About the Provider

Description: We who are in covenant agreement as members of the Main Street Baptist Church exist in time and therefore will never come to know personally the historical man Jesus. However, we can come to understand the meaning of His life as a historical person and come to embrace a faith in the Resurrected Christ. It is in this event of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ that we find our purpose, that is to say, we exist to perpetuate the identity of the historical Jesus, especially in the event of the resurrection. We shall fulfill our purpose through nurturing the believers, providing worship opportunities regularly. We shall make for evangelistic opportunities, mission reliefs to persons in need without resources. We shall make opportunities for discipling believers, providing for Christian Education events among the church fellowship and without. Finally, we shall provide opportunities giving Christian Witness in areas of social concern, all for the Glory of God.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

While the staff is very friendly and is what ultimately helped lead me to feeling comfortable with putting my child in their daycare, I am not happy with what occurred while my child was there. The door was locked, yet as parents leave, there is nobody watching to see who is coming in. I was assured healthy foods were being served, yet my son had muffins and tater tots for breakfast and cookies for a snack. Two naps throughout the day for a 5 year old (is not needed). One story time and then TV (CARTOON NETWORK), both before and after lunch. This occurred multiple days on a row. Needless to say we were very I dissatisfied with how things were run. I was told that there are classrooms where they break off to throughout the day, but never observed them. The one day I got a glimpse, from what I could see, it looked like a pantry. I wish I had done more research and asked for a thorough tour prior to allowing my son to go there. Once again, the staff seemed friendly, but the way things are run are not up to par to make me feel like having my child there is beneficial for growth mentally or physically or even completely safe.
