Begin Your Journey Here | The Gospel of Jesus Christ is Good News! But first, there is some bad news. The Bible tells the whole story of humanity in four parts:

Creation

The first book in the Bible is Genesis, and it says that God created the world and it was good (Gen 1:31). There He created a man and a woman and placed them in a garden called Eden. They were to be fruitful and multiply and to partner with God in caring for this world, and the presence of the glory of God was there with them … until sin came into the world.

Fall

The tragedy of the Bible is called the Fall, that moment when mankind rebelled against God and His right to govern and rule over their lives. Since this moment, all of creation has fallen into sin. Sin is disobeying God and his commandments, rebelling against God, and falling short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). And mankind is desperate and groaning for things to go back to the way they were supposed to be and awaits its promised liberation from bondage (Romans 8:19), until the promised redeemer would come…

Redemption

In the fullness of time, God sent His son, Jesus Christ, to live the life we should have lived which was a perfect sinless life and to die the death we deserved. He died as a substitute on the cross for our sins, was buried, and then rose victoriously over the grave. He then gave his followers a commission to proclaim this Gospel (good news). The message of the Gospel is the message of God’s grace, mercy and the forgiveness of sins for all who believe.

Restoration

But this is not the end of the story… The testimony of the Bible is that God has every intention of renewing and restoring this world to a glory surpassing what it had at first. (Eph 3:20-21; Haggai 2:9) Jesus taught his disciples about the coming “renewal of all things.” (Matt 19:28). Our final destination is a renewed and restored world with resurrected bodies living with God who dwells among His people (Rev 21-22). This is why the good news is so good. We find that to be very exciting!

So what do you do now?

Our response to the Gospel is to place our faith in Christ. Are you ready to trust Him? If you have recently made a decision to begin a relationship with Jesus, how wonderful! This means two things: First, Jesus has become your savior. Second, you have become a child of God. We call this Salvation. Becoming a follower of Jesus is the most important decision you can make in your life. Know how excited we are for you!

We want to help you in any way that we can. We hope Millington Baptist Church will be a place where you can connect with God, His word, and with Christian friends. Here are some important next steps you can take:

Next Steps:

Feeding Hands

The next Volunteer Opportunity is:
March 16-20

MBC is participating in a new initiative from our partner organization, Feeding Hands. The goal of Neighbor Connect is to spark a “viral” program of neighbor connection that encourages folks to safely connect with their immediate neighbors and “work from home” to feed and care for their neighborhood and community.

Are you in need? We are here to help.

The first step is to contact Jim Romaine, MBC’s Feeding Hands representative, to find out if there’s a Neighborhood Captain in your area.
If there is a Neighborhood Captain in your area, Jim will connect you with that person so you can obtain needed supplies safely and expediently.
If there are no nearby Neighborhood Captains, we encourage you to visit the Feeding Hands Food Pantry, located at Emmanual Church, 100 Grant Avenue in Somerville. (Please visit the Feeding Hands website to learn more about what to expect on your first visit and what to bring.)

Feeding Hands Mission

Feeding Hands exists to live out God’s commandment to care for the poor by loving and serving our neighbors in need.

We will build an organization of excellence, modeling how to develop programs such as a pantry having a profound impact on both the poor and those who serve them. Service to the poor, when done right, changes the lives of those in need, builds the discipleship walk of those who serve, and glorifies their creator. We will engage the community, especially Christians and their churches, helping them to understand how to utilize their gifts to create vibrant change both inside and outside their walls and hearts.

For more information check out their website.

Immediate neighbors in need.
Feeding Hands for local distribution (Click for Locations).
Your local community food pantry for those who are located outside the Central NJ area.

Working together, our hands will feed deep needs in our communities for connection that last well beyond the duration of this pandemic. Visit the Feeding Hands website to learn more.

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.
