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).

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.

Preschool/Kindergarten

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.

56ers (5th & 6th grades)

Our 56ers (5^th and 6^th 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.

Staff & Leadership

March 22, 2023May 2, 2018 by Marc DAgusto

Staff & Elders

MBC subscribes to the philosophy of shared leadership.
Ministry Leadership Team | 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 Leadership Team (MLT):

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.

Get to Know Our Team ▼

Sunday service preaching rotation:

Our weekly Sunday service is the heart of our community. Regular shared time together in worship and fellowship unites us in purpose and encourages our shared vision. Dynamic worship and a rotation of teachers stimulates learning while fostering community.
