MBC is thrilled to be a part of the emerging growth of God’s redemption and mission for our church.
We pray that you catch this vision with us to bring His light into this dark area. To that end, we invite you to partner with us and prayerfully consider a special year-end gift. Your contribution will enable us to expand our ministry through both Gospel Demonstration and Gospel Proclamation. In the year 2024, we will accomplish our vision of increased cultural engagement by equipping the MBC body of believers, working with our local and global partners, and continuing campus upgrades.

Vision for 2024-25
Please ask God to guide your giving and consider making your best possible donation as an investment so we may be firmly planted, growing together, and sharing God’s love to everyone. 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 2024-25.
Your Generosity
We are filled with joy for an incredible 2023 at MBC!
As we reflect on the remarkable year that has unfolded, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for your unwavering support. Thanks to your generosity, our sanctuary now boasts a state-of-the-art speaker system that enhances the worship experience for everyone who enters. The launch of the Awana children’s program marks a significant milestone in nurturing the spiritual growth of our youngest members. “Contend,” our first ever apologetics conference, was a resounding success, providing a platform for intellectual exploration and equipping us for cultural engagement. The inception of our first ALPHA course has already begun, and we launched our first wave of Divorcecare, and we are excited about the journey ahead. With your support, our digital outreach has flourished, gaining new YouTube subscribers and introducing shorts and inspiring youth podcasts to a wider audience. Your contributions enabled a group of young adults to attend the transformative Passion Conference, fostering spiritual growth and community. Additionally, we are proud to announce a meaningful partnership with “Young Lives,” supporting teenage mothers as they navigate the challenges of parenthood. Your impact is immeasurable, and we extend our heartfelt appreciation for making these endeavors possible.
Millington Baptist Church has a long history of serving the community and fostering spiritual growth. To continue this mission, we propose two significant improvements to enhance leadership development within our congregation.
Partnership with a Biblical Counseling Center
We suggest establishing a strategic partnership with a respected Biblical counseling center, allowing us to provide essential biblical mental health support to our congregation. In today’s challenging times, mental and emotional well-being is paramount, and as a faith community, we are committed to offering comprehensive support. Collaborating with a counseling center grounded in biblical principles will create a safe and nurturing space for our members to seek guidance, healing, and spiritual support. This initiative will empower our leadership to minister more effectively to the emotional and psychological needs of our congregation, fortifying our spiritual foundation.
Generously Funded Internship Program
To inject fresh momentum, youth, and vibrancy into our church staff, we propose the establishment of a generously funded internship program. This program will serve as a platform for emerging leaders to gain practical experience in various facets of church leadership. By investing in this initiative, we not only nurture the development of the next generation of leaders but also invigorate our congregation with fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. This infusion of youthful enthusiasm will bring renewed vitality to Millington Baptist Church, attracting more young members and expanding our reach.
This proposal will strengthen the spiritual and emotional well-being of our members while infusing our church with dynamic energy. We believe these enhancements will empower us to better serve our community, making our congregation a beacon of hope and support in an increasingly complex world.
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.
Street Hope Alive
Street Hope Alive (SHA) is a new local partner ministry that MBC supports in Paterson, NJ. The organization was founded in 2011 with the goal of offering hope and building relationships that lead to life transformation. Their mission simple: “We are committed to meeting the needs of youth living through a variety of activities and curriculum. Our ultimate goal is to promote personal development, spiritual renewal and community restoration. This year MBC wants to partner with SHA by providing educational funding so that students can receive a quality education based in a Christian worldview.
Josiah Venture
Josiah Venture is a youth-based ministry primarily in Eastern Europe. MBC Supports several partners who are in ROMANIA. This year, we are going above and beyond to suport Bogdan and Diana Anton as they launch their EDGE sports programs in Romania. EDGE Sports is focused on “intentional disciple-making through church based sports.” At these camps, leaders actively share to Gospel of Jesus Christ and then connect people to the local church where they can be discipled. Several goals this year are to raise up more coaches, which is very important for the boys who do not have fathers in their homes. Help us be part of God’s story in Romania this year!

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Rush Mission Trip 2024, Dominican Republic
Each year the Rush (MBC Teen Ministry) goes out on mission for a week in the summer. Over the years they’ve gone to Houston, Denver, New Haven and more. All these trips have provided an incredible experience for the students to serve the Lord in a place that is new to them and that opens their eyes to what the world is like elsewhere. They can see how others struggle and are in need differently than they do at home.
For this upcoming summer we will be even more so expanding our student’s exposure to the world and those in great need of Jesus by traveling to the Dominican Republic. An experience in a third world country is a great opportunity for our students to see a different kind of poverty and need that they cannot find in an area near them. This will result in a greater understanding of the importance of compassion and empathy, and teach them to have gratitude and contentment in their own lives.
While on this trip they will be able to serve the communities in dire need of support in physical and spiritual needs. We will serve with a ministry called Isaiah 58 (Meals on Wheels) and bring physical food to people in need. We will serve kids in the area with a sports ministry or VBS to bring Jesus to the next generation. Other opportunities will arise while we are there to continue to build up the kingdom of Jesus. We are praying these moments serving the Lord together will provide a faith that is immovable and alive in Jesus.
AWANA Support
With the secular culture around us influencing our kids from various outlets – social media, news, entertainment, even in school curricula- we had a dream to bring another child discipleship opportunity to our church and community.
AWANA stands for “Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed” based on 2 Tim 2:15. Awana Clubs is a child discipleship program that is based on the 3 Bs: Belong, Believe, and Become. Children develop spiritual resilience when they feel they belong to Jesus, when they believe in the truth of God’s Word, and then become disciple makers themselves.
Each night at Awana, clubbers have a large group interactive Bible teaching time where the talented teachers lay the foundation of Bible knowledge and truth. During small group time, kids meet with their consistent leaders where they can discuss questions, say memory verses, complete their handbooks, and pray together. Lastly, there is an interactive activity time where kids enjoy games and team building activities. A night at Awana club balances connection, learning the Gospel and having fun to help kids grow relationally and spiritually.
We believe this is a worthwhile ministry to continue at MBC. In order to keep the cost low for parents, we are asking for financial support as we prayerfully plan to continue this in the future.
Mark 16:15
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”
Contend Conference, 2025
In January of 2023 we hosted our first ever CONTEND CONFERENCE—what a success! More than 200 people attended and we had over 75 volunteers! Amazing. We accomplished the goal of being an equipper, not just for our church, but for our region. In January of 2025, we will host our second Contend Conference and it will be headlined by Alisa Childers. We hope to add tracks for kids and teens and also to partner with local churches and our denomination – Venture Church Network. Our prayer is that this conference will be bigger and have more impact than the first! Of course, this comes with a cost and so we pray that you will give to make this a reality.
Digital Outreach.
You may have noticed that more and more people are going digital. Over the last year we have updated, invested in, and expanded our digital ministry footprint. If you’ve missed it, check out our MBC YouTube page—MBCUNHINDERED. In this creative new field, more people are discovering MBC and hearing about the love of Jesus! This year we want to continue investing in this crucial tool—especially for our local community. Targeting our content locally costs money—and we are interested in connecting with people locally. We will also invest in production equipment so we can produce high quality videos with the purpose of equipping the saints and reaching the lost for the Gospel.
Pickleball Expansion.
Across the USA—pickleball has become a phenomenon. Everyone, young and older, seems to be captured by this cultural movement. We don’t want to ignore this natural touchpoint for building relationships with those outside our walls. Last year, we simply painted some courts in our parking lot … and people noticed. Neighbors showed up and people invited friends. It became clear this is a prime way to introduce people to the church. This year, we want to invest in more equipment, facilities, and promotion of pickleball “evangelism.” Who knows what God will do!
1st Timothy 6:17-19
“As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.”
HVAC Upgrades
In envisioning a future of elevated comfort, our commitment extends to other areas of campus. We wish to enhance our indoor sanctuary and offices with state-of-the-art air handlers and HVAC equipment, ensuring a haven for all who grace our space.
Outdoor Fellowship Spaces
Our vision extends further still, weaving nature into our campus tapestry. With unwavering dedication, we’ll transform outdoor spaces with additional seating and outdoor furnishings, fostering an environment conducive to unity and fellowship. We will do so while adding to the already picturesque landscape and beauty that surrounds us and the community that unites us.
YFMB AV enhancements & Other Campus Upgrades
At Millington Baptist Church, we recognize the transformative power of technology in advancing our ministry. Over the past decade, our reliance on technology has deepened, unveiling opportunities to better serve our community. Our Youth and Family Ministry Building, a hub of vibrant activities, currently boasts audio-video systems that have faithfully served for over 10 years. However, with the growing demand and increased facility usage, it has become evident that a substantial upgrade is essential to continue fostering an enriching environment.
The heart of our vision lies in enhancing the audio-video capabilities of the Youth and Family Ministry Great Room. This space, where connections are forged and spiritual growth flourishes, deserves cutting-edge technology to meet our usage demands and outreach efforts. We envision a collaborative environment that harnesses the full potential of modern audio-video solutions.
Podcast Studio Upgrade
Moreover, we aspire to rejuvenate our podcast studio, a dynamic platform that has emerged as a powerful tool for ministering to our community. Recognizing its profound impact on those in remote areas or beyond our geographic reach, we aim to bring this vital ministry to new heights. Upgrading the podcast studio’s equipment will not only enhance the quality of our content but also expand our outreach, reaching individuals who seek spiritual connection outside the physical confines of our church.
Conference Room Furniture
To enhance this vision, let’s join hands in acquiring a new conference room table and ergonomic chairs accommodating up to 16 guests. Your support ensures greater comfort and functionality, transforming our Youth & Family Ministry building into a hub of inspired gatherings.
We humbly seek the support of our congregation. Through prayerful consideration, we ask for your backing in acquiring the necessary resources to make these upgrades a reality. By investing in advanced projectors and A/V components, as well as the latest in conference room furnishings, we aim to create an immersive environment that fosters spiritual growth, community engagement, and global outreach.
Together, let us embark on this journey of technological advancement, propelling Millington Baptist Church into a future where our ministry’s impact knows no bounds. Your support is pivotal in realizing this vision, and we believe that with upgraded technology, we can continue to spread the message of love, faith, and community to all corners of the world.

Your Generosity
We are filled with joy for an incredible 2023 at MBC!
You truly embody the words of the apostle Paul; “For I know your eagerness to help… you were ready to give… For God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Cor 9:2-7). Our church has been able to expand our reach to many new visitors through our large outreach events including the Winter Village (NEW), Hare-Raising Egg Party, Summer Adventure, Trunk or Treat, and we hosted 2 Underground Sessions. Our digital outreach has been expanded through The Underground Sessions Podcast, our YouTube channel MBC Unhindered, and our Twitter presence @MBCNewJersey which often happens in our NEW recording studio with our upgraded Wi-Fi system. Our greatest campus improvements were the Fellowship Hall and the MBC Kids Nursery designed for the enjoyment of our young church family and friends. None of this was possible without your generosity.

Celebrating Christ
for His provision in 2023
You went above and beyond!
MBC started 2022 as a church body cultivating our Christian life in small groups by working through Pastor Dave & Pastor Bob’s Spiritual Formation Workbook. This launched our year of focusing on discipleship and spiritual growth. Our Sermon Series increased our knowledge and application of God’s Word, exploring the book of 1 Corinthians (DeToxicity) series, understanding the Fruit of the Spirit, and examining the life of David. The Radical Mentoring group, the Tactics class, the Faithfully Different Book discussion, and the Women’s If: Fall Break were additional initiatives that drew our people closer to God and each other. Thank you for investing in MBC’s eternal impact and the spiritual growth of our church family.

Year End Giving
for 2023
Please ask God to guide your giving and consider making your best possible donation as an investment so we may Plant Deep Roots in the Limitless Love of God. 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 2023.
Your Generosity
We are filled with joy for an incredible 2021 at MBC!
Currently our financial giving (YTD) is up 20% over the last year! You truly embody the words of the apostle Paul; “For I know your eagerness to help… you were ready to give… For God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Cor 9:2-7). Our church has been able to expand our reach through many new visitors and large outreach events including a 9/11 Memorial Service that welcomed our Mayor and many first responders, a Big Tent Worship Night featuring several talented acoustic guitarist, and we hosted 3 Underground Sessions. We also held 3 informative seminars; “Suffering” with Dr. Jim Owen, “Parenting-Discipling the Next Generation”, and the online adult education course, Tactics. None of this is possible without your generosity.
At MBC, we have the heart to help people grow deeper in their discipleship of Christ. In 2022, we want to support individuals and groups toward this end in two intentional ways. First, we want to create and distribute a high-quality discipleship manual, customized just for MBC. This workbook is going to be a practical manual for intentional Spiritual Formation and will cover time-tested principles of spiritual growth. This workbook is designed for individual use but is best processed together in a group study setting. We will enjoy a church-wide campaign to this end in 2022. Second, we want to increase our staff at MBC to work in a focused way in the areas of spiritual formation, groups, and counseling, and oversee this important area of our church in an expanded capacity. This year’s end-of-year offering will help fund these exciting new spiritual formation initiatives.
Celebrating Christ
You went above and beyond!
Because of your generosity, we shared the love of God through large outreach efforts like MBC Unhindered, our local COVID mission work, and community events such as our Hare-Raising Easter Egg Party and Trunk-or-Treat events. We celebrated record breaking attendance at our Easter worship services and Summer Adventure kids program! To the delight of our seniors, we resumed our monthly luncheons. We also launched our new YouTube channel and continue to expand our online presence through our website, social media, and multiple podcasts. Our Stephen Ministry and Care Leadership teams provided round the clock support, prayer and encouragement to those in crisis.
Local Compassion: Feeding Hands
Earlier this year, Hurricane Ida ravaged parts of Central NJ with heavy rainfall and flooding. This event caused serious damage to the facilities of our local partner, Feeding Hands. This ministry provides food and clothing to hundreds of families in Somerset County. Through your generosity, MBC plans to purchase two commercial-grade refrigerators which would replace the ones Feeding Hands lost during the storm.
Global Outreach
MBC also has a huge heart for Global Outreach and Jesus’ Great Commission: to see the Gospel go to the ends of the earth. In 2022, MBC will be partnering with Amoon Sharon’s Alpha Ministries International, which has a strategic focus in Pakistan. Amoon and his team have a vision to start a church school for children in 50 villages! This year, MBC plans to help Amoon accomplish this goal by funding 7 new church schools in Pakistan, reaching the next generation with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Young Adult Passion Conference.
Our young adults are not the future leaders of the church, they are already the leaders of the church. They need to be empowered to go out with courage and lead with boldness as our church desperately needs to reach our next generation. Our culture actively draws them away from the Gospel so we need to equip our budding leaders to disciple and win people for Christ. With this mission in mind, MBC seeks to play an active role in their spiritual development and provide a way for them to attend the Passion Conference (young adult conference). Let’s support the our young leader’s growth by sending 10 of them to this conference in Atlanta.
Little Footprints Learning Center.
LFLC exists to nurture a love for learning, prepare children for success, and build relationships with families in our community by sharing God’s truth and love. Through your generosity, our scholarships allow families in need to provide their children with the power of a Christ-centered education.
Mark 16:15
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”
As we look ahead to 2022, we must recognize that 2020 altered the way we do ministry. In a post-Covid world, digital ministry will remain a crucial component of spiritual formation AND outreach. Barna President, David Kinnaman authored this nomenclature: “Screens disciple.” In other words, we can ignore the digital revolution reality, or we can engage it with wisdom.
Part of our vision for 2022 is to expand our digital ministry footprint. The strategy will include launching an MBC YouTube channel. This platform is currently the largest search engine for Generation Z (those under 25)—if we want to reach the next generation, we need to create content that reaches into their world. While YouTube is a prime platform, creating engaging videos and online events requires updated equipment, staffing, and studio space. We plan to expand our online content offerings that both trains the insider and draws the outsider.
At the end of the book of Acts, the apostle Paul was in Rome preaching the Gospel and encouraging the believers. As the book ends, we read that he was “proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance (28:31).” The Gospel was unhindered. And Paul went to the people. Where are the people today? Online. If screens can be used to disciple people, as Kinnaman asserts, then we need to get in the game and preach the life-transforming message of the Gospel in a 2022 digital world.
1st Timothy 6:17-19
“As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.”
Fellowship Hall Face-lift & Other Campus Upgrades
MBC will continue to work on key facilities upgrades and additions through your generous contributions. First is a new vision for the Fellowship Hall, second is to upgrade our WiFi infrastructure, and lastly to upgrade our Nursery.
MBC’s desire is to address the evolving needs of our community, and revolutionize the way we utilize Fellowship Hall, from an area used for breakfast treats and coffee, to a space that can be transformed into endless ministry possibilities.
We envision additional office spaces and a multi-purpose room that can be quickly reconfigured into a variety of gatherings such as for prayer and Bible studies, classes, workshops, worship nights, team building events, meals, and plays to meet the varying needs of our ministries.
Wifi Upgrades
We also desire to make it easier for folks to engage us digitally as we develop a comprehensive network to support our increased use of technologies both now and in the future.

Vision for 2023
Please ask God to guide your giving and consider making your best possible donation as an investment so we may be firmly planted, growing together, and sharing God’s love to everyone. 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 2023.
Your Generosity
We are filled with joy for an incredible 2022 at MBC!
You truly embody the words of the apostle Paul; “For I know your eagerness to help… you were ready to give… For God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Cor 9:2-7). Our church has been able to expand our reach to many new visitors through our large outreach events including the Winter Village (NEW), Hare-Raising Egg Party, Summer Adventure, Trunk or Treat, and we hosted 2 Underground Sessions. Our digital outreach has been expanded through The Underground Sessions Podcast, our YouTube channel MBC Unhindered, and our Twitter presence @MBCNewJersey which often happens in our NEW recording studio with our upgraded Wi-Fi system. Our greatest campus improvements were the Fellowship Hall and the MBC Kids Nursery designed for the enjoyment of our young church family and friends. None of this was possible without your generosity.
At MBC, we have the heart to help people grow deeper in their relationship with Christ. In 2023, we want to invest in leadership development.
Paid Internships – Summer 2023+
MBC seeks to establish an internship program by attracting and incentivizing high-quality ministry-minded students to serve at MBC during the summer and at other times. This program will include a stipend through the duration of the internship and possibly other living expenses such as housing. Interns will be assigned a mentor and given responsibilities of oversight according to their area of interest. We believe this will multiply the ministry of MBC by raising up godly leaders and sending them out to their destination.
Celebrating Christ
for Spiritual Growth
Cultivating the Christian Life!
MBC started 2022 as a church body cultivating our Christian life in small groups by working through Pastor Dave & Pastor Bob’s Spiritual Formation Workbook. This launched our year of focusing on discipleship and spiritual growth. Our Sermon Series increased our knowledge and application of God’s Word, exploring the book of 1 Corinthians (DeToxicity) series, understanding the Fruit of the Spirit, and examining the life of David. The Radical Mentoring group, the Tactics class, the Faithfully Different Book discussion, and the Women’s If: Fall Break were additional initiatives that drew our people closer to God and each other. Thank you for investing in MBC’s eternal impact and the spiritual growth of our church family.
Global Outreach
MBC also has a huge heart for Global Outreach and Jesus’ Great Commission: to see the Gospel go to the ends of the earth.
Our passion is making Jesus known among the nations, and we are seeing communities transformed as groups of people put their faith in Christ alone.
Cambodia Student University Dorm Ministry: We will come along side our ministry partner, Tom Voster and his family, with World Team’s University Dorm Ministry. Our goal is to finance two dormitory “leaders”, male and female, for one year. Check out the video for more information on this mission field.
1. They would assist in the management of the dorm building.
2. Maintaining an overall healthy and spiritual environment.
3. Ministering to and counseling each student in their personal lives.
4. Offering academic advise and encouragement.
5. Assisting in bible study and other related activities.
This effort would fit well with the Young Lives and Ukraine initiatives (below) as they would provide a united effort to minister to young people, especially in an academic setting or influence.
Ukrainian Refugee Relief: The Missions Team initiative is to help out with refugees from Ukraine. Their efforts are mainly focused on refugees in Poland including delivery of food and supplies to the war zone.
Local Compassion:
LyfePact: Delivering Hope and Friendship to teen moms and at-risk youth. www.lyfepact.org
LYFEPACT goes beyond delivering basic household essentials and vital technology options. Every LYFEPACT that we hand-deliver, is more than a box. It comes packed with a promise.
Powered by Young Life, we make a pact to connect each teen mom and at-risk youth with a volunteer mentor who will be serving as the backbone of our delivery and community-based follow-up process.
THE NEEDS OF OUR TEENS
Together, we can impact multiple generations and build a bridge of restoration. Your investment will be a legacy written on the hearts of hundreds of thousands of lives to come!f
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
MBC Kids Awana Conference for our kid’s leaders.
In our MBC Kids ministry, we want to see kids who are:
As we disciple the next generation for Christ, it’s crucial to support and equip our current committed leaders who are discipling kids on a regular basis. The Child Discipleship Forum, presented by Awana, is a conference grounded in the Gospel and focused on equipping leaders for everyday ministry to kids. We are planning to invest in our MBC Kids leaders by sending a group to this conference in Nashville, for a time of nourishment and growth.

Mark 16:15
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”
MBC has a Passion for The Mission both globally AND locally. MBC has a heart for its local community—our neighbors. How do we engage them with the message of grace found in the Gospel? In 2023, we are planning several strategic initiatives that will create space for Gospel conversations, as well as orient believers toward a biblical worldview. In many ways, we are in a battle for ideas and narratives that capture minds and hearts. What can we do?
ALPHA: The “Alpha” Series is a small group-focused initiative, which creates space for believers to invite skeptics to discuss life’s big questions and Christianity’s answers. You can read more about the ministry HERE. We’ll gather on Sunday evenings, eat lots of food and, by God’s grace, see many lives transformed for the glory of God! The group will launch in February 2023.
CONTEND CONFERENCE: On January 27-29th, 2023 we are holding an apologetics conference called, “CONTEND.” Check out the details HERE. This is an extension of the Underground Sessions ministry. Our goal is to become a regional equipper in the areas of worldview, cultural engagement, and evangelism. Our prayer is to have 200+ people attend this conference from all over Northern and Central NJ.
TRAINING INSTITUTE: We believe the church should equip the saints for the world of ministry. As a result, we are developing an 8-week training program on the topic of Biblical Worldview. This opportunity will be available for our young adult interns, as well as anyone else who wants to grow in their knowledge of the Bible and how it applies to everyday life. We are looking to launch this in the summer/fall of 2023.
1st Timothy 6:17-19
“As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.”
Because of the generosity of our church family and friends, MBC is continuing the work of beautifying our campus for future generations of seekers. The gifts that are offered in support of MBC’s physical infrastructure needs are quite literally setting the stage for campus improvement projects over the next five years. Many of these improvements have already been completed. Some are nearing completion, while others are now possible with your support.
Additional spaces for connection:
Outdoor Seating Area and Gathering Space
We’re immediately drawn to certain outdoor seating areas. There’s just something about a well-designed gathering spot, particularly outdoors, that can be so comforting and conducive to fostering connectedness. It can be as simple as a table and chairs under a shady veranda, a lounge overlooking a view with chairs drawn up around a fire pit, or just an open yard. A space like this, designed for the enjoyment of our church family and friends is now being considered. Be inspired as we continue to make our dreams a reality for those who currently call MBC their home, and for all those yet to come. Below are our goals for 2023.
Worship Enhancement:
Significant Audio Visual Upgrades
One of the greatest privileges we have as a congregation is to praise God together in song. Because music is such a powerful vehicle for glorifying God and encouraging one another, our desire is to approach worship through song with deliberate thought and care. Our current sound system is over 20 years old and technology has advanced rapidly during this time. We are excited to be offering a brand new state-of-the-art speaker system that will meet the needs of MBC for years to come and fill the sanctuary with God’s praise.
Please ask God to guide your giving and consider making your best possible donation as an investment with us as we Plant Deep Roots in the Limitless Love of God.
