No need to pre-register.

We look forward to seeing you in-person.

BIG+ our exciting, new Kid's Ministry for Infants - Grade 5 begins in the Multi-Purpose Room and Nursery at 10 AM sharp.
Donations received from this offering will be used to purchase sound and media equipment & software to improve the quality of our in-person and online Sunday services. Envelopes are available at the welcome desk on Sunday morning. This is to be over and above your regular giving. Your donation can be given anytime in the month of October. Please designate your donation as "My Thanksgiving Offering" online or by envelope. Thank You for Impacting our World for Jesus.
Just over two years ago our church adopted six priorities, the desire for a name change was one of those priorities. Now that we have completed a full visioning process, the time has come to fulfill the name change priority we had agreed upon.

We would like for you to participate in the name change process by submitting a name you think might be appropriate. Here are some things to consider:
  1. Any new church name should communicate who we are (vision) and what we value (core values).
  2. Although we will continue to be affiliated with the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada, the word "Baptist" need not be part of your proposed name.

We encourage you to pray about the name God would have us use. Think creatively and outside the box. Then submit a name or two that you would like for us to consider. 

Please email your your suggestions to Pastor Jason.

We look forward to receiving your suggestions. 
Due to COVID-19 we have not done much with the church flower beds over the past number of months. We need some help getting them ready for Spring. If you are a gardener we could use your help on Saturday, October 17th at 9:00 AM. Many hands make light work. Thank you!
Join Us on Sunday, October 18th at 10 AM
A HaPpY GATHERING !

Join us in celebrating at a Wedding Shower for Alex and Aiden Curtis

Sunday afternoon in our Church Sanctuary

October 18, 2:00 – 4:00 PM

Of course we will continue practicing safe-distancing, hand sanitizing and asking that you wear a mask. Looking forward to seeing you there.
Sunday Mornings @ 10 AM
Ages: Infants - Grade 5
MBC YOUTH: WEDNESDAY Nights - 6:30 - 8:10PM!

As the FALL progresses - we will be moving from a “Passive” experience to an “Active” experience by offering 4 Training Modules: Music; Technology; Drama; Sports/Games which will be utilized directly in our Youth program.

This will be unique to MBC and our mission to Equip and Release our students into our community to be a positive impact!
Fall is here and with it, the start-up of Missional Community (MC) Groups. MCs are the building block of the church where we experience authentic community, practice holistic gospel centred disciple making and engage in a mission in our region. 

We will start the season with two missional communities: Please let us know what group your would like to be a part of. Consider this your personal invitation!!

  1. Sunday evenings @ 6 PM - Jim and Sheila Dillon (459-4382) - at the church. (Our next meeting will be on October 18th)
  2. Tuesday evenings @ 6 PM - Derek and Sheila Jones (292-1718) - 346 Neill Street. (Our next meeting will be on October 20th)

Each Missional Community will share a meal together and will have a focused time of equipping using the book, Discipleship Uncomplicated.  Copies of the book will be available at your group meeting. 

Making disciples is not a spiritual gift reserved for a few Christian elite. It is the spiritual mandate Jesus gave to all His followers, and it was never intended to be complicated. Whether you are an introverted wall flower or an over the top people person, Discipleship Uncomplicated delivers exactly what you need to start influencing people for Jesus.
Ladies Morning Out: Tuesday mornings @ 9:45 in the multi-purpose room. Please bring along your mask. Coffee and tea will be provided, however we ask that you bring your own individual lunch as there will be no buffet style lunch at this time. All Ladies Welcome! . Any questions contact Andrea at 451-9600 or 451-5116 (cell).
Announcements for our Church Newsletter are to be given to Pastor Jason no later than Monday of each week. Please email him at jasonhinsdale@gmail.com or call his cell at 238-3100. Thank You!
Would you enjoy being a part of our hospitality team on Sunday mornings? We are looking for people who have a passion to welcome, greet and seat people.

We Would Love To Have You Join Us In-Person This Sunday

Your safety and well being are our primary concern - so here are some things you need to know about attending in-person this week.

Entering the building
  1. Entrance to the building will be closed until 30 minutes prior to the start of the service.
  2. If you are experiencing two or more symptoms associated with COVID-19 we kindly ask that you not attend service until you are feeling better.
  3. We encourage you to wear a community mask when you are not in your seat and while singing. If you forget to bring your community mask, we have disposable masks available.
  4. A volunteer inside the entrance will ask you to use hand sanitizer as soon as you are inside the building, you will be asked to sign-in giving your name and phone number, and then proceed directly to the celebration centre or to the children's ministry check-in.

Entering the Celebration Centre (Sanctuary)
A volunteer will help guide you to your preferred row in the celebration centre. Please fill each row from the far left to the right in order to maximize our seating capacity.

Please leave three empty seats between family/friend bubbles. A family/friend bubble consists of anyone you would normally spend time with on a regular basis.

Our service will be Live-Streamed on a screen in the main lobby if you would prefer to participate from the lobby rather than be in the Celebration Centre.
