The gift of marriage is perhaps the most important earthly relationship that God has given us. But creating a great marriage is a lifelong learning experience. This workshop/seminar will focus on building on our strengths and the appreciation of our spouses, along with increasing our communication and conflict resolution skills, while building better emotional intimacy and cooperation. The evening promises to be entertaining with practical tips. Childcare will be available.

Baptism is an important next step to take ... an outward sign that a change has occurred on the inside of a person. It doesn’t make you a believer but shows that you already believe. If you have reached the point in your journey where you have accepted Christ as your Savior, we hope that you will pray about being baptized. This class is required if you want to participate in the November 22 baptism. Click HERE to register.

Parent Orientation: November 12 | 10:00am | Littles Large Group Room

Baby Dedication: November 19 | 9:00am or 10:30am (pick one) | Auditorium

This is a special time where parents dedicate their child(ren) (age birth to 2 years) to God with the support of our church family and close friends. This celebration helps families focus on the commitment they are making to raise their children to know and follow God. We will be celebrating baby dedication during our regular Sunday morning services and will also have a small reception and an opportunity for a family photo afterwards in the HUB. 

PARENTS: To prepare for the event, parents are required to attend a short Parent Orientation (15-20 minutes) and complete homework beforehand. No worries, you'll want to do this homework. You’ll also need to submit a candid photo of your child(ren) which will be shown during the worship service. You can sign up HERE for the required orientation by November 10 and download homework HERE.

November 30 | 6:00pm-8:30pm

Join us for our outdoor Live Nativity! Take a trip back in time as you drive through our campus.

Plan now to share this special time with your family this Christmas season! Free of charge!

Life Groups

Have you found a group so that you can connect with others and grow in Christ? Getting involved in a group is a great way to help make Mainstreet feel like home.

Bible and a Buck
1st & 3rd Saturdays | 8:00am

Lobby

Bring your Bible and a Buck (if you want a donut) and the coffee will be ready for you! This gathering of men dives into Scripture and challenges each other in their walk as they strive to be men of integrity.

Have you considered honoring someone you love or have appreciated for a life well lived? Consider having a Memorial Tree planted on the grounds at Mainstreet. When you give toward a Memorial Tree, you choose the type of tree to be planted. Along with the tree on the grounds, a brass leaf will also be engraved and placed on the Memorial Tree inside of the main entryway. This is a great way to honor others who have been important to you.
