Easter 2023
Our Story

“Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy.” Habakkuk 3:2

We’re a group of people who are deeply moved by God’s fame and deeds more than anything else. Since our earliest days as a church plant in 2013, we’ve worked hard to renew that same awe for Him in others by pursuing Jesus in our public and private lives in a way that highlights His greatness instead of our own. We’re so grateful to have three locations to do this in Downtown Nashville, Franklin, and Spring Hill. But the story is just beginning and has a place for you within it. You’re invited to be a part of the next chapter.

Our Vision
To see the fame and deeds of God renewed and known in our time.
Our Mission
Practicing the Way of Jesus
Our Pursuits
As a church, these are the four ways that we intend to live out our mission.
Presence of God
We pursue the presence of God through individual and communal spiritual practices.
Formation of People
We pursue deep change through transformational discipleship focusing on growth and healing.
Unity of the Church
We pursue the unity of the church family across racial, political, generational and economic divides.
Flourishing of the City
We pursue the spiritual, social and cultural flourishing of our city.

For My Family

Kids & Students

There are a lot of influencers in kids’ lives. But no one is more called to this role than their families. But often, parents and guardians feel hesitant, intimidated, or under-equipped to guide their kids & students spiritually. We partner with families to bring resources, experiences, and encouragement so that this important responsibility can be uncomplicated…and even a little fun. Our KidCity environments are designed to awaken wonder and our leaders are called and committed to helping families teach the truth about God’s love. And City Students provides a place where middle and high school students can grow in their understanding of God’s story and their place within it.
