Our Music:

Our music can best be described as “blended.” Sometimes we sing “hymns” and other times our worship features a more modern sound utilizing guitar, keyboard, drums, and other instruments.

Our Preaching:

Pastor Troxler uses a variety of approaches. All preaching at Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church in Battle Creek is Bible based. Sometimes messages will be based on a topic, with scripture to support key principles behind the topic. Other times, the Pastor will preach principles found in just a few scripture verses.
