"Inviting People to KNOW & FOLLOW Christ"

Our Mission: The Great Commission

We at MBC believe that the Bible commands us to share our faith with others. We are a growing congregation committing ourselves to expanding our family through evangelism and discipleship. There are many ways we help our members accomplish that task.

 

Biker Brunch Toy Drive

Biker Brunch and Toys for Disadvantaged Kids

Biker Brunch Toy Drive Our fifth annual Biker Brunch and Toys for Disadvantaged Kids [MBC’s trademark ministry name for this outreach] will take place this year on Saturday October 8th, 2011 from 10:30am to noon (doors open at 9:30am).  All bikers are invited. We work with Prison Fellowship in providing toys for families who have loved ones incarcerated. We also help families with whom our church has contact that experience real needs around the holidays. We provide turkeys/hams & groceries as well as toys.

 

Community Outreach

Community Carnival

In the early fall of each year after school starts we have a Saturday Community Carnival with booths, inflatibles, food, and fun. We hold this on the back of our property as a means of building relationships with our neighbors and their children in our community.

Lunches To Local Schools And Businesses

This ministry provides lunches to local schools and businesses. It is just another way we can show others we care about them.

 
Vote!

Voting Center

God has given us opportunity to be a voting center for our district. We welcome many people through our doors on voting days for local and national elections. We feed the election workers and provide the facilities to our community on these special days.
 
Red Cross Blood Drives

Red Cross Blood Drives

We also host Red Cross blood drives at our church throughout the year. We want our community to know that we care for them and desire to show that care in tangible ways. Many of our people give blood at these events. You may call the church office for scheduled blood drive times.

Home Schooling

Home Schooling We are home to two home schooling groups that meet in our facility each week throughout the school year. It is our desire to encourage young families and families with teenagers in Biblical values-based education. We have students from our church in both groups, along with having students in our church family that attend area Christian and public schools as well. They all find a home within the fellowship of our church family!

Victory Mission Ministries

We engage in support of and are ministry partners with Victory Mission Ministries here in Columbus. We engage in an annual food drive in November to help feed the homeless and those in our community who find themselves in great need.
 
Urban Connections

Urban Connections

We work with Urban Connections in the inner city of Columbus to provide personnel for teaching summer camp programs and Bible studies for the kids along with volunteer tutor help. We continue to work in our Jerusalem reaching out to a variety of ethnic and social backgrounds with the Gospel of Christ.
