About Church of the City

Church of the City exists to see the fame and deeds of God renewed and known in our time. With a mission to practice the way of Jesus, the church is dedicated to experiencing the presence of God, fostering spiritual growth, uniting across divisions, and contributing to the flourishing of the city. Church of the City is not just a place for worship—it is a community driven by a profound desire to reflect Jesus’ love to the world.

A Church with a Story

Founded on Easter Sunday in 2013, Church of the City launched with services in both Franklin and East Nashville, symbolizing its commitment to a multi-campus model from day one. Over the past decade, the church has experienced remarkable growth, with thousands gathering across its campuses in Middle Tennessee. Each chapter of its journey reflects an “only God” story, where impossible dreams have turned into realities, from merging congregations to eliminating debt and expanding ministry impact.

A Heart for Worship

At the core of Church of the City’s identity is a passion for worship. The worship team strives to lead with authenticity and intentionality, creating moments where people can encounter the presence of God. Whether it’s in Sunday services, student ministries, or kids’ worship, the team emphasizes servanthood over platform and faithfulness over complacency. Their commitment to honor over excellence ensures that every worship experience is deeply rooted in glorifying God.

Ministry Beyond the Stage

Church of the City’s worship ministry extends far beyond Sunday services. The team actively supports worship environments across various ministries, including kids, students, college, and women’s gatherings. By valuing every environment equally, the church ensures that no space is overlooked and that each opportunity to lead worship is approached with the same level of care and purpose. This intentionality creates a ripple effect, inspiring people of all ages to grow in their faith.

A Culture of Community

Church of the City thrives on relationships and a spirit of unity. The church was built on the collective effort of volunteers, with everyone playing a part in its early days, from setting up chairs to driving trailers. Today, this ethos of collaboration continues, fostering a culture where people are known, loved, and encouraged to grow in their faith. The church believes in the transformative power of community, offering a place where people can walk through life together, whether in joy or sorrow.

Looking Ahead

As Church of the City looks to the future, its commitment to the vision of seeing God’s fame and deeds renewed remains unwavering. From fostering young leaders to expanding its outreach, the church seeks to be a catalyst for transformation in Middle Tennessee and beyond. With faith and anticipation, Church of the City is ready to embrace the next chapter of its story, trusting God to continue writing a narrative that only He can author.
