What is a Community?

You were created to be part of God’s family. At MBC, we want everyone to have the opportunity to connect with others. Communities at MBC give an opportunity for people in a similar stage of life and those with shared life experiences to connect with each other. We invite you to check out what communities are currently meeting. Don’t hesitate to reach out to the listed contact for more information.

What Communities are there?

WOMEN’S WEDNESDAY NIGHT BIBLE STUDY 

The Wednesday Night Women’s Bible Study meets in person and virtually on Wednesday evenings at 7 pm beginning on January 18, 2023, and ending May 10, 2023. You can join at any time.

The Wednesday Night Women’s Bible Study provides an opportunity to fellowship with other sisters in Christ and grow deeper in your knowledge of the Word. For the 2022-2023 study, we will be going through Psalms and Romans.

 

WEDNESDAY MORNING MEN’S COMMUNITY

The Wednesday Morning Men’s Community (WMMC) meets weekly at 6:30 am in Tysons Community Room E (3rd Floor East). Coffee is available at 6:30 and during the fellowship time afterwards in the MBC Cafe, along with pastries and McDonald’s breakfast sandwiches. The WMMC is currently in a series entitled, “This is My Story” in which different men in the WMMC and church are presenting their testimony. There is a different testimony each week, lasting from 20-30 minutes, followed by table discussions and feedback to the presenter, then fellowship in the Cafe from 7:30 on for those who can stay a little longer. Following the series of personal testimonies, there will tentatively be a study of a book dealing with personal holiness. The WMMC will meet Wednesday mornings through June 28 before adjourning for the months of July and August. There is no registration fee or need to sign up – just show up and experience a mid-week boost of encouragement and fellowship in your spiritual life.
