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.

Family Ministry End-of-Year Program

For more than six decades, the music ministry at South Main Baptist Church has invested in the discipleship of our children through the cultivation of their musical talents. This long-standing tradition is showcased in this year’s Family Ministry end-of-year musical program. The program includes the Tribe | Youth, MainKids, and Mini-MainKids choirs along with our handchime and bell choirs and recitations of graded memory verses and the FM Basic Truths.
