God's Purposes

Our task is to present the members of MBM to Christ on the day of judgment holy and blameless. As a result we want to be a church driven by God’s purposes as revealed in Scripture. We know there are many different and legitimate ways of structuring church ministry. However, we feel that the following 5 purposes helpfully summarise God’s purpose for His people here at MBM. 

Magnification

To glorify God in all that we do and to love and delight in him forever.
(1 Corinthians 10:31; Romans 12:1-28)

Mission

To love the world by first and foremost proclaiming the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and secondly, by doing good to all - individually and corporately, locally and globally.
(Matthew 28:18-20; Matthew 25:37-40)

Membership

To love and belong to the MBM community.
(1 John 4:19-21; Romans 12:10)

Maturity

To grow as disciples in our love and knowledge of God to be more like Jesus.
(Romans 8:29; Ephesians 4:11-16)

Ministry

To identify, equip and unleash people for works of service.
(1 Corinthians 12:4-11; Ephesians 4:16)
