A Series of Topical Devotionals on Unity

Hosted by Noah Graves

 This Summer Noah tackled the subject of Unity. As we look around our country we are so divided. Jesus desires we be unified in Him

 

John 12:20-21 states: “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”

 

Come check out our YouTube channel featuring this and other relevant topics.

Kids | The youngest members of our church family grow in their love and understanding of Jesus, encouraged and supported by their church community. Kids from birth through grade 6 hear the gospel and grow in their relationship with Jesus as Savior and Friend. They learn, play, and create in an environment that reflects God’s love for each of them. MBC Kids partners with families and the community to create roots for the young ones that are anchored in Christ’s love for them.

MBC Kids Philosophy of Discipleship | At MBC, we are passionate about discipleship. This resource was written to explain how we aim to lay the foundation for kids to grow in God’s Word while they are a part of our MBC Kids ministry. Download this document for more on our philosophy.

Our Nursery is located in the Main sanctuary building downstairs.

We have a wonderful, newly renovated space for our babies and toddlers (up to age 3 and potty trained). Kids enjoy engaging play time, Bible story time, and snack time. Nursery is provided at both of our service times, 9am and 10:45am.

Check-in begins at 8:45am and 10:30am in the Main building (if you have kids in the older classes, you can check them all in at either of the check-in locations: in the nursery or in the Education building’s Connection Corner). 

 

We have a wonderful team of Preschool/Kindergarten teachers ready to show your children the love of Jesus through playtime and through an engaging Bible storytime. This class meets in the Education building, Room 212, at both services.

Check-in begins at 8:45am and 10:30am in the Education building (please use the entrance with the ramp, and you’ll walk right into the check-in area, Connection Corner). Please tell our check-in greeter if your child(ren) will be staying for both services.

Our elementary class is for 1st -4th graders. We do both a large group teaching time and small groups. This age group meets in the Education building, Rooms 205/206, at both services.

Check-in begins at 8:45am and 10:30am in the Education building (please use the entrance with the ramp, and you’ll walk right into the check in area, Connection Corner). Please tell our check-in greeter if your child(ren) will be staying for both services.

Our 56ers (5th and 6th graders) have special classes, as they are the oldest kids in the MBC Kids program. The 56ers meet at 9am only, and there are two classes: 56ers boys meet in Room 213 and 56ers girls meet in Room 211.

Check-in begins at 8:45am in the Education building (please use the entrance with the ramp, and you’ll walk right into the check in area, Connection Corner). 56ers can sit with their families in the worship service if staying for both services, which is a great opportunity for kids to learn about worshiping God.

Children are welcome to join their parents for family worship services on December 31st.

Special update: we are launching a new electronic check-in system this fall!

Kids will receive a name tag, and parents will receive a tag with matching numbers. Parents must show their tag in order to pick up their kids.

 

Interested in serving with kids? We’re praying for the following roles to be filled: assistant teacher, check-in, and nursery. Contact Rachel Rickershauser  for more information.

Staff & Leadership

by

Staff & Elders

MBC subscribes to the philosophy of shared leadership.
Ministry Directors | Support Staff | Little Footprints Learning Center | Board of Elders

The Pastoral Leadership Team (PLT): MBC subscribes to the philosophy of plurality of leadership. Together, pastors & directors share in the responsibility for leading the day-to-day operations and ministries. Each pastor has specific areas of responsibility and oversight. Together they form a circle of leadership that ensures the mission and policies established by the MBC Elder Board are employed in a way that meets the needs of these areas and recognizes that the spirit of the church is realized when they operate in harmony. This benefits both the pastors and the community.

The Ministry Directors: These spiritually-mature professionals support the church and its leadership by focusing on specific areas of operation. Each of these individuals is guided by the goals of MBC and provides support to the pastoral staff. The biblically-prescribed standards for pastoral leadership give the local church considerable freedom to develop its own model of leadership in order to most effectively reach its community. Various forms, policies and procedures are employed in well governed churches. A church’s history, size, and the stage of development all influence which of the many forms will be the most effective and appropriate for a given organization at a given time.
