Chris Parker

Senior Pastor

We are committed to living out this mission through dedicated service, outreach, and a strong sense of community.

At MBC, our goal is to:

  • Evangelize Okinawa: Bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to our local community.
  • Send Missionaries Worldwide: Spreading the message of Christ across the globe.
  • Disciple People to Christ: Guiding individuals in their spiritual growth and relationship with Jesus.
  • Support US Military Families: Providing a spiritual home and community for military personnel and their loved ones.
  • Support Japanese Locals and Foreigners: Fostering a welcoming environment for all, regardless of background or nationality.

What We Believe​…

At MBC, our faith is grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the principles of the Holy Bible. We believe in:

  • We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten in the flesh by the Holy Spirit, was born of a virgin, Mary. He is eternal, He is God and has no beginning, and is true God and true Man. (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18-35, Colossians 2:9, John 1:14, Galatians 4:4-5, and I Timothy 3:16.
  • We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins per the Scriptures, as representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified by His shed blood. (I Corinthians 15:1-4, II Corinthians 5:21, I Peter 2:24, Romans 5:9, I Peter 1:18-19)
  • We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1, John 10:30, Matthew 28:19 and Acts 5:3-4)
  • We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are inspired of God, that they are inerrant and are supreme and final authority. (II Peter 1:21, II Timothy 3:16.
  • We Believe God’s Words are divinely preserve and will be kept pure throughout all ages. (Psalm 12:6, 7; 119:160; Isaiah 40:8, Matthew 24:35; I Peter 1:25)
  • We believe that winning of souls is the most important endeavor of our church.
  • We believe in propagating missions at home (Acts 1:8) and foreign (Matthew 28:18-20)
  • As Baptists believe in the absolute autonomy (Self-governing) of the local body, and we believe that God’s Word should be the governing authority of the local church under the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
