Men’s Breakfast Relaunch: 
Saturday, June 3rd from 8:00 am – 9:30 am, Fellowship Hall 

Fathers and sons!

We’re excited to be relaunching our Men’s Ministry Breakfast time on June 3rd. Come hear from our panel of Mentors from our Radical Mentoring Ministry.

Radical Mentoring is a special type of men’s small group made up of high-potential young men facilitated by more senior and mature men. The vision is to help younger men live God-centered lives and fulfill their God-given potential.

The mentors will endeavor to share what they have learned about success and failure. Most importantly, they will share what it means to have a vibrant, living relationship with Jesus along the way.

Join us for breakfast and a meaningful time of sharing. For more information contact Craig McLaughlin or Pete Lima or call the church office at 908-647-0594.

City Relief Packing Party 2025

by

We’re excited to kick off our 2025 Christmas outreach with the return of our City Relief Packing Party!

This annual event brings our church family together to pack hygiene kits that will be distributed by our strategic partner, City Relief—a faith-driven nonprofit providing compassionate, street-level care to people experiencing homelessness through meals, resources, and meaningful relationships.

This year, MBC is providing 1,000 kits, but we’re hoping to go even further. If you feel led, you can help expand our impact by sponsoring additional kits or giving a general donation. Every donation received before December 1st will go directly toward purchasing more supplies.

Save the date: December 20th from 9:00–11:00 AM.

We’ll enjoy a continental breakfast, coffee from Barrister Coffee House, hot cocoa, and plenty of Christmas cheer as we pack kits together. Wear your favorite Christmas sweater and come ready to serve!

We’ll also share a brief presentation on additional ways you can partner with City Relief throughout the year.

Register or donate below—we can’t wait to serve alongside you!

We envision that your generous contributions for the five initiatives we outline below will deepen our congregation’s love for God, widen our love for each other, and live tall so we may be a beacon of hope to the community here where we are planted. 

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.

Blue Christmas Service

by

For many, the Christmas season is a time of joy and celebration—but for others, it can also be a time of grief, loneliness, or difficult memories. Our Blue Christmas Service is a quiet, reflective gathering designed to offer comfort and hope to those who are hurting during the holidays. Through Scripture, prayer, and music, we’ll remember God’s promise to be near to the brokenhearted and to bring light into our darkness.
