Thank you for your interest in supporting the ministries of MBC.

Your Financial support and generosity allow us to create the quality environments that you and your family enjoy on a weekly basis.

You can make one-time or recurring donations to MBC via our online portal, using your credit or debit card, or direct withdrawal from your checking account.

Other ways you can contribute to the ministry of MBC.

Online Bill Pay

Stock/Mutual fund

Legacy Giving

Most banks give you the ability to set up automatic monthly payments online. You can set this option up in the Online Bill Pay section of your online bank account.

Giving appreciated stock you’ve held for more than a year is better than giving cash. If you donate stock that has increased in value since you bought it more than a year ago, you can take a charitable deduction for the stock’s fair market value on the day you give it away without having to ever pay taxes on the increase in value of the stock. You should check with a tax professional before initiating any transfer of securities.

With the help of an advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to Millington Baptist Church as part of your estate plan. This allows you to leave a lasting legacy while also benefiting from an estate tax charitable deduction and lower tax burden.

For more information please contact Kristie Gall.

Amazon has a program called AmazonSmile whereby they will donate one-half percent of your purchases to the eligible charity of your choice. MBC is registered as an eligible charity and you may designate Millington Baptist Church to receive the .5% donation by clicking on AmazonSmile. In order for MBC to receive credit you must use smile.amazon.com rather than www.amazon.com to make purchases. Please note that you will not receive a tax receipt for donations made via this program, as all donations are made by the AmazonSmile Foundation.

Baptisms

Baptism

Come and worship with our brothers and sisters as they make this profound commitment to the Lord. Witness new life as revealed by the cleansing power of Christ.

If you have not been baptized since becoming a follower of Jesus and would like to learn more about it, you may pick up a Baptism Packet at the Welcome Center, or contact Pastor Dave for more information.

Celebrating New Life | Baptism is a public profession of faith in Christ. We subscribe to baptism by immersion during our worship service as it vividly depicts the reality of new life in Christ.

Why? We are called to be baptized as an outward symbol of the internal reality already taken place in our new life in Christ. Baptism uniquely symbolizes the believer’s union with Christ in his death, burial, and resurrection (Rom. 6:3-5).

How does baptism relate to salvation? Baptism is not a means to salvation; this comes through faith in Jesus and the gift of God’s extravagant grace (Eph. 2:8-9; Gal. 2:16). However, baptism plays a vital role in our first act of commitment and profession of our faith in Christ.

Who should be baptized? We practice believer’s baptism (Acts 2:38, 8:12). For the purposes of MBC Membership, If you were baptized as an infant, we would ask that you be baptized as a mindful believer.

When should my children be baptized?
While we want to celebrate our children when they desire to take important steps of faith, we believe it is wise to wait to baptize a child until he or she has reached a certain level of maturity. Therefore, generally we offer the guidance of encouraging our children to wait until at least twelve years old to make this important decision. While we are willing to discuss exceptions to this general rule, we do believe this position esteems baptism as a one-time act to be anticipated as a public, credible, mature profession of faith. Any questions please speak to one of our pastors. And for more information here is a related article. You can also read our church guidance for Children and Ordinances by downloading it here.

A candidate for baptism should be able to:

Communicate the gospel as well as an expression of faith in Jesus Christ.
Show evidence of godly sorrow over sin and repentance which leads to the fruit of the Spirit. (Gal 5:22-23)
Demonstrate a willingness to turn away from worldly things and live a life abiding and celebrating God’s commands, His testimony about his Son Jesus and loving others as God loves us. (1 John 2:15-17; 5:1-12, Matt. 22:37-39).

How do I give my baptism testimony? On the day of your baptism you are asked to give a testimony to affirm your faith in Jesus. Then you will be lowered into then back out of the water by the pastor. Video testimonies are preferred.

Please make an appointment to have us video your testimony in advance.
To prepare, please write out your answers to these questions and rehearse them for your video testimony.
For your convenience please utilize the following testimony worksheet as a guide to help build your testimony for the service.

Our baptism services are intended to publicly celebrate personal Renewal & Growth in Jesus Christ and spur on Connection & Action within community.

Stephen Ministry

Our next training will take place:
TBD

Build a Team of Lay Caregivers to Transform Lives in Your Congregation

Imagine how much ministry could happen if your congregation had a team of well-trained lay caregivers equipped to provide one-on-one Christian care to people who need it.

Ever thought about becoming a Stephen Minister? Stephen Ministers work alongside pastors to care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support for people going through difficult times such as divorce, grief, hospitalization, unemployment, terminal illness, relocation, chronic illness, or loneliness. If you have gifts for caring, encouragement, and listening, please prayerfully consider being a part of this exciting ministry. Our next training will take place in January of 2024.

Questions about cost, time commitment, or something else? Interested in taking the next step and attending our next workshop?

If you regularly attend MBC register here.

What is Stephen Ministry?

Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way will fulfill the law of Christ (Gal 6:2, NRSV).

In Stephen Ministry congregations, lay caregivers (called Stephen Ministers) provide one-to-one Christian care to those in need of care. These may include people who are bereaved, hospitalized, terminally ill, separated, divorced, unemployed, relocated, facing a crisis, or just experiencing difficult times. Stephen Ministry helps pastors and congregations provide quality caring ministry for as long as people need it. For more information on Stephen Ministry.

Source: Stephen Ministries

Who can be a care receiver?

Care Receivers are people going through tough times who are being cared for by Stephen Ministers. Care receivers are people—congregation members and others in the community—who receive care from a Stephen Minister. These are people struggling through a difficult time in life—experiencing grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, or some other life crisis. Some important guidelines for this caring relationship protect both the care receiver and the Stephen Minister: The relationship between a care receiver and a Stephen Minister is confidential. Men are matched with men; women with women. When a care receiver’s needs exceed what a Stephen Minister can provide, the Stephen Ministry team makes a referral to an appropriate mental health professional or other community resource.

Tuesdays 8pm- 9pm – Zoom/Online Resumes January 23rd:

Partner with us during this season of motherhood on Zoom. Tuesday, 8pm – 9pm.
Reach out to Krisana Ukritnukun via email for the Zoom link.

Topic: MBC “Risen Motherhood” Podcast Group is an online community that gathers weekly to reflect on the gospel-hope for moms with young children. Each podcast is about 20 minutes long and brings gospel truths to everyday topics of motherhood. .

“You might think that Scripture doesn’t have much to say about the food you make for breakfast, how you view your postpartum body, or what school choice you make for your children, but a deeper look reveals that the Bible provides the framework for finding answers to your specific questions about modern motherhood.” – Risen Motherhood

Leaders: Krisana Ukritnukun and Rachel Rickershauser8

Sundays 9am – 10:30am YFMB Room 201 Resumes January 7th:

Topic: Continuing verse by verse study/discussion on the Gospel of John.

Tuesdays 7pm-8:30pm – YFMB Room 201 & Zoom Begins February 20th:

Topic: “Job – A Story of Unlikely Joy” by Lisa Harper.

Joy is the constant companion of the woman who trusts in the Lord. And while you can find it in friends, family, and circumstances, unfailing, persistent joy will only ever overflow from your relationship with Jesus. Just ask Job, the man from Uz who clung to God’s goodness while all his worldly joys were stripped away. But how is it possible to hold onto such joy in times of sorrow? In this 7-session study, discover the redemptive facet of Job’s suffering. Learn to view pain as a way to strengthen your faith, point others to the gospel, and trust in the Lord. Because His providence will never take you to a place where His grace will not sustain you.

Leaders: Irm Smith and Gail Loehr
