A Fresh Season to Reconnect With Church

September always feels a little like a fresh start. Summer vacations are winding down, school is back in session, and many of us are settling into more regular routines.  It can also be a good time to ask ourselves: Where does church fit into my routine?

Life gets busy. Work, family, sports, appointments, and everything else on the calendar can quickly take over. Sometimes we don't intentionally drift away—we simply get busy.  That's why September can be a wonderful season

God Can Use Our Hardest Journeys

There are seasons in life that we would never choose for ourselves.

As parents, watching one of your children struggle is one of the hardest things you can experience. You want to help, but sometimes you don't know what the right next step is. There are questions, difficult decisions, and moments when you wonder if you're doing enough.

Our family experienced that.

One of our children struggled with reading and learning, and while we searched for answers, there were times we c

Helping Children Build a Strong Faith

As parents, grandparents, and members of a church family, we all hope the children in our lives will grow to know and love the Lord. While we can't make their decisions for them, we can help build a foundation of faith that will guide them throughout their lives.

When my children were young, I didn't always wonder if I was doing enough. Like most parents, I was simply trying to do my best each day. We prayed before meals, prayed together at bedtime, made church a priority,

Starting a New Season With God First

I've always enjoyed the changing of the seasons. There is something refreshing about a new beginning. As summer comes to an end and fall begins to approach, our routines begin to change. Schools are back in session, activities fill the calendar, vacations come to an end, and life starts moving a little faster again.

Every year I tell myself, "This year I'll stay ahead of everything." Yet somehow the calendar fills up quicker than I expected. Before long, I'm trying to balan

Praying for Students, Teachers, and Families

As summer begins to wind down, many families are preparing for the start of a new school year. Backpacks are being packed, schedules are filling up, and students, teachers, school staff, and parents are stepping into another season filled with new opportunities and new challenges.

At Muncie Baptist Church, we believe one of the greatest gifts we can give is our prayers.

We pray for students as they begin a new year of learning, growing, and building friendships. Whether they

Shining God's Light in Our Community

One of the greatest blessings of being part of a church family is having the opportunity to share God's love beyond the walls of the church. While Sunday worship is at the heart of who we are, our faith continues throughout the week as we serve, encourage, and care for those around us.

At Muncie Baptist Church, we have been blessed with many opportunities to shine God's light in our community. Whether it's hosting the Carle Mobile Market, Vacation Bible School, community fe

Around the Church Family

If you've been following our weekly Monday blog posts, you may notice something a little different!

What began as "Events This Week" has grown into "Around the Church Family." We realized there is so much more to share than just dates and times. Church is about people—worshiping together, serving our community, celebrating milestones, growing in faith, and building friendships.

Our hope is that this page will help you:

Ordinary Rocks. Extraordinary Purpose.

Have you ever looked at a simple rock and wondered what story it could tell?

A rock by itself may not seem very special. It may be rough around the edges, have imperfections, or look completely ordinary. But when those individual rocks are gathered together, something beautiful begins to happen. Each one brings its own shape, texture, and uniqueness to the collection.

This picture reminds me so much of the church.

God brings together people from all different walks of life. S

True Freedom Found in Christ

As we celebrate the Fourth of July and reflect on the freedoms we enjoy as a nation, we are reminded of another freedom that is even greater — the freedom we find through faith in Jesus Christ.

Freedom is something many people long for. Freedom from fear, guilt, worry, loneliness, hurt, and the burdens we carry each day. While the world often looks for peace and freedom in circumstances, God reminds us that true freedom begins in the heart.

Through Christ, we are given hope,

Faith at Home: Encouraging Families

Faith is not only something we experience on Sunday mornings — it is something that can be lived out each day in our homes, conversations, and everyday moments together as families.

At Muncie Baptist Church, we know that families today often juggle busy schedules, work, activities, school events, and responsibilities. In the middle of all the busyness, even small moments centered on faith can make a lasting impact.

Faith at home does not have to be complicated. It can be as
