The Book of 2nd Timothy

March 12, 2026March 11, 2026 by Noah Graves

The Book of 2nd Timothy

Sermon series on passing the faith to the next generation. MBC's 175th year of gospel ministry.

The letter of 2 Timothy is one of the pastoral epistles, written by Paul as a mentor to his protégé Timothy, a pastor and part of his itinerate ministry. 2 Timothy is Paul’s final letter written just before he is martyred. This heartfelt letter teaches us that following Jesus involves much risk and tension. But in those difficult times, Jesus’ love for us also becomes more tangible and real. In this final letter, Paul teaches us that the treasure of the gospel should be guarded, no matter the cost. This letter inspires us to collectively fight the good fight of faith amidst tumultuous times.

Disability Ministry

March 20, 2026February 23, 2026 by Noah Graves

Our Vision
Weakness Is Not the Exception. It’s the Canvas.

Throughout Scripture, God consistently reveals His glory not through strength, achievement, or perfection—but through limitation, suffering, and dependence. From Jacob’s limp to Moses’ stammering tongue, from Mephibosheth welcomed at the king’s table to the man born blind, the biblical witness is clear: disability is not an exception to the image of God, but an expression of it. At Millington Baptist Church, Upside Down Glory is our commitment to live out this conviction together—building a church family where every person, of every ability, is welcomed, discipled, and empowered as an essential member of the Body of Christ.

This ministry is more than a program—it is a culture. Through our partnership with Joni and Friends, our Disability Leadership Team (DsLT), and a growing network of care, hospitality, and outreach, we are working toward a church that looks like the Kingdom: a table with room for everyone. Whether you are personally navigating disability, loving someone who is, or simply answering a call to serve the overlooked, there is a place for you here. Explore the resources below, join our team, and help us become a church known for the upside-down, glory-revealing love of Jesus Christ.

“Dignity before ability. Belonging before healing.”

Christ-Centered
Every act of service reflects the compassion and truth of Jesus.

Collaboration
We partner across ministries with unity, humility, and shared purpose.

I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Cultivating the Christian Life: Firmly Planted

March 9, 2026February 16, 2026 by Noah Graves

Leaders: Andrew Strain, MBC Elder & Amy Huber, Director of Discipleship and Connections

This course is the first track in a three-track series which lays out the essential foundation for MBC’s discipleship journey. Like a seed planted in good soil, spiritual life begins by anchoring ourselves firmly in the truth of the Gospel. Designed as a community small group, this track will be highly practical in nature as participants learn to plant their feet on solid theological ground and embrace the seed of the Gospel daily as the source of life and transformation.
From there, roots begin to grow deeper. We address the heart, not just behavior, learning to identify the root issues beneath our struggles and to understand our new identity in Christ. Rather than pursuing quick fixes or surface change, this track cultivates honest repentance, renewed thinking, and confidence in who we are and whose we are.
By the end of Track 1, participants will be grounded in Gospel truth, rooted in love, and established in a biblical understanding of spiritual growth. This is where stability forms, where faith deepens, and where real transformation begins beneath the surface ($25 Cultivating the Christian Life Workbook is recommended but not required).

Class will be on Sundays at 10:45am for four consecutive weeks beginning March 15 through April 12 (except for Easter Sunday) in YFMB 204.

Easter Sunday 2026

Kids Programming

11am: Family worship, nursery-preschool provided.

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.

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 2026

April 3rd, 2026 at 7pm

No Childcare available.

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 remembrance 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.

In the Upper Room – Maundy Thursday 2026

March 25, 2026February 9, 2026 by Noah Graves

Thursday, April 2, 7pm, Sanctuary

No Childcare available.

Come and join us for Maundy Thursday 2026! Our service will be at 7pm at MBC and we will be blessed to have another performance this year entitled “In The Upper Room”. We will also be having a time of communion during the night. We hope you can join us.

Experience the powerful story of Mary, a Jerusalem widow navigating doubt and devotion in David Dunlap’s “In the Upper Room.” As she opens her home to Jesus and his disciples, her private sanctuary becomes the historic site of the Last Supper. Join us for this moving exploration of faith, sacrifice, and the quiet courage it takes to support a divine calling.

Palm Sunday 2026

February 9, 2026February 9, 2026 by Noah Graves

March 29th, 2026 at 9am & 10:45am

Join us this Palm Sunday as we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem and conclude our Resilient sermon series. As Jesus rode into the city, the crowds waved palm branches and shouted, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Mark 11:9). It was a moment of joy and expectation, yet we know the week ahead would test His endurance in ways no one could have imagined.

Palm Sunday reminds us that true resilience is found in Christ. Though He entered Jerusalem as a King, He would soon take the path of suffering for our salvation.

We will have palms available for everyone to take as we remember this powerful moment in Jesus’ journey to the cross. Come ready to worship, reflect, and prepare your heart for Holy Week as we look to the One who overcame for us.

Hosanna in the highest!
