Feeding Hands

by

Neighbor Connect

We are excited to participate 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. 

 

How it works… 

 

Collect boxes of food and connect with immediate neighbors who need a hand. Locally prepared boxes (List of Food Items) of groceries will be distributed first to:

  1. Immediate neighbors in need.

  2. Feeding Hands for local distribution (Click for Locations).

  3. 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.

Take MBC with you

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.

Underground Sessions

What you missed on
October 6, 2018, 9am & 6pm

Navigating sexual & gender identity issues faithfully and compassionately.

It was our pleasure to host this engaging leadership training session with special guest speaker Dr. Mark Yarhouse.

We addressed topics related to the LGBT community and how we, as Christians, are to live in light of this. Our main speaker will be Dr. Mark Yarhouse, Professor of Psychology at Regent University and Director of the Institute for the Study of Sexual Identity. Dr. Yarhouse is a sought-after speaker on this topic. He brings years of research and experience to the conversation, as well as a pastoral heart for the church.

 

Some of the greatest challenges the church faces today are: How to navigate sexual and gender identity issues, and how do we offer wise care and counsel? While this conversation is rich with nuance, the direction taken often leads to isolation, individual crisis, family rupture, and a culture war. Many Christians are concerned with how to be both biblical, as well as compassionate towards those in the LGBT community. Parents genuinely want to know how to have these conversations with their children. Children’s and youth volunteers are seeking to be equipped when this topic arises. Do you also have questions? Mark Yarhouse equips ministers so they can faithfully navigate the topic of sexual identity in a way that is honest, compassionate, and accessible.
