Since being in Bethesda, Tim has served locally with the Cub Scout & Boy Scouts programs, the youth baseball program, B-B-M Rotary and served on Bethesda's Village Council for several years. He feels it is important to be part of the community to get to know people and have a chance to minister to the community families, not as a preacher standing aloof at his building, but as one of the people.
Tim has some strong views on the Church. He sees that churches today appear to be weak due to many reasons. Some of these might include: no real awareness of a relationship with the Lord, a lack of Bible study, a lack of personal involvement, a compromise with the world & worldly attitudes and a general hardening of people's hearts.
As God's people will spend quality time with Him in prayer and in His Word, as they get serious about living out their faith and get involved in real ministry in their churches, God will be able to do a great work of faith in them and their lives, their families, their churches and their communities!
We here at South Main are certainly not perfect or the "ideal" church, but we are trying to restore the church to the pattern set forth in the New Testament. Jesus said He would build His Church. It's His and we have no right to change it, whether the name or the faith and practice or doctrine or organization or mission. We believe Jesus to be the Christ, God incarnate, the Bible to be God's inerrant Word. We believe that Jesus is the only hope for the salvation of mankind and that Jesus will one day soon return for His Bride, the Church.
