A Journey though Romans, Sermon Series
The book of Romans has been called “the greatest letter ever written.” Theologian N.T. Wright said: “Romans is by common consent Paul’s masterpiece. It dwarfs most of his other writings, an Alpine Peak towering over hills and villages.” Over the next few months we will begin to unpack this amazing treatise and we will discover or rediscover God’s amazing doctrines of grace. We will learn about justification, sanctification and glorification, all doctrine which leads to duty or practical application in our lives. The first part of this series will discuss questions such as “Why do we need God’s righteousness?” (1:18 – 3:20). “What is God’s righteousness?” (3:21 – 5:21), and “How does this affect me?” (ch 6-8). The book of Romans was written to “establish” us (16:15) in the Gospel, which is the power of God unto salvation (1:16). This is the foundation upon which we can build our entire Christian lives. This series will deepen your faith, strengthen your walk, and encourage you to live in the victory of the Holy Spirit.

Advent Conspiracy, Sermon Series
Are you tired of how consumerism has stolen the soul of Christmas? This year make a difference! Join the groundswell of Christ-followers who are choosing to make Christmas what it should be–a joyous celebration of Jesus’ birth that enriches our hearts and the world around us, not a retail circus that depletes our pocketbooks and defeats our spirits. Substitute compassion for consumption by practicing four simple but powerful countercultural concepts:
1) Worship fully… because Christmas begins and ends with Jesus.
2) Spend less… and free your resources for things that truly matter.
3) Give more… of your hands, your words, your heart.
4) Love all… including the poor, the sick and the forgotten. This year we will have a Christmas worth remembering, not dreading. Because Christmas can still change the world when you, like Jesus, give what matters most – your presence.
12/1 – Worship fully ~Pastor Dave
12/8 – Spend less ~Pastor Bob
12/15 – Give more ~Pastor Dave
12/22 – Love All ~Pastor Dave

Expanding the Table 2020, Vision Refresh
Have you ever stopped and asked the question… what is God calling our church to be? This mission of every church should be to bring glory to God by living out the Great Commandment and Great Commission. But… how is God specifically calling our church to fulfill this mission in our context? Over the next few weeks, we are going to talk about the vision of MBC. At the end of the day the church is a family… and we are meant to live on mission… we are meant to invite more people to the family table. Our hope is this: That we would be moved, that we would be compelled to expand our table for the glory of God. As we do this… barriers would be broken, relationships would be deepened, and the mission would be fulfilled.

His Kingdom Come. Life of Christ through the book of Mathew
Headline here…
Every person who walks on this earth desires to make a difference. The big questions of life roll through our minds: Who am I? What is my purpose? Will people remember me? The intriguing reality of these questions is that they are linked to a larger question: which kingdom will we serve?
Over 2000 years ago, a man walked on this earth and was not soon forgotten. A vast majority of people know his name. He changed the world and turned reality upside down. The ancient Scriptures tell us that he is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords; the one who gives purpose, passion, and meaning to our very lives. In the most famous sermon ever delivered, he taught his followers to pray that HIS KINGDOM COME and His will would be done on earth as it is in heaven.
The life of Jesus the Christ made the greatest impact on earth ever. He is the KING! And we have a choice: will we serve his kingdom? Our next sermon series will explore the life of Christ as told in the Gospel of Matthew. Our prayer is this: may HIS KINGDOM come in our lives!

Would you like to be a part of our Worship Team community?
Let us know by filling out the form below.
Our worship services are intended to nurture a love for God and each other, to encourage personal Renewal, Growth, Connection & Action within our community.
We believe we were made to worship the Triune God of Scripture. We also believe God deserves our best. Our worship and a/v teams have the opportunity to engage and direct our church family through heartfelt, corporate worship music and excellent service execution. Our goal is to glorify God through well-crafted services, high quality visual and media, and a progressive traditional style of music which incorporates both modernized traditional worship music and theologically rich songs chosen from the best of what is written today.
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:
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.
Our baptism services are intended to publicly celebrate personal Renewal & Growth in Jesus Christ and spur on Connection & Action within community.

MBC subscribes to the philosophy of shared leadership.
Ministry Directors | Support Staff | Little Footprints Learning Center | Board of Elders
The Pastoral Leadership Team (PLT): MBC subscribes to the philosophy of plurality of leadership. Together, pastors & directors share in the responsibility for leading the day-to-day operations and ministries. Each pastor has specific areas of responsibility and oversight. Together they form a circle of leadership that ensures the mission and policies established by the MBC Elder Board are employed in a way that meets the needs of these areas and recognizes that the spirit of the church is realized when they operate in harmony. This benefits both the pastors and the community.
The Ministry Directors: These spiritually-mature professionals support the church and its leadership by focusing on specific areas of operation. Each of these individuals is guided by the goals of MBC and provides support to the pastoral staff. The biblically-prescribed standards for pastoral leadership give the local church considerable freedom to develop its own model of leadership in order to most effectively reach its community. Various forms, policies and procedures are employed in well governed churches. A church’s history, size, and the stage of development all influence which of the many forms will be the most effective and appropriate for a given organization at a given time.
