Outreach

A big part of belonging in any church community is finding ways to get involved – serving in an area or ministry that God leads you towards. We would love to help empower you to serve God and have many opportunities that you can explore further to grow in your faith.

Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.
1 Peter 4:10

Global Missions

MBC is committed to supporting many overseas missions. The congregation members have access to specially marked envelopes (or can make their own) which can be marked with the specific mission they are supporting, and these are placed in the offering bowls or money can be donated online and marked for a specific cause.

Kids Hope

KIDS HOPE AUS is Australia’s largest early intervention, school-based mentoring program, bringing together volunteer mentors from the local church with vulnerable children from the local Primary School.

LinC

LinC, which stands for Love In The Name of Christ, is a large group of volunteers from local Christian denominations, joining together to help people within the City of Whitehorse who have short-term needs.

Red Frogs

Red Frogs is a support program for young people from the ages of 13 -30. Its mission is to provide a positive peer presence to young people and promote alcohol free and/or diversionary activities. In particular MBC provides workers and a support team for schoolies week at Phillip Island.

Schools Program

Our Schools Program ministry is an opportunity for us to continue serving the wider Mitcham community through one of the local schools. Our team meets weekly in the school term to run a games program through their lunch break for year 5 and 6 students. The team aims to provide a safe environment for students to come into where they can be themselves, know they will not be bullied, and simply have fun!

The Big LAN

We recognise that different people connect in different ways. Therefore, as well as reaching out to the sports communities we want to engage with the gaming community also. Overseen by one of our Young Adults Jacob Rayment and his team, The Big LAN seeks to bring ‘gamers’ together from all over the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne to connect with one another for a 12 hour gaming session.
