Worship and draw closer to God.

Fellowship with others.

Introducing others to the Gospel.

Bringing People to Christ

Jesus is the only one who gives us a new identity and frees us from condemnation.  We can, therefore, reach out to people - all people - because no one is too dirty to be cleansed by the work of Jesus.  Because we have been impacted by Jesus’ work, we want to see all kinds of people coming to Christ.

Creating Deeper Fellowship

The gospel makes a new community, the church.  With the redemption God offers through Jesus, we all do life together, even though we come from different backgrounds.  Every member of Jesus’ body has individual talents and abilities, and the gospel empowers us to use those in life-giving ways. This involves folks of all ages.

Renewing our COmmunity

Nothing promotes the good of the community like the spread of faith in the gospel.  It renews both individual lives and the life of entire neighborhoods.  Our community is a diverse place racially, culturally, and economically, and the gospel motivates us to help, serve, and love all the people in our area.

WE LOVE KIDS

We're serious about our children's ministry and our youth ministry.  You'll find clean and safe facilities at Main Street, and we'll take great care of your kids!

We want to make a difference.  This is how we're doing it.

Children's Ministry

We love kids, and we're passionate about helping them grow to love God.  Our children’s ministry, which we call Lamplighters, serves toddlers through through 4th graders by teaching Bible stories, creating opportunities for kids to create bonds with one another, and giving them life skills to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.  We also offer an attended nursery during our services.

Youth Ministry

We believe that, in this world, one of the most important things we can do is reach out to our teens and try to equip them to engage this world by living godly lives in the middle of it.  We practice family-based youth ministry, so we intentionally give our teens time with mature Christian adults to help them grow up, get ready for college, and keep their faith. as the get ready to leave home.

SMALL GROUPS

Main Street offers small group bible studies at various times and locations around the communities we serve, known as "Connexus Groups.” Our mission in Connexus Groups is to deepen our understanding and relationship with God through the study of His Word. We are committed to creating a welcoming and supportive environment where members can share their insights, ask questions, and grow in their faith together. By exploring and applying the teachings of the Bible to our daily lives, we aim to encourage each other to live out God's purpose and love in the world. Our goal is to foster a community of believers who are rooted in faith, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and committed to living out the gospel in our families, workplaces, and communities.

We want to make a difference in the world.  Here's how we're doing it.

Our biggest mission effort is Partners 4 Africa.  It's an international community created by Christians in the United States and local congregations in southern Africa to empower those in need by sharing the message of God’s love and providing basic necessities like food, water, clothing and education. Their work continues to expand and has congregations planted in Eswatini, Lesotho, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. Partners 4 Africa initiates good deed projects to share the good news of Christ. Churches in the states and in Africa combine efforts to be Jesus to the sick and lost in southern Africa. We also engage in other mission efforts, both domestically and globally.

Russell and Allison Epperson work with the Central Montana Church of Christ in Lewistown, Montana.  They are reaching out to the community in several different ways and spreading the Gospel in an area where the church is extremely weak.  They have three children, Caden, Brynlee, and Tessa, and we're grateful for their good work!

We also have missionaries imbedded in Brazil through the McKinney family which is a third generation missionary family serving in this part of the world.

Milan Christian Care Center provides a safe harbor in a christian environment for children requiring daycare in our community and has been doing so since 1991.

We believe Scripture is clear about the core ideas of the Christian faith.

Meet the ministers.

Chad Ezelle, preaching minister. Chad, Alesha, and their two boys, Easton and Eli, began working with Main Street in October 2013. Chad graduated from Freed-Hardeman University with a B.S. in Biblical Studies in 2007 and immediately began a life of ministry with the Collierville Church of Christ in Collierville, TN.  After six years there, Chad and his family "came home" (Chad is from Alamo, TN, and Alesha is from Martin, TN).  Chad loves God's Word, helping people, and finding ways to make an impact on the lives of others.

Tim Lunn and Lyle Piercey are also involved as Education and Senior Adult Ministers which strive to establish a sound, structured educational program for all ages and to provide special emphasis for senior adults.
