MDWK at First

What's happening on Wednesdays at FBC

Wednesdays have long been called "Hump Day," meaning that it's often the most difficult day of the week, standing between the previous two days of work and the upcoming two days of work before the beloved weekend arrives. Wednesday is often the "hump" many people have to get over to coast into a work-free couple of days.


The middle of the week -- MDWK -- also provides an opportunity to get recharged and refreshed spiritually with your church family in a community of faith. That's the goal of MDWK at First. We want you to be able to get plugged into Bible study and fellowship with other believers as you seek to be the hands and feet of Jesus during the week! MDWK at First is a great opportunity to do just that!


Here's what's happening this fall at MDWK at First during Fall, 2024!

MDWK Meal | Wed, 4:30 - 6 PM | Family Life Center

Our hospitality team, under the direction of Mrs. Debbie Bassett, prepares a delicious meal every Wednesday evening! The cost is $4.00 for kids 12 and under, $6.00 for those age 13 and older, with a family maximum of $21.00. First time guests to MDWK at First eat their first meal free!

Kids at First | Wed @ 6 PM | Building B and The Zone

We have childcare for children starting at birth for parents involved in other MDWK at First ministries and activities for children preschool through 5th grade. Children, grades 1-5, will take part in service projects such as Operation Christmas Child, visiting assisted care homes, and helping the First Baptist Church Food Pantry. Royal Ambassadors (RAs) and Girls in Action (GAs) are ministries for children that teach them about the Bible, missions, and serving others. Doors open at 5:45 pm with ministries happening from 6-7 pm.

Students at First | Wed @ 6 PM | Family Life Center (upstairs)

The Student Ministry Midweek Gathering is a time where you can hang out, eat, and look at what God says in the Bible. The Youth Area opens at 5:15 on Wednesday evenings. You can play video games, card games, pool, ping pong, carpet ball, basketball, grab a snack, or just hang out. At 6:00, we start our Midweek Gathering for some games, laughs, and a time to learn what God teaches us about living life in middle school, high school, and beyond.

Pastor's Bible Study | Wed @ 6 PM | Sanctuary

Dr. Jonathan Russell leads an All Adult Bible study in the sanctuary. These verse-by-verse studies examine a book of the Bible in great detail, and careful attention is given to how the lessons from Scripture impact daily living. Currently, he is going through a study of the historical books of the Old Testament, called "Kingdoms and Exiles: The Historical Books Revealed."

Young Adults at First | Wed @ 6 PM | First Cup

Our young adults do a variety of studies from topical to walking through a book of the Bible chapter by chapter. You can come any time and see what they are discussing. In the coming weeks, they will look at the video series, "Gospeler", to learn more about sharing their faith.


Women at First | Wed @ 6 PM | Building E

Join Women at First as they read their way through the book of Ephesians starting August 14th.


"Who am I? The question of identity is always in the back of our minds, and it’s currently at the forefront of social conversations. But the first question we need to ask is: Who is God? Then we can begin to consider, And who am I in light of who He is? In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul describes God as a merciful and forgiving Father who unites us in Christ and empowers us to live by the Spirit. We’re adopted children and fellow citizens with the saints because of God’s loving pursuit on our behalf.


"In this 7-session study, Bible teachers, authors, and friends Jackie Hill Perry, Jasmine Holmes, and Melissa Kruger walk through the book of Ephesians, examining the invaluable truths Paul’s letter holds for us today. Along the way, they’ll help us understand the riches of our inheritance as daughters of our heavenly Father, as well as what it means to walk in a manner worthy of our calling."

Men at First | Wed @ 6 PM | Building E (Room 138)

Our men gather each week for Bible study, prayer, and fellowship. Staring August 14th, they will begin a study of the book of Jonah.


"The book of Jonah is best known for Jonah’s run-in with a large fish. But there’s much more to the story than Jonah’s three-day stay in a fish’s belly. It’s about God’s grace, compassion, and love—even toward wayward people—and his commitment to spreading his message around the world.


"In this six-session series, pastor David Platt shows us that God is determined to spread his Word to all the nations of the earth and use his people to do it. The book of Jonah shows us that God desires to transform the hearts of his followers, making them more like him as they carry out his purposes in the world. Join David and get a renewed sense of what it means to orient your life around the mission of God."

Celebration Choir and Orchestra Rehearsal | Wed @ 7:05 PM | Sanctuary

The Celebration Choir and Celebration Orchestra meet on Wednesdays to rehearse and prepare to lead in Morning Worship on Sundays. You can find out more about this part of the Music and Worship Ministry by clicking here: https://fbcmilton.org/worship.
