The year 2025 marks 95 years of God’s faithfulness to MBC and its constituents in providing robust and impactful retreat, camp and conference experiences for His glory. The vision of MBC is to be a vibrant partner with the Church in growing resilient, biblically rooted families. We praise God for using this place to impact and strengthen families for 95 years and we pray that this will continue. Bible teaching has and continues to be the foundational tool of impact at MBC. We believe that the historical and future vibrancy of the Church is tied directly to its commitment to the truth of Scripture. This narrated tour of the ebb and flow of the Church in England and the subsequent impact on the global Church will be a great reminder of God’s faithfulness in building His Church.

In Bedford, you can learn about John Bunyan, the author of “The Pilgrim’s Progress,” and get a glimpse into the life of one of Christianity’s key figures. Bath adds even more to the mix with the beautiful Bath Abbey and the Jane Austen Centre, where you can dive into the world of the beloved author in the city that inspired her.
