Millbrook Baptist Church Joins the 2026-2027 Helping Churches Thrive Cohort

Starting in October 2026, Millbrook Baptist Church is embarking on a year-long journey alongside a cohort of congregations across North Carolina in Helping Churches Thrive, a ministry initiative of The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of North Carolina. Together, we will explore seven defining characteristics of a thriving congregation, one each month, through worship, congregational conversations, small group engagement, and more. This isn’t a program handed down from the outside; it’s an invitation from within our own community to ask a meaningful question together: What does it look like for Millbrook to truly thrive? We believe every voice matters, and we hope you’ll bring yours to the conversation.
