The SWAT High School department at MBC partners with parents in setting Godly examples for young people. We strive to instill the Word of God in their hearts, teach them to walk in His ways, and guide them in a path of obedience.  Our programs feature indepth Bible studies, missions work, service projects, camps, trips, and countless opportunities to foster friendships which could last a lifetime.
