Our Ministries
BUILDING COMMUNITY
We believe true fellowship and community happens outside of Sunday mornings and it is vital for spiritual growth. Consider joining one of our several ministry groups in order to stay connected beyond Sunday!
HeartLine Ministries
Pastor Timothy Golden (Life On Main) and Pastor Harold Noyes (Community Christian Church, Athens, VT) have entered into a partnership to reach communities with the good news of the gospel. They host a one-hour televised Bible study, known as HEARTLINE MINISTRIES. It airs throughout Vermont and some border towns in New Hampshire on various television stations.
Thanks to the internet, the program is now extending beyond the limits of local community television. It can now be watched via Facebook, YouTube, and Rumble on Heartline Ministries social media pages.
We are also available via podcast on anchor.fm where you can listen directly. You can also get the program on most other popular podcast providers including ITunes, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts, Spotify, IHeart Radio, and others. You can also access podcasts right here on our web site.
You can learn more about HeartLine and watch the broadcasts by choosing the "HeartLine Ministries" link under the "Watch" tab at the top of this page. Be sure to tell others about this ministry and help us expand the reach of the gospel!
Missions Ministry
Jesus told the disciples to be 'fishers of men' and that is our mission as well. As we have freely received, so we are to freely give that which God has given to us.
The Church has been called of Christ to be His witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth. So are we also called to testify of Him locally, regionally, nationally and globally. Life On Main is active in missions, whether it is to go, give or pray. We support missions with our time, talent and treasury in many ways...
Locally - through community outreaches and The Fall Mountain and Charlestown Food Shelves
Regionally - through Greater Things Ministries and Remix.
Nationally - through short-term missions trips and disaster relief.
Globally - through Foursquare Missions International , Greater Things Ministries, and Operation Christmas Child.
Living Stone School of Ministry
Living Stones School of Ministry is an independent school associated with The international School of Ministry (ISOM) which has more than 20,000 training sites in 150 nations. This is a primarily church-based video Bible school covering Associates, Bachelors and Masters level training. This is a complete training curriculum, designed to equip the Body of Christ to do the work of the ministry, as instructed in Ephesians 4.
We respect pastoral leadership and authority. The video curriculum is taught by well-known teachers, such as Jack Hayford, Reinhard Bonnke, Joyce Meyer, John Bevere and 26 others that impart life messages, each in their areas of expertise. These teachers teach balanced messages where knowledge, character, and spiritual gifts are equally taught. It is a curriculum that is interdenominational in scope and pentecostal in theology.
We welcome individuals and other churches to participate in the program as they deem appropriate. We seek to respect theological differences as they arise, although unified on the foundation of Jesus Christ.
L.I.F.E. Groups & Outlet Groups
Finding a home group is a cornerstone to any believer's walk with Christ. It gives you an opportunity
to experience true fellowship and genuine connection to others who are on the same spiritual journey
as you. Our L.I.F.E. groups help you establish and build friendships in a Christ-centered environment.
Do you have a passion and willingness to draw closer to God ? If you said yes, then an outlet group might be a perfect fit for you. Slightly smaller than L.I.F.E. groups, outlet groups are 2-4 person groups that develop a regular time of Bible reading and devotions and learn to apply the Word together.
Both L.I.F.E. Groups and Outlet Groups provide loving encouragement and accountability in our Christian walk, as well as a safe place to grow in our spiritual giftings as we learn to utilize them effectively and redemptively.
Contact the church office for a list of locations of groups.
Children's Ministry
Kids are not just the church of tomorrow; They are the church today. Nearly 80% of people in our churches today decided to follow Jesus before age 18. 50% of them decided to follow Jesus before age 12. Investing in our kids' eternity is vitally important to them, their families, and the kingdom of God. LifeKids gives children consistent opportunities to hear the message of the Bible in a way crafted just for them. Just as great schoolteachers present the essentials in an age-appropriate manner, LifeKids places the life-changing message of Jesus in a context designed specifically for them.
We take ministry to children very seriously and have been working diligently to create a safe and nurturing environment for children to build a relationship with God. All of our teachers and helpers have undergone quality training to facilitate a quality atmosphere, as well as a safe and secure environment.
