Our vision
We exist to be a family of people who knowing God, standing on his word, moving in his spirit, living out his kingdom are seeking the transformation of our lives, our city of Edinburgh, our nation of Scotland and the world.
We believe God has called us to do this through Missional Expressions.
Our values
In all ways MBC aims to be:
- God centred - We seek to know and worship God. This is his Church.
- Prayerful - The prayer life of this church will be foundational for all we do.
- Biblical - God has spoken, is speaking and will speak in and through his word. We are committed to teaching creatively and training people in this way of life. We desire to be a people who live out God's word daily.
- Relevant - We will meet people where they are and introduce them to a living God.
- Relational - Our goal is to develop relationships through which people come to know Jesus and in which they are strengthened and grow in their life with him. To be relational we will have to be real as we 'share life' together and demonstrate authentic practical love to others.
- Radical - We will encourage whole hearted, lifelong following of Jesus. We will expect to see spiritual transformation in all areas of life and consequently will make a difference in Edinburgh (socially, economically, politically, practically).
- Focused - To be this kind of church we need to focus and simplify.
- Faithful - We are a people with a vision and people willing to take faith steps when prompted by the Spirit to move towards God's goal.
Our leadership is made up of a team of elders and a staff team led by the senior pastor. There are many more who lead groups and activities that are essential to the life of our church.
