Welcome to Bukit Mertajam Baptist Church

Greetings and welcome to all Bukit Mertajam Baptist Church Members, all well wishers, readers and our visitors.  This is BUKIT MERTAJAM BAPTIST CHURCH or more popularly known as BMBC.  This blog is a new chapter in its long established history.  The church has already joined the community with its online Facebook membership.  We have come a long way and there are so many historical and nostalgic events that have touched and moved many BMBC members, worshipers and visitors throughout the years.  There are some who were founding members of the church who have had from generations to generations have been the blessed worshipers of this "little" church as it was known to some on the net world who probably had came across the church's building photograph linked to Trekearth by Ally Thean Lyn or better still, it is the little church with the Big Tree in front which has been providing shades for our car park.

There are those who were borne and bred at this township and had been baptised and born again at this little corner of the Big Foot Hill or Tua Shua Kha or 大山脚 or Bukit Mertajam at Seberang Perai Tengah or previous know as Central Province Wellesley district in Penang, on the Mainland of Peninsular Malaysia.

Some were engaged, married and have their weddings solemnised at the Church and celebrated the happy occasions here too.  There are those who were celebrating their birthdays together and fellowships.  Then there were those who were dedicated to the Lord and blessed the Church by serving relentlessly for the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ.

There were visitors from near and far and missionaries who stamped their presence at the Church.  There were others who came to Bukit Mertajam town on pilgrimage annually for the festivals but never came into this little church with the Big Tree.  Those who came in and were blessed came again and again.  Those who are now spread out in the other corners of the world, we welcome you back and do visit us physically and on the virtual world.

On the other side of happiness, there were tears of joys and sadness too.  Some have gone to be with the Lord and rejoiced in His Kingdom in heaven above.  To each his own to relate to BMBC.  There were reverends,  pastors, preachers, missionaries, leaders and elders who have spent many sweet moments in time at the church and have contributed to the spiritual and pastoral , and leadership guidances guarding the spiritual and physical well being of the church's and members' welfare and coordinated many social, fund raising and community projects here.

We hope that this is a little corner where you can link to us and continue the fellowship with the church and attendees of the church, who are regular worshipers as well as some visitors who came by during the festivals and school holidays.

This posting is a prelude to the official postings by the Church pastoral team and Committee of BMBC and the Leaders of various ministries including the Youth and Children Ministry to cater to the various needs and objectives of the Church as stated in its Affirmation of Being and Intent, the Church Core Values and as well as in harmony with the various affiliations of the Church (BMBC),such as the Malaysian Baptist Convention (MBC) and National Evangelical Christian Fellowship (NECF) of Malaysia which is a member of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA), Evangelical Fellowship of Asia and one of the three component bodies of the Christian Federation of Malaysia (CFM).

As our journey begins, there will be information, notes on sermons,pictures and other media notifications to members of the various activities of the Church and for the Community in Bukit Mertajam in particular which will be posted to keep everyone updated and informed.  However, we need the unity and cooperation of members and lay initiatives from everyone to provide feedbacks and contributions to make this channel of information and communication a success and that you would want to return to visit us for more blessings or to bless us and to the salt and light of the world.

Please do forgive us for any of our shortcomings as we are a team of new non-tech savvies embarking and working on an infinite journey, and are on the discovery path on the online internet blog world.  There have been many ideas put forwards and shared with us to create our very own BMBC website which are being considered and we hoped in due seasons to explore on the uncharted course.

We humbly beg your forgiveness for any errors or omissions on any of our misgivings and misguided information posted here or in the future.

For those who would like to leave us your contacts and comments, we welcome you but please avoid any profanity and mind the sensitivities of our other readers.

May God Bless You.
