20/20 Missions
Our goal is to share the gospel and encourage the hearts of the saints!
Philemon 4-7


How do we do this?
As a church we have committed to starting 20 churches in 20 years. The resources, people, finances, effort, and commitment that this requires is beyond words. As a team, we would like to support this goal of starting 20 churches. With each month this support looks different. For some churches we will partner with them to put on big outreaches for their community, for others we may clean their church, and for some it requires nothing more then spending time loving and encouraging their people. We are available for God to use us however He chooses. Creative ways you can be involved with your every-day life. We would love to hear if you are going on a mission trip, vacation, or even a business trip. These are great opportunities for us to encourage, support, and partner with you to send missionary efforts with you on your trip. How do we do that you ask. Well, first we would like to pray for you. Maybe there is financial support we can give to missionary trips. Possibly we know of a church in the area you are visiting that needs resources or encouragement that you can bring them. You might be visiting unsaved family members that we can send great tools to help you share the gospel while you are with them. The idea behind this is to utilize where God is already sending people and pursue missions in those locations. Contact us today to share where God is sending you!

2008 Missions
“I always thank my God, as I remember you in my prayers, because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints. I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints” Philemon 4-7

Here are some of the ways we live out our purpose of missions.
“Last Wednesday”- The Last Wednesday of the month is meant to expose our people to people living as missionaries (either in their Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria or the ends of the earth) and the lives that have been changed because of the work they are doing. The evenings will always begin with worship and the symbol of changed lives, which is baptism.

Acts 1:8 Challenge-
This is a basic class that lays the groundwork for what it means to live our lives as missionaries. It is a 6-week class that will be offered a few times a year
20/20 Missions team- With a desire to share the Gospel and encourage the hearts of the saints; one of the ways we do this is by supporting the new churches of Main Place, this team will actively minister to/with a Main Place church plant once a month.
Outreach/Events- Outreaches/events that include all of The Main Place family. These events/outreaches are centered on ministering to our community, our church plants, or our own body. For example: Blood drive, Welcome to the Neighborhood, Compassion Weekend, Family Ministry in Mexico.

Distance/International missions-Regularly planning ministry to be done outside of our local body…for example, ministering in Louisiana and Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina/Rita or assisting churches in India
