Upside Down Glory

Upside Down Glory

Sermon series on Disability & The Kingdom of God

In Upside Down Glory, we’ll explore how God’s power is revealed not through perfection, but through weakness. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 1:26–31 and the stories of people like Jacob, Moses, Mephibosheth, and the man born blind, this series challenges how we see disability — and how we see ourselves.

Disability is not an exception to God’s image but an expression of it. Throughout Scripture, God reveals His heart through those the world overlooks, calling the church to do the same. Over eight weeks, we’ll redefine “ability,” confront suffering with hope, and discover how to build a truly welcoming, inclusive, and compassionate church family.

This series also marks the launch of MBC’s Disability Ministry Initiative — an effort to become a church known for its cross-discipline integration of family, care, hospitality, and outreach for people impacted by disability.

Corey Miller – Parenting Seminar

by

Sunday, February 22nd, 12:30pm – 2pm

Come and join us for our Parenting Seminary featuring the CEO of Ratio Christi Corey Miller

The Battle for Your Child’s Mind

This will be a follow up Q&A and presentation based on his Sunday morning messages and book The Progressive Miseducation of America this will be very relevant for parents looking to navigate the landscape of parenting their kids education in today’s world.

 

Christianity is increasingly viewed as hateful and harmful. Is Christianity good or bad for the world? After 2,000 years, we have ample evidence to render a verdict. Jesus, the revolutionary, launched the largest movement in human history and changed the world. While the existential question asks whether God exists, the axiological question asks what value-impact God’s existence has on the world. In this exploration, we identify and assess evidence of widely embraced goods and values from rationality and the rise of universities and science to morality and the rise of compassion and charity that are deemed good for the world and then argue that Christianity enjoys explanatory scope and power for their existence and proliferation.

Corey Miller – Sunday Service

by

Sunday, February 22nd, 9am and 10:45am

Come and join us for our two services at 9am and 10:45am on Sunday, February 22nd as we hear from guest speaker and CEO of Ratio Christi Corey Miller.

9am “Is Jesus Unique to Basic Morality: The Golden Rule as Evidence for Christianity”

A fresh look at the Golden Rule found in Matthew 7:12 considered in the context of science and other religions reveals an apologetic value that has gone virtually undetected by apologists and pastors… until recently. The Golden Rule, typically understood within an ethical context, is examined for its apologetic value as a pointer to the veracity of Christianity.

10:45am “The Third Revolution and the Scandal of the Evangelical Mind”

What explains our current cultural revolution in America leading to the feeling that this is no longer Grandma’s America? We’ll explore what happened, how it happened, and how to respond.

Walk Thru The Bible

by
Teaching the big picture of the Old Testament

Many believers are confused about the Old Testament–what it says, what it means, how to apply it to daily life. Some may wonder if it is even relevant today. Others are overwhelmed by it and don’t know how to read it. Would-be Bible readers often quit before they make it all the way through the Old Testament.

What if there was an event that could actually inspire people to read the Bible? What if there was an event that made the Old Testament come alive in a fun, clear, and very memorable way?

Join MBC on Saturday, January 31 from 9am to 12pm for this fun, interactive event that will teach the big picture of the Old Testament. Attendees will learn the major events and people of the Old Testament and understand its storyline, maybe for the first time.
 
  • WHAT? A high-energy, interactive seminar that walks through Genesis to Malachi in a few hours.
  • WHEN? Saturday, January 31 from 9am to 12noon in the church sanctuary
  • WHO? This family-friendly event is designed for adults and children (kindergarten and up). 
  • COST? $25 Per workbook, but please register all attendees. 
    • Childcare is available for up to Pre-K for $10 per family
  • QUESTIONS? For details, please contact Amy Huber, Director of Discipleship and Connections at ahuber@millingtonbaptist.org
 

Meet Our Instructor: Mark Schaaf

We’re excited to welcome one of our own, Mark Schaaf, as the instructor for Walk Thru the Bible’s otLIVE experience. Many of you know Mark and his wife Kathy—we’ve been supporting the Schaafs since the mid-1990s, when they first headed overseas with WorldVenture.

Mark and Kathy spent 13 years in Jordan, where Mark helped introduce and lead Walk Thru the Bible’s Arabic-language ministry across the Middle East and North Africa. After handing that work off to national leaders, they moved to South Africa, where Mark served as Walk Thru the Bible’s Southern Africa Regional Trainer and also helped plant a church in an informal settlement outside Johannesburg.

Mark holds a PhD in Biblical Archaeology from the University of South Africa, but what really excites him is helping people step into God’s grand story—whether that means turning a church sanctuary into a walk-through map of the Holy Land or leading study tours in the Bible lands themselves. He continues to travel extensively in Israel and Jordan, and five of the Schaafs’ six grandchildren now live in Israel.

Currently based in Atlanta, Georgia, we’re grateful to continue partnering with the Schaafs in their global mission of equipping, training, and coaching national leaders. We’re thrilled to have Mark with us for this otLIVE event!

Meaning in the Madness Book

Finding Meaning in the midst of Madness
A Book on the Old Testament Scripture “Ecclesiastes”

by David Hentschel & Bob Erbig

Chaos. That is a word that seems to capture the zeitgeist of our age. Instability, wars, pandemics, and institutional breakdown have led people to wonder: is anyone in control? Do meaning and purpose exist?  Indeed, with endless choices and uncertain times people today are less secure and more jaded than ever before. Doubts about everything are the new normal. We are living through an era that feels a bit … mad.

So… how do we live by faith in a world of madness? That is what the book of Ecclesiastes is about. It assumes doubts and offers answers not addressed anywhere else. It explores issues that haunt us at the end of life. In short, this ancient book offers meaning in the madness by directing us to the purpose giver: God himself.

Don’t miss this life changing and fruitful study.

Please take a look below to see what MBC has in store for 2026.

Because of

   Your Generosity

We are filled with joy for an incredible 2025 at MBC!

As we reflect on the remarkable year that has unfolded, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for your unwavering support.  Over the past year we saw God work in many ways throughout our church. We hosted our second ever “Contend Conference” with some powerful guest speakers. We continued our AWANA ministry and discipling the kids in our community. Our MBC Teens took a mission trip to North Carolina and served those in hardship. We also had numerous sermon series on books such as Isaiah, 2 Corinthians, 1 Timothy, Revival, and a whole summer in the scriptures. We also had several adult education classes and small groups that will have lasting impact on the spiritual lives of those in our church.Your impact is immeasurable, and we extend our heartfelt appreciation for making these endeavors possible.

Firmly Planted

Strategy One: Strengthen the MBC Discipleship System

We are building a strong and Christ-seeking culture of spiritual growth at MBC. Through leadership development, ongoing evaluation, and clear pathways for every stage of faith, we aim to help our entire church take meaningful next steps with Jesus. This includes expanding mentoring, launching accessible tools for growth, and equipping every ministry leader to invest in others—creating a multiplying movement of disciple-makers.

Strategy Two: Explore Educational Expansion Opportunities at MBC

We want MBC to be a place where deep, biblical formation thrives. Over the next few years, we will explore new educational pathways—from a potential theological teaching program to strategic partnerships that enrich learning for students and young adults. We also plan to make high-quality discipleship resources more accessible that equips our church for everyday discipleship.

Celebrating Christ
for Spiritual Growth

Cultivating the Christian Life!

In the realm of spiritual formation, this year has been nothing short of transformative. Our journey on Sunday mornings has taken us through Ecclesiastes, Philippians, Ephesians 6 (Spiritual Warfare), the Psalms, and Ezra Nehemiah and has offered profound insights, fostering a deeper understanding of Scripture and its relevance to our lives. The launch of numerous new small groups has created intimate spaces for fellowship, prayer, and shared spiritual growth, connecting members in meaningful ways. Our adult education program has flourished, providing intellectual and spiritual nourishment with the introduction of a new course on church history and an enlightening seminar on the book of Joshua. These initiatives have not only broadened our knowledge but have also ignited a collective passion for continuous learning and spiritual exploration.

Growing Together 

Strategy One: Implement a Comprehensive Assimilation Strategy

We want every person who walks through MBC’s doors to feel seen, welcomed, and invited into community. Through consistent follow-up, intentional hospitality, and clear next-step environments, we are creating a culture where newcomers can move from first-time visitors to fully connected members of the family. Our goal is simple: to make belonging easy and connection natural at every step.

Strategy Two: Expand Counseling and Care Ministries

We desire to be a church where hurting people find compassion, support, and gospel-centered care. Over the next several years, we will expand our support groups, strengthen visitation and care ministries, and raise up more trained caregivers to walk with people through difficult seasons. We aim to create a robust network of support that meets emotional, spiritual, and practical needs across our congregation.

Strategy Three: Expand On-Campus Connection Spaces

We want our campus to foster natural, meaningful relationships. To support this, we will create new indoor and outdoor gathering spaces designed for conversation, hospitality, and community life. Our aim is to make MBC a place where connection happens easily—before and after services, throughout the week, and across all generations.

Strategy Four: Enhance Digital Engagement

We are committed to building bridges between our physical and digital communities. We want online engagement to lead to real relational connection. By leveraging thoughtful digital tools and best practices, we will strengthen community for every person—whether they join us in the room or from home.

Matthew 19:14

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Made to Multiply

Strategy One: Develop a Robust Disability Ministry Program

We envision MBC as a place where individuals and families affected by disability are fully welcomed and supported. To move toward that vision, we will form a cross-ministry leadership team, partner with Joni and Friends, and improve accessibility across our campus. Over the next few years, we will launch new support and connection environments while also equipping our church through practical training on disability ethics and care. Our long-term hope is to become a resource that helps other churches grow in disability ministry as well.

Strategy Two: Cultivate a Mindset Shift Toward Evangelism and Outreach

We want MBC to grow as an outward-focused church, sharing the hope of Jesus through personal relationships and meaningful service. To foster this, we will empower a Local Outreach Team, offer ongoing evangelism and worldview training, and build strategic partnerships that meet real needs in our community. Through events, courses, service opportunities, and creative on-ramps for non-Christians, we aim to help our congregation engage confidently and compassionately in everyday mission.

Strategy Three: Invest in Young Leaders, Under-Resourced Churches, and Global Missions

We are committed to raising up the next generation of leaders and strengthening the wider body of Christ. This includes developing a vocational discipleship mentoring program for students and young adults, supporting churches within our network through training and revitalization efforts, and expanding our global impact through partnership with WorldVenture. Together, these efforts help us invest intentionally—locally and globally—where God is already at work.
