Think Biblically
Develop a theologically-informed imagination regarding all aspects of life, with a special emphasis on the place we spend most of our time—the workplace.
Practice the Way of Jesus
Among a community of cross-vocational peers, implement daily practices and spiritual rhythms that align your whole life to be purposed for others, driven by the love of Jesus.
Renew Work and Culture
Love your work back to what it was intended to be: an act of glorious worship.
It’s a lot of fun. Trust us.
This year’s Main Street Fellowship is our first For The City edition, where FPC moves beyond the church walls and sets up in Bitty & Beau’s Coffee Shop in Rice Village.
Beginning Sept 16 until mid-May 2025, we will meet every Monday from 6:30–8 AM for hands-on teaching and community learning experiences, diving headfirst into applicable, Gospel-rich course content:
The Story: The Gospel and Other Tales
The Characters: God and Us
The Call: Vocational Work
The Acts: The Gospel and Houston
The End: Liturgies that Point to Glory
We retreat overnight in the hill country of Texas to go deep on content and community formation.

Leading from Your Core
These retreats provide meaningful opportunities to get away from the buzz of the busy city, invest in community, and worship God together.
We also spend time discussing the most important concepts in the course, which provide the paradigms that lead to our personal and group transformation over the 9-month program.
*Attending these retreats is a requirement.
In addition to daily devotional content designed to shape and re-shape your heart and prayer life, we also assign practical projects which integrate our weekly course content and communal discussions. These projects include:
The Biblical Narrative Project
The Self-Counseling Project
The Work-Site Visit Project
The Cultural Renewal Project
These projects are designed to help apply and “make-practical” the course content and material so you can instantiate the needed rhythms of change and formation required in your life.
