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) |

Glory" worship - a contemporary service featuring a live band,
drama and other new elements offering a fresh way to
worship.

congregation.
Childcare is offered during
both services. Sunday school for children

Bible Verse: "We
know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of
his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent
his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that
Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God."
1 John 4:13-15
"Let a man set his heart only on doing the
will of God and he is instantly free. No one can hinder him."
--A. W. Tozer
