Why We’re Making This Shift
It’s been a season of grace experienced at Nashville First. We’ve come together to study the Word, sing songs and hymns to the Lord, enjoy The Supper, and reunite as a congregation on mission in the city. By God’s grace, we’ve had testimonies, baptisms, new families joining, and young people taking steps toward Christ. God is moving among us, and we are grateful. Our church has changed and grown — spiritually and numerically — and we are committed to aspiring for more growth with care, clarity, and excellence. This plan is not about becoming a different church. It’s about becoming a stronger, simpler, and more disciple-forming church.
