Maitland Baptist Church

Maitland Baptist Church (MBC) is simply a community of people who love God and are doing life together in a way which responds to the grace shown to us by Him and which reflects the love of Jesus to each other. We recognise that Jesus is the head of the church and that our agenda is set by seeking Him, reading God's word and being open to the empowering of the Holy Spirit to guide and equip us for the building up of God's kingdom in the place he has put us. MBC's vision statement - Loving God, Loving People, Making Disciples - reflects Jesus core call to today's church and is the focus for the pastoral team as it leads the church and encourages its members to be 'participants in' rather than 'observers of' what God is doing in his community at Maitland and beyond. MBC has established a leadership team comprising a number of co-equal pastors who are engaged in preaching, discipling and pastoral care and who are also responsible for different areas of ministry as they work alongside a group of elder/leaders. Together this leadership team stays in touch with the church community, prays for them and encourages them towards a real and dynamic walk with Jesus. Leadership decisions are made on a collaborative basis in an environment of mutual accountability and respect for each other recognising that God has given each of us different strengths and abilities to practice in the life of the church.
