Starting Point Class

Pastor Tony has been at MMBC for over 25 years, this longevity has given him a unique opportunity to see how although times and seasons change, people don't. He has noticed that it is often the same things that prevent most people from growing as they should in Christ. This class addresses the six most common obstacles of the Christian life and how to overcome them. If you are new to Michael Memorial, have questions about Christianity or simply need a refresher course, this is the class for you.


The class meets every Sunday after the Morning Worship Service in the Conference Room (directly behind the Sanctuary). Lisa has fresh coffee and a snack ready for you.

Everyone is welcome to join us!


  1. "SECURE IN GOD" A discussion about how to have assurance of salvation.
  2. "GROWING IN GOD" A discussion about things we can do that increase our growth in God.
  3. "UNDERSTANDING GOD" A simple way to study and actually understand the Bible.
  4. "PARTICIPATING WITH GOD" A discussion about finding our place of belonging in God's kingdom.

                     * These six classes are taught on a rotating basis so it doesn't matter which Sunday you begin...so come on!

What should I expect?

Our morning Worship Service begins at 9:00am with a blend of contemporary praise music and traditional hymns. Our adult choir prepares our hearts for the message delivered by Senior Pastor, Tony Karnes. Evening worship begins at 5:30pm. This service also features contemporary praise music blended with hymns followed by another message from God's Word.

What should I wear?

At MMBC, we encourage you to come just as you are. Most people attend services in business-casual clothing. But you will also see some suits and ties as well as blue jeans. The most important thing to remember is that God sees our heart and God cares about our heart more than He cares about our style of clothing.

What about my kids?

No matter what age your children might be, we have a special spot for them. Our Nursery is available for the tiniest baby to Kindergarten age. You may utilize this service during any Worship Service and during Small Group Bible Study.


For 1st through 4th graders, we offer Kingdom Kidz at 9:00am on Sunday mornings. This interactive worship experience is held in the Barn and is designed just for kids. At 10:45am the children move into Small Group Bible Studies where they build a faith foundation through the Children Desiring God curriculum.


What about my teenager?

NoPosers Student Ministries consists of 7th to 12th grade students. All of our student activities take place in the youth building and are directed by our Youth Pastor, Bryan Yates.


Our students meet together every Sunday morning with their grade level following service at 10:45am. We study topics relevant to students, and we use a one of a kind system that rotates each grade through a different topic every 10 weeks.


Out students gather together every Wednesday at 6:30pm for worship with a praise band and time spent in God's Word. They love coming early to hang out at the café before service!
