Welcome to the Family Ministry

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. The goal 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.

Dolores Rader, Minister to Families, and the Family Ministry Team 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.


Celebrating and navigating Mondays through Sundays from week one to week 936 toward authentic and lasting faith in Christ.

Empowered for the Next Day

As we approach the end of another academic year, our hearts are filled with both pride and a touch of sadness as we prepare to recognize our graduating high school seniors. As a church, we have had the privilege of witnessing their growth, both spiritually and personally, throughout their lives. We have seen God's handiwork, guiding and shaping them into the confident and capable individuals they are today.
