Becoming Involved in Ministry

“Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do...” Ephesians 6:7-8

At Main Baptist Church we are building a healthy, robust community that lives right with God and enjoys its results as we do the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor. With God’s help, along with our entire community we will fulfill God’s purposes, we will follow God’s principles, we will be faithful in God’s practices and we will focus on God’s passion for advancing His kingdom in this community and in the entire world.

As Christians we are called to serve God according to our gifts and abilities.  Becoming involved in one or more of our ministries is an excellent way to grow closer to Christ by serving His people. 

Main has ten Purpose Areas that drive the ministry. Below is a list of these Purpose Areas, along with a brief description of what they do:

Adult Ministries

Congregational Care

Supports the Pastor in building community in Main Baptist church and carrying out the four major tasks of the church, evangelizing the world; worshipping God; teaching the Bible and applying biblical truth, so that God's will may be done on earth as it is in heaven.  “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32 

Discipleship and Training

Evangelistic Missions

Shares the grace and gospel of Jesus Christ with our family, friends, community and world. “And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, ‘Be saved from this perverse generation.’ Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.” Acts 2:40-41 NKJV

Stewardship

Encourages, trains and supports the members and ministries of Main Baptist Church to be consistent stewards of their time, talents and Kingdom resources and assets entrusted to us by God. “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4: 10 NIV

Worship and Arts 

Enhances worship experiences and engages our congregation through the ministry of song, dance, drama and other artistic forms that express our love for God through worship. “On your feet now – applaud GOD! Bring a gift of laughter, sing yourselves into his presence. Know this: GOD is God and God, GOD. He made us; we didn’t make him. We’re his people, his well-tended sheep. Enter with the password: ‘Thank you!’ Make yourselves at home, talking praise. Thank him. Worship him. For GOD is sheer beauty, all-generous in love, loyal always and ever.” Psalm 100:1-5 MSG
