Welcome to the Pastor’s Table

Welcome to The Pastor’s Table, our MBC church blog. As the pastors and leaders of MBC, our vision is to “Expand the Table … for the Glory of God.” We are passionate about loving Jesus, loving people, and extending an invitation to everyone God’s table.

Whether you are a Christian or just someone seeking truth and answers about God, we welcome you here to take a seat at our table. We hope our blog will inspire, encourage you and challenge you while you sit with us at the table.
