October 14-16, 2022, June 2-4, 2023 & June 12-14, 2023
MBC offers multiple opportunities throughout the year for men and women of faith to take a break from it all and have a time of renewing and refreshing. Our Christian weekend retreats are the perfect place for you to come for a breather and be challenged in your faith.
Women’s Getaway #3 — Equipped
October 14-16, 2022 | Download Flyer
Sometimes as women we might feel depleted and in need of some encouragement, even a few moments to just catch our breath while we are ministered to through music. Our equipped weekend is designed to help women take that time. Friday night we start our evening with a concert of praise, Saturday morning and early afternoon is filled with breakout sessions, reflective of our theme for the weekend, sessions that will encourage us and challenge us. Saturday evening and Sunday morning our plenary teacher will open God’s word and help us dig into His word. Returning home equipped to live out your own faith vibrantly is our prayer.

Read about Bronwyn Baker
Bronwyn Baker is a singer, worship leader, and vocal coach who loves Jesus, singing, leading worship, and helping others to love Jesus and worship Him wholeheartedly! Raised as a Baptist Pastor’s kid, Bronwyn was blessed to grow up under the influence of solid biblical teaching and Christian living, and came to know and follow Jesus as her personal Lord and Saviour at the age of 5. Bronwyn’s earliest memories involved singing and the pursuit to sing for Jesus, and following in her father’s footsteps, she has served the Lord vocationally and non-vocationally for over two decades! Bronwyn studied at Liberty University in Virginia where she obtained her Baccalaureate and Master’s degrees in Music and Worship Leadership, and where she also had the privilege to tour internationally with Liberty’s premiere ministry team, “the Sounds of Liberty,” and an affiliated ministry called “Living Proof and Primary Focus.” Though blessed in countless ways, Bronwyn’s life has not been without challenges, trials, and deep disappointments, yet she has come to learn with ever-increasing measure the trustworthiness, faithfulness, and goodness of our great God. An unquenchable desire to respond – to worship – has been birthed deep in Bronwyn’s heart, and set her on the path she believes the Lord has prepared for her. By God’s grace and for His glory and fame alone, Bronwyn hopes that her song and story would spark your own fresh song and story… that many will SEE and FEAR and put their TRUST in the LORD (Psalm 40:1-3)!

Carol Kent
Read about Carol Kent
“What makes my heart sing?” asks Carol. “Speaking to groups looking for messages that include humor and hope that speak to today’s challenges by pointing to God’s Word.” She says, “I think women need to laugh because life is challenging, but I also think they want to go deeply into God’s Word and find out how to live in the middle of relationship struggles, difficult choices, and hidden fears. Women are longing for authenticity and practical strategies for living out their faith. I’ve spoken at large arena events for Women of Faith, Extraordinary Women, and Women of Joy. I’ve also spoken at medium sized venues and in small, intimate gatherings. It’s a joy to do women’s conferences and retreats for churches, and sometimes my husband Gene and I team-teach at worship services. I’m also available to speak at fundraising events for nonprofit organizations.”
As a former Bible Study Fellowship teaching leader, Carol loves to teach the Bible, and she generously weaves scripture, stories, and applications for life throughout her presentations. She is willing to offer theme and message titles to your group, or she can work with your team to customize a topic you have selected.
She is the founder and director of the Speak Up Conference, a ministry that equips speakers and writers to take the next step. With her husband Gene, she founded the nonprofit organization, Speak Up for Hope, which benefits inmates and their families. Carol is also the president of Speak Up Speaker Services, a Christian speakers’ bureau.
