Welcome! Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time, new to the area, or searching for a community to grow in your journey with God, we’re so glad you’re here.
At the East Main Church of Christ, we’re all about growing in Christ, sharing love with one another, and serving others—because we believe these are the heart of a believer’s journey.
We get that visiting somewhere new can feel a little overwhelming. Just give us a heads-up that you’re coming, and if you have any questions before your visit, we’re more than happy to help!
East Main has been truly blessed with incredible, humble servants of Christ who dedicated themselves to faithfully serving the church. We can’t wait for you to meet them and see their love in action!
In accordance with Ephesians 4:12-13, the leadership within our church is here to guide and support believers in their journey of faith, service to others, and the collective growth of the body of Christ. Our aspiration is that every member of the East Main family will mature in Christ, demonstrate Christ’s love toward others, and serve both the church and the broader community. It is our prayer that each of us will wholeheartedly pursue these endeavors for God’s glory.
As a church, we unite to provide opportunities that aid us in achieving these goals as followers of Christ. Inspired by the example and teachings of Jesus, we believe God instructs us in spiritual growth and healthy, faith-filled living. Therefore, we offer this guide to discipleship—a simple, intentional resource to help you strengthen your faith and relationship with Jesus. This guide emphasizes practices that foster growth in Christ, love for others, and service that glorifies God and fulfills His calling for the church.
In 2 Timothy 3:16-17, the Apostle Paul emphasizes the profound value of God’s Word in our spiritual growth—it guides, equips, and matures us in faith.
Make prayer a daily habit. Consider the immense blessing it is that the God of all Creation desires to hear from us. Talk to Him. Have a relationship.
Worship offers several meaningful benefits that can deeply enrich your spiritual life:
Classes give you the opportunity to share in an interactive study alongside others fosters relationships, support, and camaraderie as you work together to understand God’s Word.
While there are the usual classes for kids up to the college age, there are special midweek classes for adult men and women. These are a great time for discussing practical ways to live out the teachings of the Bible. Hearing how others are impacted by Scripture can be inspiring and motivating, creating an atmosphere of mutual support.
The wonderful thing about being with other Christians is that we’re all on a shared journey! Through classes, ministries, fellowship events, and service opportunities, you have amazing chances to form lasting, meaningful friendships that can impact eternity.
Friends are wonderful, but we all need fellow Christians who can actively guide us toward Jesus on our journey. Bible classes, shepherds, ministries, and events are fantastic ways to build these meaningful, faith-filled connections.
Each week, there are members of our church family who could use a little extra care. You can find their names in the bulletin and on the Barnabas List. Take a moment to send a card, make a call, or pay them a visit to remind them just how loved they are!
Having a mentor is amazing, but have you thought about who you’re mentoring? Keep an eye out for new Christians, someone going through a tough time, or anyone who could use a little support to grow in their faith.
Join one of our classes and get involved in a ministry—it’s a great way to connect and serve alongside others!
At work, at school, at play…have meaningful conversations with others. Steer the conversations to matters of eternal importance. Be a good example and influence others toward Christ.
Need help doing these things? Check our Resources—particularly House to House, Heart to Heart—or ask an elder how to get more involved in personal evangelism ministries.
God’s church thrives when we come together to serve one another and our community! Your help can make a real difference, and there are always plenty of opportunities to get involved. Whether it’s lending a helping hand, sharing your talents, or simply offering your time, we’d love for you to be part of serving in meaningful and impactful ways!
God commands us to give of our means each week (1 Corinthians 16:1-2), but there are plenty of other ways to give as well. Each year, there are special opportunities to give for projects/ministries, disaster relief, or even privately just to assist a brother in need.
East Main has several outreach ministries. Ask an elder how you can get more involved!
