You may arrive as a friend and leave feeling a little more at home
Church begins to feel like home when we know and care for one another.
Life Groups are welcoming spaces to share life, grow in faith, ask honest questions, and build lasting friendships. Whether you are new to MBCC, returning after time away, or looking for a deeper connection, you are invited to come as you are and find a group where you belong.
At MBCC, we are an inclusive Christian church where everyone is welcomed equally and unconditionally. Our welcome extends across sexual orientation, gender, gender identity and expression, race, culture, age, national origin, socioeconomic status, family configuration, education, physical and mental abilities, and spiritual and religious traditions.
Everyone is invited to participate fully in the life, leadership, fellowship, service, ministry, and rites of the church. Wherever you are on your faith journey, there is a place for you here.

Finding God in Nature is a welcoming Life Group for those who enjoy connecting faith, fellowship, and the outdoors.

Raising kids in the South Bay is a gift, but it can also be a lot to juggle. This weekly Life Group gives young dads a relaxed, honest place to talk about parenting, marriage, work, faith, doubt, and the kind of fathers they hope to become, while finding encouragement from other dads who are figuring it out too.
Facilitated by Pastor Mike, the group will meet at a day and time chosen by participants, with locations ranging from the beach to the manse, and probably a pub or BBQ now and then. Come for the conversation and stay for the friendship and encouragement.
For more information, please email the group leader.
Have an idea for bringing people together?
Start a group around something you care about, a shared interest, activity, conversation, or way to serve. You don’t need to have everything figured out. We’ll help you take the next step and create a welcoming space where connection can grow.
No matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey,
you are welcome here!
