Baptist Beliefs and Practice
Statement of faith
We believe it is important to have a comprehensive statement of what we believe Scripture teaches and to which all members must consent. We use the same Statement as our Association of Churches.
Believers’ Baptism
Our Lord’s command makes it very clear that we are to make disciples,… baptising them… and teaching them.Discipleship comes first, then baptism – and that order is always the same in the New Testament.
The Lord’s Table
The Lord’s Table was institutes by our Saviour the night he was crucified. He took bread, gave thank and broke it and gave to them saying, “This is my body given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
Church Membership
We have a growing church family. 149 of us are members but with children and others committed to MBC, we number more than 300.
But what does membership in a Baptist church mean?
