South Main Baptist Church
Family Ministry
"Celebrating and navigating Mondays through Sundays from week one to week 936 toward authentic and lasting faith in Christ."
The Family Ministry at South Main celebrates the big and small of childhood from the birth of a child to their send-off from high school into a world of their own. We value excellence, creativity, intentionality, and safety in all that we do. And we strive to combine the influence of a multigenerational church—with a history of servant leadership, educationally rich discipleship, and glorious worship—with the influence of the home, where parents and caregivers have the greatest effect and understanding of their children. The bent of our ministry is to provide programming, people, and resources in each child’s life, so that ultimately they hold dearly to an authentic and lasting faith in Christ.
Nursery & Mini-MainKids – Infants through age 3
In the Family Ministry, one of our strongest desires is for even our youngest ones to sense that God loves them and that church is a good place to be. Embracing and caring for your child’s physical needs in a safe environment, surrounded by loving adults who demonstrate Christ’s love, are what matter most at this stage.
MainKids — Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade
At this stage in life, engaging a child's interests, forming friendships, and discovering God’s character through the Bible and experiences with God’s family are the things that matter most. Every Sunday, kids have opportunities to read, sing, play, think, serve, worship, create, and pray with dedicated teachers that welcome them by name, connect with them, and help connect them to Jesus.
The 527 Tribe — 5th through 7th grade
Affirming each child’s personal faith and life journey is what matters most in navigating the constantly changing pre-teen years. Our "527 Tribe" of 5th to 7th graders has a dedicated space and programming designed to help them build deeper connections with each other and with adult mentors, as we explore how the Bible guides us in our lives on Mondays through Sundays and find opportunities to learn, give, and lead.
Youth — 8th through 12th grade
We know each of our kids and their families—and in their final years under our care, we pray for them and surround them with people and programming that aim to send them out into the world with a lasting and authentic faith in Christ, which they can claim as their own.
“Worship, discover, share” is South Main’s roadmap for Christian discipleship. Each week, we endeavor to worship God, discover God’s Word, and share with each other and those in need, as we seek balance, direction, and a sacred rhythm for our lives.
