The Village & Missional Partners
Church of the City desires to see our city flourish by serving the needs that we see are immediate in our area. We believe that God is opening doors for us to plant a ministry center called, “The Village,” right on our Franklin property where we will be able to meet the needs of those that are the most vulnerable.
Our Missional Partners are trusted organizations that we work with to support and strengthen with spiritual, social, and/or cultural renewal.

Serving Opportunities
WRAP Teams
WRAP Teams at Church of the City support the current foster and adoptive families within our community by providing for the physical needs of the family. This is done through laundry support, errand/grocery shopping, lawn care, and relief care. Serving these needs allow our families more time to tend to the important work of foster care.
My Friend’s House
My Friend’s House is a comprehensive residential treatment program and group home serving boys 12-18 from Williamson County and Middle TN. One of our most popular year-round volunteer activities is called Chef for a Night, where individuals or groups sign up to bring a meal or cook a meal with residents. This is a great time to spend at My Friend’s House getting to know our residents and learning more about life at the house, and volunteers provide positive adult interactions for our youth and are an important component of our program.
