Who We Are
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Vision
What we’re about and where we’re going!
// Our Vision
To see disciples made by establishing reproducing lifegroups throughout greater Nashville.
// Our Values
Word
We believe Scripture is not only relevant today, but that it is the fully inspired Word of God – God’s revelation of Himself to mankind. Therefore, teaching from the Bible holds a primary role in our services.
Spirit
The Holy Spirit is God’s presence within and amongst us. Early church life enjoyed both rich theology as well as God’s demonstrated power. We eagerly desire the presence of God and all He has for us.
Mission
We love our city and we desire to humbly serve it and contribute to its success. We eagerly seek to demonstrate God’s love in tangible ways and to invite our city to follow Jesus.
Family
The primary biblical image for God is “Father” and the church is His “family.” The New Testament portrays the church as a warm, rich, life-giving, and selfless community.
Leadership
Elders, staff, and other awesome people that make it all happen!

// Our Beliefs
As a community, our members generally agree with the beliefs below as those that capture the basic tenets of Christian theology. For a more detailed look at our beliefs, click here, or better yet, come and get to know us!
The Trinity
We believe in one God–infinite, eternal, all-powerful, holy, loving, and faithful–who exists together in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
God the Father
God the Father is the sovereign creator and ruler of heaven and earth, which He created and sustains.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the virgin Mary, and is both fully God and fully man. He died as a penalty for our sin, rose to life from the grave, and ascended into heaven.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the third member of the Trinity and comes to reveal the Father and the Son to the world. The Spirit helps us in many ways: understanding God’s word, giving gifts to build up the church family, and enabling us to become more like Jesus.
The Bible
The Bible is the fully inspired Word of God and our only authoritative guide for faith and life.
Humanity
As God’s creation, we are designed to have companionship with him. Sin in our lives separates us from God, and the only way we can find our way back to Him is with His help.
The Gospel
The gospel is the magnificent news that God made a way for us to be with Him. God saves us by His grace alone when we put our trust in Jesus’ perfect life and sacrifice for our sins. This good news teaches us to rest in God’s love because our good works can never earn it.
The Church
The church is not a religious institution, denomination, or building. Rather, the church consists of all those who have become genuine followers of Jesus. The church exists both universally and as local communities for making the news of Jesus known to the world.
The Future
Those who have experienced the saving grace of God have a secure future and hope. They will live forever with God in a place redeemed from the curse of sin. No more sickness. No more tears.
