Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

New York Summer Splash

Each summer, MBC commissions two teams of adults and students to travel to Brooklyn, New York, to serve the Summer Splash program in partnership with the Dorcas Center.

The teams stay in a predominately Chinese community and spend time sharing the Gospel with kids ranging from elementary school age through high school. The teams serve as worship leaders and tell the story of God

ESOL

The mission of English for Speakers of Other Languages is to help people in our community learn how to speak, read, and write in English. Our ESOL ministry is one of MBC’s longstanding and beloved ministries, aiming to share the love of Jesus with people from all over the world right here in our backyard.

Currently, we have partnerships with a few different groups in the Manassas community, and classes are already ongoing for the Fall of ’23. If you or someone you know is looking for ESOL classes, please email Pastor Sam for more information.

Hypothermia Shelter

The Manassas Hope for the Homeless is comprised of Christians from over a dozen churches in the greater Manassas area who have come together to provide emergency shelter to the area’s homeless when we experience extreme cold weather.

Hypothermia Season Starts November 1st through March 31st when temperatures are 32 degrees or below. You can also check our Facebook page for updates.
