MBC 2024 Annual Business Meeting

Wednesday, March 19th

Our Annual Business Meeting is an important time for our church as we celebrate all that God is doing at MBC and plan for the exciting year ahead.

This year’s Annual Business Meeting will be conducted IN-PERSON in our Sanctuary on Wednesday, March 19, at 7pm.

Your participation is essential to this meeting’s success. According to our constitution, first we need 20% of active voting members to attend the meeting to constitute a quorum. Second, of those attending, we need a simple majority vote to both approve the annual operating budget and to elect members to the Board of Elders. Please make every effort to attend and vote.

Update 3/16/2023

The Annual Business Meeting was a great time for the church to recap the past fiscal year and to look forward to 2023-2024. Pastor Bob & Pastor Dave spoke about our plans to continue to be firmly planted, growing together, and investing in the lives of others. Larry Blakeman shared about the budget and new World Partners. We had a good time celebrating what God has done and expectant of the future of our church.

We did have quorum and voted unanimously to pass the proposed budget for 2023-2024.

Also, a motion carried unanimously for additional funding that was requested for 2022-2023. 

Hock Ng presented from the Elder Nominating Committee five new candidates: 

  • Jeff Callender (2nd term – 3 years)
  • Chris Dowden (1st term – 3 years)
  • Andrew Strain (1st term – 3 years)
  • Jan Torgrimsen (2nd term – 3 years)
  • Paul Wilford (Unexpired 1 year term – 1 year)

All gentlemen were approved.

Doug Hulin, Elder Vice-Chair, thanked our outgoing elders, Paul Achenbach and Hock Ng, for their investment, dedication, and leadership in so many areas. 

Pray for your involvement in MBC’s Vision based on Psalm 1:1-3.

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

Gather 25, Feb. 28, 7:30pm-10pm

On Friday February 28, Beginning at 7:30pm, MBC will be hosting “Gather25“. 

Gather25 is an unprecedented 25-hour global broadcast event telling the inspiring stories of the global Church, by the global Church. But it won’t be a gathering of the global Church without you.

Jesus followers in churches, campuses, arenas, and living rooms–from every continent and denomination–will join together across every time zone to watch the Gather25 broadcast that is free to everyone, everywhere.

For 25 hours, Gather25 is inviting believers across the world to pray, repent, worship, and discover how the love of Jesus is transforming the world through everyday people.

This is our moment in history to come together, be inspired by the stories of how God is moving across the earth, and be excited to share Jesus everywhere.

Disclaimer: This is a live event, and though we are excited to gather together with the global church for prayer, since multiple denominations will be represented, the views expressed may not necessarily be the views of MBC.

MBC will be broadcasting as a church corporately together Friday evening, and participants will be encouraged to continue to engage individually for the rest of the event through Saturday evening, March 1.

Band of Brothers

by

Band of Brothers meets on on the 1st & 3rd Thursday nights at 7pm in YFMB 201 & 202

At Band of Brothers, we aim to cultivate an environment where young men can support each other through fellowship, Bible reading, and prayer. Our goal is to grow in the Lord as we tackle various topics and read challenging chapters of Scripture. We will delve into the deepest parts of our existence because the Lord Jesus is coming back, and we must be ready. Each of us has a divine assignment and spiritual gifts that we intend to discover and embrace. In short, we are cultivating spiritual warriors for Jesus.

Our Goals: Cultivate a Biblical Worldview. Bear one another’s burdens. Confess sins to one another. Adopt a Biblical view of masculinity. Establish biblical character. Till soil where seed can be planted, watered and bear fruit. Establish ourselves in the ways of the Lord.
