◀️ Then and Now ▶️

Today marks 178 years of MABC! We've been around since 1848, decades before the Civil War, the Gilded Age, disco fervor in the 80s, and Y2K.

Throughout our existence, we have been a ministry focused on community. In the 80s and 90s, under the leadership of the late (and great) Rev. Mike Easterling, we began a Sunday Afternoon Meal for Seniors and a Shelter for the Homeless. We also began ministries to people with AIDS at Bellevue Hospital.

In 1993, we became a Charter member of the Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptist, solidifying our mission of inclusivity of all persons regardless of sexual orientation or gender orientation.

Today, we continue our mission as a place of worship that honors inclusion and welcomes everyone. Our senior pastor, Rev. Susan Sparks, a trial lawyer turned standup comedian and Baptist minister, drives a community of faith that follows a gospel of joy and laughter, not judgment and fear. Along with our Sunday Worship, Bible Study, lively music program, and active community service, we strive to be the Baptist Church that redefines what people believe Baptist to be.

How can psalms help us to let joy and happiness in?

This Summer, our Bible Study Series “Summer of Psalms” will explore that topic. We’ll study the Biblical psalmists alongside modern day artists who similarly offer their wisdom and words to us for the moment of now.

Every week, we’ll add to a Spotify playlist (linked in our bio) with music shared by you and our teacher, Rev. Ashley Bair.

Our first class begins tomorrow at 9:45AM ET both in person and virtually!
See you there ☀️
