Bible Study

Sunday School at 9:30 a.m. each Sunday morning provides interactive small group Bible study for persons of all ages.  Every week is a complete unit of study, therefore anyone can visit and join our Sunday School ministry on any Sunday.  This is the basic ministry of the church that all members are encouraged to participate in on a weekly basis.  Friendship, Christian growth, and ministry opportunities arise from these groups. To see a list of our Adult Bible study classes, click here.

On Wednesday evenings at 6:15 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall, our Pastor leads a large group Bible study for all adults. 

 

Discipleship

Discipleship Groups are organized for the purpose of intense Bible study, support, discussion, and accountability at various times throughout the week, month and year.  One or more Discipleship Groups always meet on Sunday evenings from 5:30-6:30 p.m.  Discipleship Groups focus on helping adults grow in a specific area of their Christian walk or in an aspect of daily living. Our current class is on Parenting: the Early Years, led by Russel and Jennifer Evans, our Minister of Childhood Education.

 

Music Opportunities

All adults may participate in the Church Choir.  The choir rehearses at 7:15 on Wednesday evenings and leads in worship on Sunday mornings.  Childcare is provided during rehearsals.  See the Music and Worship section for more information about adult music and worship opportunities. 

If you’re over 50, you can also join our Senior Singers. This group rehearses on the 2nd & 4th Tuesdays of each month at 11:00 a.m. in the Choir Room. For more information, contact our Music Ministry office at 281.487.8200, or JaLogan@southmain.org.

 

Women's Ministry

The Women's Ministry begins with a strong Women on Missions organization.  Their monthly meeting focuses on missions at home and around the world.  This group is very active in studying missions, as well as participating in local missions projects.  They normally meet the first Thursday of each month at 10:00 a.m. in the Parlor.  Lunch is served for $3.

Women may also participate in various in-depth Bible study and Discipleship groups which normally meet on Monday evenings or Tuesday mornings. 

Our church also hosts a ladies community Bible Study Fellowship which meets on Tuesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. This free, in-depth Bible study has orientation on the first Tuesday of the month at 6:55 p.m. in the worship center. 

Special times for women include events such as the recent "Stages of our Lives", which featured a catered meal, guest speaker, Jeanette Clift-George of the A.D. Players, and beautifully decorated tables by some of our ladies.

Men's Ministry

Men’s Breakfast: All men of the church are welcome at our Monthly Men's Prayer Breakfast, on the first Sunday of each month (unless it’s a holiday weekend, then it’s the second Sunday) at 7:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall.  Cost for the full breakfast is $2 per person. Breakfast includes homemade pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits & gravy, and of course, plenty of coffee.

Men Work Teams: The men of South Main volunteer their time and skills to help around our church, community, state and world. We have regular work days where men (women are welcome, too!) help with repairs around the church and small construction projects. If you would like to volunteer, contact Brad Williamson, Minister of Education, at bradw@southmain.org or Kelley Trimble, our Executive Administrator, at kelleyt@southmain.org.

Construction Mission Trips: Each year, the men of our church are invited to participate as we share the love of Christ around the world. Recent mission trips include to Lima, Peru, and Bande Aceh, Indonesia. We also share our time and talents in Hurricane Recovery. Following Hurricane Katrina, the men of the church went to Abbeville, LA, to rebuild a church. After Hurricane Rita, we helped in the Port Neches area with putting roofs on homes. Recently following Hurricane Ike, volunteer work crews built numerous fences for single and senior adults in our Pasadena community.

Men’s Recreation: We provide many recreational opportunities through our family life recreation ministry, including annual basketball and softball leagues and church golf tournaments. We also have a monthly men=s game night where men of the church play “42.” This is on the first Thursday of each month at 6:00 p.m.

Men’s Bible or Book Study: On Monday evenings during the school year from 7:00-9:00 p.m., we have a men’s group that meets for additional Bible study, encouragement, and fellowship. This group is currently working through the book, “Your God Is Too Safe,” by Mark Buchanan.
