Heading 3
This team of people are called for such a time as this to help equip all people to find their purpose in serving the Lord
Pastors and Leadership
Our leadership team consists of ordained Free Methodist Elders, and conference ministers. We have extensive experience in both international and local missions and local church ministry.
We look forward to serving and loving those who walk into our doors and to helping those under our leadership to become more like Jesus as we serve in his name.
Main Street Free Methodist Church is part of the North Central Conference of the Free Methodist Church USA, and works cooperatively with the leaders and direction and oversight of the Superintendents and Bishops.
History
Our congregation was one of the first Free Methodist churches which began in an effort to promote freedom for slaves, to stop charging for pews, and to promote freedom for women to also preach the gospel as trained leaders in the church. Our church has been multicultural and multigenerational from the start and continues to gather as such today.
Main Street Free Methodist Church began on the east side of the Fox River, then moved to the west side of downtown on Walnut Street in St. Charles. During that time, we were in two different buildings across from one another, and added a partnership to rent space to Lazarus House homeless shelter Eventually the building was sold to the shelter and the church moved to our current location just west of Randall on Illinois Route 64.
Our current church facility was formerly a bank, and our church body worked together to renovate it for use as our worship space, classrooms, kitchen, and meeting areas.
We have been in our current building for over six years, but our church has existed as a church body and served in the Saint Charles community for 165 years.
