when it combines generosity with active service. By joining City Relief on their mobile outreaches, we have the opportunity to step beyond our walls and participate directly in the work God is doing on the streets of our region.

What Does an Outreach Day Look Like?

Our outreach days begin early. We depart from MBC at 7:15 AM sharp and travel to the City Relief base in Clifton, NJ. Volunteers who prefer to meet us directly at the base are welcome to do so.
Upon arrival, we meet with the City Relief outreach leaders who guide us through the day. Before heading out, we participate in essential preparation work—making drinks, bagging bread, loading the buses, and helping prepare City Relief’s well-known soup. These behind-the-scenes tasks play a meaningful role in ensuring the outreach runs smoothly.
Once everything is ready, we load into City Relief vehicles and depart for the outreach site. Throughout the outreach, volunteers can serve in a variety of ways: handing out soup, drinks, and resources; offering hospitality and conversation; or assisting behind the scenes by scooping soup and replenishing supplies. There is a place for every volunteer to contribute.
At the conclusion of the outreach, we return to the Clifton base to assist with cleanup. After wrapping up, we head back to MBC, typically returning by 4:30 PM (often earlier depending on the day).

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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

Men

Mens Breakfast 2023Saturday, 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 9th 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 9th.

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.

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.

Adult Class | Cultivating the Christian Life: Firmly Planted” Small Group experience

Leaders: Andrew Strain, MBC Elder & Amy Huber, Director of Discipleship and Connections

This course is the first track in a three-track series which lays out the essential foundation for MBC’s discipleship journey. Like a seed planted in good soil, spiritual life begins by anchoring ourselves firmly in the truth of the Gospel. Designed as a community small group, this track will be highly practical in nature as participants learn to plant their feet on solid theological ground and embrace the seed of the Gospel daily as the source of life and transformation.
From there, roots begin to grow deeper. We address the heart, not just behavior, learning to identify the root issues beneath our struggles and to understand our new identity in Christ. Rather than pursuing quick fixes or surface change, this track cultivates honest repentance, renewed thinking, and confidence in who we are and whose we are.
By the end of Track 1, participants will be grounded in Gospel truth, rooted in love, and established in a biblical understanding of spiritual growth. This is where stability forms, where faith deepens, and where real transformation begins beneath the surface ($25 Cultivating the Christian Life Workbook is recommended but not required).

Register HERE

Class will be on Sundays at 10:45am for four consecutive weeks beginning March 15 through April 12 (except for Easter Sunday) in YFMB 204.
