We are a family

​practicing the grace and wisdom of Jesus Christ.

We joyfully minister to the spiritual, emotional and physical needs ​of life-seeking people. We celebrate the rich diversity of our ​members, ​and we gladly invite others to join us in service to Christ.​

Family.  Community.  Home. 
​These are the words we use most often to describe West Main.

​We are people bound together by the love of God in Jesus Christ and our love for one another.  Life here on the corner of West Main and Lockett Streets is sometimes difficult, sometimes beautiful, but whatever comes, we walk through it together

West Main is a church centered upon the person of Jesus Christ.  Jesus is not only our Savior and Lord, he is our teacher and his life and spirit guide us in everything we do and decide. We seek Jesus together, desiring to grow in our faith, to live our lives well and to reach out in service and love.

​Sunday morning worship is traditional with a twist of the unexpected.  Our Wednesday night meal, "The Emmaus Cafe" is family gathered around the table as we seek Jesus together.  Throughout the year, expect anything from a church-wide picnic on the farm, to a VBS block party, to regular opportunities to serve Jesus by loving our neighbors.  If you're new to our community or are simply searching for a church home, we hope you'll join us!

West Main revised its constitution in 2019.  This document contains our identity & mission, foundational beliefs and church covenant:

At its core, we believe following Jesus means serving others.  Whether it’s teaching Sunday School, rocking babies in the nursery, washing dishes after Wednesday night supper, roofing a Habitat house, volunteering with Big Brothers/Big Sisters, or starting a new business to grow the local economy, we seek to help each individual find meaningful ways to live out their faith by serving others.
