Welcome to the MainKids Children's Ministry at South Main
Baptist Church. Here we are family and as family we seek
to discover the light of our Risen Lord and share His love
with the world beginning with our very own neighborhood.
Even the smallest family member is appreciated and valued
here, and we have every expectation that we will learn from
them, give to them, and see the glory of God’s love in each
of their precious faces.
Worship, discover, and share is not something we leave to
the adults. Our children and their families are offered
wonderful opportunities to develop spiritually by exploring
and growing in all three areas. Children beginning in kindergarten
are an important and integral piece of our corporate worship
experience with programming specifically targeted to prepare
them in fun and creative ways. Our children’s Sunday School
classes are filled with exciting and energy filled ways to
discover more about Jesus and the way He lived and how He
wants us to live. And every week throughout the school year,
our children, three years old and up, share their time and
gifts through music and missions work helping church family
members, people in need in our neighborhood, and others around
the world.
Please know that at the foundation of all these opportunities
are South Main members who love and cherish children. We
know how important it is for children to feel safe and loved,
and we feel there are few things that shine His light like
the giggle from a child.
