The Pastor Search Committee has partnered with The Center for Healthy Churches to guide Church on Main through a prayerful and congregation-wide transition process. Everyone is encouraged to participate in upcoming Congregational Conversations, scheduled for August 17, September 14, and October 12.

On Sunday, October 12, we will hold our final Unified Worship Service and Congregational Conversation event at Prices Fork Elementary School. 

Here’s what to expect:

• 9:45 AM – Unified Worship Service
  We will gather in the Prices Fork Elementary School Cafeteria for a special time of worship as one church family. Life Groups will not meet that morning.
• 10:30 AM – Boxed Lunch Distribution
  Following the service, we’ll distribute boxed lunches, and everyone will be assigned seating.
• 11:00 AM – Congregational Conversations Begin
  These small group conversations are a key step in our pastor search process. Led by Bill Owen, from the Center for Healthy Churches, this first conversation will allow us to reflect, share, and discuss together about the future of Church on Main.

To help us prepare, we encourage you to register by clicking the button below.
While registration is not required, it will help us gauge how many participants to expect. More importantly, we want as much of our congregation as possible to attend all three conversations—it’s vital that we take this step forward together.

Childcare will be provided for infants through 8th grade. High schoolers are encouraged to participate in the conversation.
