Frequently Asked Questions

When Is Worship?

Millbrook’s morning worship occurs nearly every Sunday morning at 10:00 am.

We occasionally meet for worship and/or activities in the evenings rather than mornings. During warmer months we alternate our services indoors or outdoors on different weeks. Be sure to check our regular calendar for the latest updates to the worship schedule.

Our Sunday school classes have met very differently during the pandemic. See one of our ministers for the most recent Sunday school updates.

Where Is Millbrook Located?

Millbrook is located at 1519 E. Millbrook Road in North Raleigh, near the intersection of Falls of Neuse and Millbrook Roads. We are directly across from Millbrook Elementary School and not far from Quail Corners Shopping Center.

Where Do I Park?

Millbrook has ample parking along the sides and back of our lot. Visitor spots are located near the main entrance of the building. No parking spots except handicapped spaces are assigned.

What about My Children?

We offer programs and events for all ages, and their times and locations keep church exciting. Please see our calendar and Children’s Ministries Page for regular updates.

What Should I Wear?

Be comfortable and reverent. Some people will dress more formally, others will come in business casual and blue jeans. Millbrook encourages everyone to dress in a way that allows each individual to honor God’s presence and feel physically comfortable.

What Is the Inclement Weather Policy?

Millbrook Baptist Church mostly follows the Wake County School system’s decisions for closings.

In general, if the schools are closed, the church office will be closed and all events scheduled for that day will be cancelled. If there is a school delay, the church office will also open later. If there is an early dismissal, the church office will close early.

All Saturday and Sunday cancellations and closings will be listed on the local TV stations.

What Kind of Baptist Church Is Millbrook?

The short answer is this: We’re Millbrook’s brand of Baptist. For us, this means listening for God’s call upon our community. Then we collectively and collaboratively seek to follow that call.

Millbrook is a place where every member is considered (and expected to be!) a minister. It’s a place where everyone is welcomed. It’s a place where everyone is reminded they are children of God. And it’s a place that’s a work in progress. As new individuals come into our community, the uniqueness of Millbrook’s tapestry continues to unfold.

But we do not live in a vacuum. While Millbrook remains an autonomous body, we are affiliated with several larger denominational bodies (Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, Alliance of Baptists, and the Raleigh Baptist Association). We share in collective fellowship and missional endeavors with these organizations. These bodies connect us to a larger world and the collective Body of Christ.

Who Runs the Show?

Millbrook thinks in circles, not pyramids. The church is governed by its members. Small committees are given express authority by our membership to handle certain tasks. Committees make most decisions and invite members to join them in their work. The clergy advises and supports the church’s members, but they also have their own explicit spheres of authority and roles to play.

Our structure allows Millbrook to function in ways consistent with critical features of our Baptist ecclesiology. At the core of our ecclesiology—i.e. the way we imagine and do church—are four essential freedoms that have historically distinguished Baptists from other Christian groups. Most members of Millbrook still subscribe to them.

Soul Freedom — We believe in the priesthood of all believers and affirm the freedom and responsibility of every person to relate directly to God without the imposition of creed or the control of clergy or government.

Bible Freedom — We believe in the authority of Scripture. We believe the Bible, under the Lordship of Christ, is central to the life of the individual and the church. We affirm the freedom and right of every Christian to interpret and apply scripture under the leadership of the Holy Spirit.

Church Freedom —We believe in the autonomy the local church. We believe Millbrook Baptist Church is free, under the Lordship of Christ, to determine our membership and leadership, to order our worship and work, to ordain whomever we perceive as gifted for ministry, and to participate as we deem appropriate in the larger body of Christ.

Religious Freedom — We believe in the freedom of religion, freedom for religion, and freedom from religion. We support the separation of church and state.
