Assessment

First Baptist Snellville has rebranded to 'Church on Main' (churchonmain.net) at 2400 Main St E, Snellville, GA 30078. Brian Boyles has served as Senior Pastor for 8+ years. Note: address in batch file (2300 Scenic Hwy N) may be outdated — current address is 2400 Main St E. The church offers Bible Study, Youth Groups, and Gospel Choir. Name change from traditional 'First Baptist' to modern 'Church on Main' warrants review of theological direction — sometimes rebranding signals a shift toward seeker-sensitive model. Needs doctrinal deep-dive.
