MAKING DISCIPLES
All throughout the Bible you can see that God wants His people to grow in four specific areas, and we would love for you to experience them with us at The Church on Main. Our church is here to help you take the next steps on your spiritual journey.
1. Know God
God wants to know you personally. More than just practicing religion, He want to have a relationship with you. Our worship services are where we focus on helping people know God, and we hope you will join us again soon.
2. Find Freedom
You can know God and still have a skewed worldview or baggage from your past. God’s process for you to experience freedom from yesterday is to have healthy relationships in your life with people who will encourage you in your relationship with Him. Connecting with the church through Small Groups is how we find life-changing community at The Church on Main. Anyone can join a group, and you can find one that is right for you by contacting one our leaders or by calling the church office at
3. Discover Purpose
Everything changes when you realize the reason you were created. You are an important part of God’s plan, and your life will never make sense until you discover your purpose. Our Fast Track is designed to help you take this important step. Fast Track takes place periodically throughout the year so make plans to attend the next time.
4. Make a Difference
God’s ultimate plan for your life is to make a difference. The Bible says your joy will be complete when you make a positive impact on other people’s lives. Through different ministries, you can connect to the opportunities available at The Church on Main to live out your purpose and serve others by using your God-given gifts.
OUR CODE WE LIVE BY
LOVE.
The 2nd greatest commandments that Jesus identified are simple – love God, and love people. It’s the foundation of who we’re supposed to be as followers of Christ. We do everything with an attitude of love for each other and for the world around us.
UNITY.
We can achieve more for the kingdom of God together, as one body of believers, than we can separately. When we come together united under the same vision and purpose, we become more than just a team. We become family.
JOY.
We cultivate an environment of fun, laughter, and positivity. We use creative ways to communicate God’s love for people. Serving God should be a blast, so we laugh big, loud, and often.
LEADERSHIP.
When we serve, we help set the example for the next generation of believers. We promote growth and maturity in those who are dedicated to serving the Lord and His people will all of their might.
