Looking for answers, meaning, or just a place to ask? Join us for a seven-week journey through the heart of Christianity!

Location: Youth & Family Ministry Building

Can we know God?

Seven sessions looking at Jesus’s life in Mark’s gospel, meeting the man who claimed to be God and discovering how he changed history.


Christianity Explored
A relaxed and informal way of sharing the best news you can ever hear, and gives people space and time to think about the big questions of life.

What’s each session about?

Over seven sessions, guests will read Mark’s Gospel to find out more about the life of the person at the heart of the Christian faith – Jesus Christ.

The structure of each session is simple: a short Bible study, a talk (you can give your own using our talk outlines or use our films) and a discussion based on the talk.

We Need a King, After God’s Heart
An Expositional Study of the Life of David from 1 & 2 Samuel

by David Hentschel & Bob Erbig

Step into the pages of Scripture and discover the rise of a kingdom, the fall of leaders, and the search for a King who truly reflects the heart of God.

In We Need a King after God’s Heart, you’ll be taken on an expositional journey through the books of 1 and 2 Samuel—where a loose confederacy of tribes becomes a united nation under God’s covenant, and the life of David unfolds with all its triumphs and tragedies.

From the anointing of a humble shepherd boy, to the dramatic defeat of a taunting giant, to the rise and fall of kings, this study brings out the raw, real, and redemptive narrative of Israel’s journey toward monarchy—and ultimately, toward Christ.

Explore powerful biblical themes through the lives of:

  • Samuel, the prophet who bridges the time of judges to kings.
  • Saul, the embodiment of unbelief and idolatry.
  • David, a flawed but faithful man after God’s own heart.

Through their victories and failures, you’ll be challenged to see your own need for the greater King—Jesus, and the call to respond with obedience to His covenant.

Don’t miss this powerful and transformative study.

We Need a King, After God’s Heart

by David Hentschel & Bob Erbig

Now available on Kindle and in paperback, All proceeds from the purchase of this book go to MBC.

The books of 1 and 2 Samuel are a historic account of how a loose confederacy of tribes comes together under the banner of a united nation and monarchy through the covenant of God. A shepherd boy is anointed king. A barren woman is given a son with prophetic significance. A taunting giant falls the ground in defeat. This is a story of hard-fought battles and gut-wrenching political betrayals. The Bible pulls no punches as it displays leaders who accomplish great feats for the armies of God, but who also usurp power, fall into adultery and even commit suicide. This sermon series draws on a number of major themes from the lives of Samuel, Saul and David, using them as examples for us, both positive and negative. Samuel guides Israel out of the time of the judges, Saul personifies the idolatry and unbelief of Israel and David is portrayed as a great hero of the faith and a worthy model to follow. Each of these leaders paint a nuanced picture of heroes and villains, pointing us toward our own need for the greater King, Jesus, and the importance of our obedience in response to his covenant.

Building Healthy Churches

The letter of 1 Timothy is one of the pastoral epistles, written by Paul, as a mentor to a younger protégé Timothy, a pastor and significant part of his first century itinerate ministry. This book provides us with a holistic vision for the church, it is concerned with what the church believes, how it is led, and seeks to shape how it lives in public. This letter teaches us about commendable Christian leadership and how the church should be known for how we are concerned for those less fortunate as it seeks to follow Jesus. This epistle is helpful in the building of healthy churches and it inspires us to collectively fight the good fight of faith.

Easter Sunday

by

April 20th, 2025 at 8am & 9:30am & 11am

He Is Risen! This Easter Sunday, we gather to celebrate the greatest victory in history—the resurrection of Jesus Christ. His triumph over sin and death is the foundation of our faith and the source of our eternal hope.

In 2 Corinthians 5, the Apostle Paul reminds us of the life-transforming power of the resurrection. Because Christ died and rose again, we no longer live for ourselves but for Him (v. 15). Through His sacrifice, we are made new—“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation” (v. 17). This is the miracle of Easter: God, in His mercy, has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ.

The empty tomb is more than proof of Christ’s power over death; it is an invitation to new life. Paul declares that we have been given the ministry of reconciliation (v. 18), called to share the good news that God no longer counts our sins against us because of Jesus. In a world filled with brokenness, this message of reconciliation and renewal is more needed than ever.

As we celebrate Christ’s resurrection today, let us reflect on what it means to be a “new creation.” What areas of our lives need His renewing power? How can we live as ambassadors of His grace, proclaiming the victory of the risen King?

This Easter, may we rejoice in the hope we have in Christ, embrace our identity as God’s redeemed people, and proclaim with confidence: He is risen indeed!

Good Friday

by

April 18th, 2025 at 7pm

Join us this Good Friday as we gather to remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. On this solemn night, we reflect on the weight of His suffering, the depth of His love, and the power of His final words: “It is finished” (John 19:30).

The cross is where our salvation was won. Jesus, the innocent Lamb of God, took upon Himself the sin of the world, bearing the punishment we deserved so that we might be reconciled to God. Though darkness covered the earth, and hope seemed lost, we know that this was not the end of the story.

This service will be a time of Scripture, reflection, and worship as we remember Christ’s ultimate act of love. Let us gather in reverence and gratitude, preparing our hearts for the joy that is to come on Easter morning.

Come, and behold the Lamb who was slain for us.

Membership

by

Next Membership Class is May 8 @ 6:30pm

Let us know if you are interested in joining our community HERE.

Sign-up for the next class October 30th

Why Membership

Unlike a social-club membership, where the organization exists to serve the members, church membership is more akin to being in a family, or sports team. Membership at MBC exists as a united group of believers who are counted on in an attempt to fulfill a common purpose of becoming a provider of God’s love and care to others. We are a church not for ourselves, but for others. Members commit to joining a spiritual family that provides encouragement and support to one another. We are called to a higher degree of responsibility, service and sacrifice. Our elders and leaders pledge to assist our members with care, counsel, prayer and teaching.


Is Church Membership Biblical?

We hope that, as the Lord leads, you make a covenant to be part of our church family.

Four Steps to becoming a Member…

If you are interested in becoming a member please read through our four-step process below.

We want you to make an informed decision about joining our church. We periodically offer a Membership class that explains our values and beliefs and discusses the next steps to joining MBC. All prospective members are invited to attend our Membership class. This is where you will learn about the history and vision of MBC, acquaint yourself with its ministries and opportunities, and dialogue with elders and other congregants on questions you may have about the church or Christian community. The curriculum is composed of one 3-hour class in which we cover: Articles of Faith & Doctrinal Positions, Church Covenant, Vision & Mission Life. 

Upon completion, those who attended are able but not obligated to sign up for a membership interview, the second step of the membership process. 

For more information on how to become a member please contact the main office at: 908.647.0594 or reach out to MBC’s email.

Baptism: 

For many, baptism is the first public step of obedience to Christ. If you have not been baptized following salvation, we ask you to take this step before becoming a Member.

Signing the Covenant

Sign the statement of faith and church covenant, and the application would go to the elders.

Meet with an Elder

The final step is for the prospective member meets with an Elder for approximately 45 mins to provide basic biographical information and recount God’s converting work in his or her life.
