Profile: We have several nationalities of people who meet for worship, so that we literally look like the city of Fremont. Dress trends toward business-casual, though you can find anything from khakis and jeans to blue suits and dresses. People are friendly and they will want to greet and talk with you.

Beginning: On Sunday morning at 10:00 am we come together for an hour for our Sunday School in which we learn about God’s Word and its application to all areas of life. Note taking, and questions are encouraged for learning. Following that, we provide light refreshments in the foyer to encourage fellowship in between services. Then we begin our Sunday morning service around 11:00 am. We begin with a call to worship in prayer and in an opening song 

Music: The music we sing at MPBC is a blend of old and new. We love the doctrinally rich hymns of the eighteenth century and we find blessing in the choruses of the twenty-first. Most of us who are comfortable with one particular style have discovered, while at MPBC, that we have come to enjoy other genres of music we had not previously encountered. We strongly prefer congregational singing, which emphasizes the gathered body singing praise to God with one voice, over performed music, which tends to spotlight the abilities of some while encouraging passivity in the rest. However, we will employ performed music on appropriate occasions.

Body of Service: Our service then formally begins at 11:00am, led most often by the pastor. During this time, we will open with prayer, a song that communicates our desire to worship God and then the sermon will immediately follow.  After hearing from the Word of God, we respond in worship by singing, offerings and prayer. The main point of this kind of church service is to first call on God, hear from God and then respond to Him accordingly. 

Sermons: Preaching at MPBC is expositional, meaning that it seeks to declare the point of a particular Biblical passage. Sermons usually last between 40-45 minutes and are packed with material for reflection. On a regular basis, our sermon series alternate between the Old and New Testaments. All preaching is gospel-driven.
