Various ministries at Main Street UMC are offered to meet the needs of our congregation and the community.

CARE NETWORK | HISPANIC | MUSIC | SCOUTING | ADULT | CHILDREN

Care Network
At the heart of ministry at Main Street is Care Network, a ministry of members helping members. The purpose of Care Network is to respond to the hopes, hurts and needs of people in the Main Street Community. Care Network thrives because volunteers desire to serve God in one or more of the following areas:

Sickness Support
These volunteers call and/or visit persons who are ill at home or who have recently returned home from various hospitals.

Homebound Visitation
These volunteers make monthly visits to older adults who are homebound or in a residential care facility. They also make telephone contacts when needed, showing that Main Street continues to care for them. Cassette tapes of weekly worship services are also available on request.

The Shepherding Group
These persons reach out, by communicating the church's care and concern, to church members who have become irregular in attendance, or have begun a pattern of inactivity in church attendance, through brief phone calls, cards or visits.

Prayer Chain
A life of prayer is essential to the faith of a church. Three Prayer Chains are currently operative at Main Street Church, with committed persons praying regularly for the concerns of others in our midst. All prayer requests are kept confidential.

Newborn Support
This group works with families, providing cards, flowers, packets, and support for "New Family Members."

Scouting Ministry
Scouting has been a part of Main Street's outreach ministry for nearly 80 years. Hundreds of girls and boys attend weekly and monthly meetings of Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, and Boy Scouts.

Many of the adults in these groups are Scout award-winning leaders who have been trained through the Old Hickory Boy Scout Council or the Tarheel Triad Girl Scout Council.
