What is the purpose or mission of South Main Baptist Church?
Our mission is to be a family of grace discovering Jesus Christ and sharing His love with the world.
If I attend South Main this Sunday morning, what should I expect?
When you come to South Main you will receive the warm hospitality of people who love God and each other, and who desire to share that love with you. If you come to our 9:40 Sunday school and Bible study hour, some members of our congregation will help you find an age-appropriate small group for you to share a time of learning about God’s word for us. We have an excellent team of Bible study teachers who are well-prepared each week. We have worship services Sunday mornings at 8:30 and 11:00. We believe God is the audience in worship and the congregation and worship leaders are to direct prayer and praise unto God. Each week our single aim is to facilitate authentic worship of God through Jesus Christ.
Why do people become members of South Main?
First and foremost people encounter God in an authentic way through our worship and fellowship. I know of no other church with as engaging a combination of thoughtful worship and hospitality in fellowship. South Main is an exciting place to be. If you decide to become a covenant part of our fellowship, you are in for the adventure of a lifetime! One of the great privileges in my life is sharing life with people whose lives have been transformed by God’s grace experienced here at South Main.
How can I learn more about South Main?
Feel free to email me at pastorsoffice@smbc.org. But the best way to even know what to ask is to come and visit in person. You can get up-to-the-minute information regarding events both here on the website and by calling 713.529.4167 and speaking to our receptionist.
If I decide to join, how is that done?
At the conclusion of each service I offer a variety of ways to respond and/ or to seek church membership. Any member of our pastoral team will be happy to discuss these with you.
You may also learn more about membership here by attending our new member information class which is offered frequently throughout the year. Email Lynda Stafford at lstafford@smbc.org for more information about the next class and to register.
A parting thought…
Even if I were not the pastor at South Main, my family and I would still be members of the church. We love both the fellowship and the worship we have discovered in the South Main family. I hope you will visit us. If you do, please make a point of letting me know about your experience. I would be glad to speak with you on Sunday, meet with you during the week, or correspond with you via email or snail mail. Until then,
Grace & Peace be yours in abundance!
Steve
