Take MBC with you
by Marc DAgusto
We are very excited to roll out our new MBC app!
The Church isn’t a building – it’s people! We want to make sure that everyone can experience the MBC community and stay connected whenever they want.
Our app will expand the way we connect with both new individuals checking us out and those who call MBC their home. Its primary features keep you connected with information and personalized notifications to our various ministries, Sunday morning Live Stream, sermon archives, our podcast, giving access, and up-to-date information on our community activities and events. As a bonus, we also added the Bible for your convenience during the sermons or whenever you desire to connect with the Word of God.
There are three ways to get our app:
1. From your cell phone, text: “mbcnj app” to (833) 683-6726 and a link for direct download will be immediately sent;
2. Or search for Millington Baptist Church on or
.
3. On your computer, you can go here to get the app sent to your phone.
Once you download it, please go to your app store and leave a great review to help others find it easier.
If you have attended our church for any period of time, then you know our mission is to expand the table for the glory of God and to be fully devoted to Christ, our church body and the community around us. This app is merely a small expression of our desire to make those connections and grow the body of Christ.
Stay tuned as new features will be added over time.

Legacy Giving

Giving appreciated stock you’ve held for more than a year is better than giving cash.

You should check with a tax professional before initiating any transfer of securities.

The intent of TEN is to support parents as they transition into a new season of life. Together we can explore God’s calling upon our hearts/lives in this new station of life, and to what and where He may be calling us next.
TEN will seek to engage is participants by:
- Being intentional about deepening our walk with the Lord through focused studies
- Building meaningful below the surface relationships by spending time together
- Serving our church / community
If you have any questions we’d welcome the opportunity to speak with you:

Meeting Times: Saturday Mornings 7:00am to 8:30am
Description: Power Hour meets Saturday mornings from 7:00-8:30. It is a group of men seeking to know God better by concentrating on how He speaks to us through Scripture. After an opening prayer, we look at a portion of scripture directly, or use a topical book based on scripture, seeking not only knowledge, but wisdom: wisdom being the application of knowledge learned. But it is more, for it is a place where a man can share personal concerns, seeking help and guidance, knowing that everything discussed will be kept in strictest confidence by the group. We end with a time for prayer, as the Spirit moves us each to do so.
Contact Jim Luedecker (debjimluedecker@gmail.com) with any questions.
Leaders: Led by Ken and Andrea Herold
Time: Sundays at 10:45 starting Feb 8 for 5 weeks (Feb 8-March 8)
Audience: Parents with kids ages 1-10
Topic: The Birds and the Bees – talking to your kids about sex. This group is for parents who want to have open, honest conversations with their kids about sex and growing up without fear or (too much) awkwardness. We’ll watch the video series together and talk about how to approach these topics thoughtfully and biblically, with clear guidance and simple language you can actually use. Our goal is to help parents strengthen the trust with their kids and to equip them to confidently lead the conversation on this topic at home.
Have you noticed distance between your Adult Child and you in recent years? Has your Adult Child gone “No Contact” or cut you off completely? Do you have less communication with your adult child or does it feel like you are “walking on eggshells” when you speak with them? Did you know Social Media/Culture plays a large role in this?
Estrangement has reached epidemic proportions in recent years. If you Google it, you will find that 27% of adult children are estranged from both or one of their parents – that is one in four households. Some research suggests 40% experience one family estrangement.
This new group aims to provide support for parents who are hurting in these situations through group support, discussion, prayer and spiritual discernment.
This group will meet Tuesday nights at 6:30pm at MBC starting 2/17.

Baptisms
by Marc DAgusto
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
by Marc DAgusto
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?

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.

“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

The Morning Edition
Romans 1-7; The Gift of God by Timothy Keller
Tuesday Mornings, 9:30am, YFMB
|
We want to be right in the eyes of the law of our land, of those we respect, of our loved ones, of those we work with. We strive to gain and then keep this right standing. But there is another, far better and more important righteousness. A righteousness which changes and liberates every aspect of our lives, and yet which none of us can earn or maintain ourselves. It s a righteousness from God. Romans 1-7 is all about that righteousness. It shows us why we don’t have it, why we need it, and how we can receive it. It thrills us that the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6 v 23). These seven studies will help you to understand one of the most-read, most written-about parts of the Bible. And, as they enable you to you unwrap God s precious gift of right standing with him, they ll transform your hearts, lives, identities and perspectives. Contact Women’s Ministry with any questions. |

Below are the group studies we are currently offering.
Tuesdays 7pm-8:30pm – YFMB Room 201 & Zoom Begins February 20th:

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
