 Main Street Crossing in Tomball is more than a coffee shop, bar or a place to hear live entertainment on a weekend night. The roots of Main Street Crossing happened back in 2002 when a group of people came along who felt a lot of people were missing out on getting to know God because they were not comfortable le setting foot in a church. They built Main Street Crossing and opened it as a community hangout offering food, drink, (including beer and wine), specialty coffee, tournament poker, live music, wireless Internet etc.
There are three different churches that use Main Street Crossing as their place of worship on Sundays. The Journey meets at 10:00 AM. The Journey's goal is to connect life to God. Well Spring meets at 4:00 PM. Well Spring is a place to talk things through, seek and ask questions; all in a safe environment. Sondays meets at 6:30. Sondays is all about un-organizing religion. Sondays is a safe haven for people of all walks of life to get together and share stories and build new relationships. Each Sunday they watch a film that shares the topic for the evening and then they discuss that topic.
From the outside Main Street looks like a business in a beautiful setting but it is also an organization that benefits the community. According to the owners they take a loss each year but they seem okay with that. This came straight from their website, so obviously this is not a big concern to them. Main Street is there for the benefit of the community; a safe haven where people can meet from all walks of life. This could be someone wo is experiencing misfortunes in life, maybe someone looking for answers, or it could be someone just looking for a good time in a clean fun atmosphere.
 According to their website they can also be used for private parties such as meeting for corporations, baby showers, special celebrations or even weddings. Friday night's live music is featured. At 8:00 they showcase local Tomball talent, anything from rock to jazz to blues. Occasionally they might also have a special well known band playing there on a Saturday night. Watch their reader board on either side of the building for infor mation on that.
Their week day hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. You can drop in for breakfast, lunch, or a great tasting cup of coffee. Monday, Thursday, and Friday nights is time for Texas Hold Em Poker Tournaments at 6:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. This is free so anyone who wants to can participate.
Main Street Crossing is built on the original site of a historic landmark, the Brautigam's IGA which was estblished in 1919. It looks to me as though the founders of Main Street Crossing kept the IGA design in mind when they desinged Main Stree Crossing. |
