The MFC Vision Statement

The Millbury Federated Church is a growing community of people who love God first and foremost, and express that love in worship; who love their neighbors as themselves; are united in ministering to each other, those around them, and the world by living out their personal relationships with Jesus Christ and through the utilization of their spiritual gifts.

The Covenant of the MFC

We covenant with the Lord and with one another, and do bind ourselves in the presence of God to walk together in His Holy ways.  We will strive to be doers of the Word and not hearers only, to be firm in faith, quickened in hope and constant in charity.  We will consecrate our time, talent, substance, and influence as heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ.

(From our By-laws)

May God Bless Your Visit.

This site is dedicated to the Glory of God by the members of the Millbury Federated Church.  We welcome life-long Christians, new believers, and those who are still searching and hope that all will find something of interest here.  We offer information about our church and its various activities, information about our Lord, and Christian humor and uplifting stories to brighten your day and strengthen your spirit. 

Sunday Morning Schedule

We offer two services: 

At 8:30 a.m. is "Morning Glory" worship - a contemporary service featuring a live band, drama and other new elements offering a fresh way to worship.  

 At 10:30 a.m. is our "Traditional" worship service - a service featuring the choir, the old favorite hymns, and the other beloved traditions of our congregation. 

Childcare is offered during both services.  Sunday school for both children and adults is offered during the Traditional service.  

Between the two services from 10 - 10:30 a.m. is coffee fellowship "bridge" time for those attending services.  Please join us!
