How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” (Romans 10:15). Join us October 2–4 for our 2026 Missions Conference, a weekend celebrating our church’s long partnership with WorldVenture and the bold faith it takes to answer God’s call to the nations. Through inspiring messages, missionary spotlights, and honest conversations, we’ll hear firsthand stories of what led our missionaries to step out in faith and get a firsthand look at how missions is unfolding around the world—from Senegal to Ukraine and beyond. Whether you’ve served on the field or are just beginning to wonder what your part might be, this conference is an invitation to see God’s global mission up close and ask: where might He be calling me to go? Join us for worship, fellowship, meals together, and a weekend that just might stir up some bold faith of your own.

Update 3/16/2023
The Annual Business Meeting was a great time for the church to recap the past fiscal year and to look forward to 2023-2024. Pastor Bob & Pastor Dave spoke about our plans to continue to be firmly planted, growing together, and investing in the lives of others. Larry Blakeman shared about the budget and new World Partners. We had a good time celebrating what God has done and expectant of the future of our church.
We did have quorum and voted unanimously to pass the proposed budget for 2023-2024.
Also, a motion carried unanimously for additional funding that was requested for 2022-2023.
Hock Ng presented from the Elder Nominating Committee five new candidates:
- Jeff Callender (2nd term – 3 years)

- Andrew Strain (1st term – 3 years)
- Jan Torgrimsen (2nd term – 3 years)

All gentlemen were approved.
Doug Hulin, Elder Vice-Chair, thanked our outgoing elders, Paul Achenbach and Hock Ng, for their investment, dedication, and leadership in so many areas.
Pray for your involvement in MBC’s Vision based on Psalm 1:1-3.
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
We are offering childcare during the meeting as needed. Must register by March 12th please.
