Our Sunday Worship Service begins at 10:00 am.
Sunday Worship Service
We gather on Sunday mornings with the purpose of focusing on God and His glory! To do this, we spend time singing about Him, listening to preaching about Him from His Word – the Bible, and enjoying sweet fellowship with His people. The service typically starts at 10:00 a.m. and ends between 11:00 a.m. and 11:15. Our music is very simple – usually accompanied by piano – so that we can hear our voices sing wonderful truth about God. Don’t worry about what to wear; anything is fine. We have childcare available for Nursery and children ages 2-6 during the Worship Service, should families be helped by that.
We have a Family Service following the Worship Service where we do a variety of things like taking communion together once a month, praying with one another, hosting our member’s business meetings, and hearing from missionaries. The Family Service takes place from 11:15 a.m. to Noon, and childcare continues through this time for the Nursery and 2’s and 3’s.
Sunday Evening
During the school year our Growth Groups typically meet in homes on Sunday nights, with some groups opting to meet on a different day of the week. If you are interested in connecting with a group, reach out and let us know at mbcgrimes@gmail.com. Over the summer, Growth Groups move to Wednesday nights and our MBC Youth meet on Sunday nights at the church.
Wednesdays
Our MBC Equip Ministries meet on Wednesday nights during the school year. This includes MBC Adults for our adults, MBC Youth for our teens, and MBC Kids for our children at 7:00-8:15 p.m. at the church. These classes are designed to help us, at every age level, grow to know and love God more as we learn more about Him from His Word. Check out our events page to find out which MBC Adult Classes are currently offered or register your children for MBC Kids! here.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the preaching like?
The preaching here at MBC is intended to bring glory to God by clearly explaining His Word. Our preaching is “expository” in that we preach from a section of God’s Word by clearly explaining its meaning, offering clear and practical application, and calling for change in response to the glory of God. Sermons typically last 30-45 minutes.
What’s the music like?
Our music is very simple – usually accompanied by piano – so that we can hear our voices sing wonderful truth about God. We sing a mix of hymns – some of the old classics like Amazing Grace and Great is Thy Faithfulness, as well as some rich newer hymns. This mix gives us a nice balance, sometimes using a hymnal, and other times using the digital display. In either case, we encourage worshipers to sing out in vibrant praise to our glorious God and truths that teach and encourage one another.
Do I need a Bible?
Most of our activities and events focus on God’s Word, so you’ll be greatly helped by having a copy of Scripture. If you don’t have a Bible, let us know and we’ll get a copy for you to have, for free! Any translation is fine. Most often, the preaching is from the NKJV.
What time does it start and end?
Our morning worship service begins at 10:00 a.m. and ends around 11:00 a.m. Our Family Service goes from 11:15 a.m. to Noon.
What’s available for my children?
We offer childcare for Nursery and 2’s and 3’s during our Worship Service and Family Service, and Children’s Church (ages 4 through 2nd Grade) during our Worship Service. Children’s Church is designed to teach our children how to love and worship God and is modeled after our Worship Service. All our adult workers must clear a full background check before they are allowed to serve in our children’s ministries. On Wednesday nights, as part of our MBC Equip Ministries, our MBC Kids meet (ages 2-12 [6th Grade]).
Will I be asked to give money?
Absolutely not! We do have many members and regular attenders who want to give a donation to God’s work in the church, as a part of their cheerful worship to God. We give them that opportunity by making an offering box available in our foyer. We also have online giving for those who prefer that option. We encourage our guests not to give anything – we are just glad you’ve joined us for the service, and we don’t want anything to be a distraction from the primary focus – God and His glory.
What should I wear?
Wear whatever you’d like! If you are worried about fitting in, don’t be. We try to keep the focus of our services on God, and we want to help you to know Him. If it helps, most of our folks dress up a little bit for church – jeans or khakis and a collared shirt – but you’ll see everything from suits to shorts.
