Kids Ministry Training Lunch
Join us TODAY after service for Age Well, a special luncheon designed to encourage and equip our church family as we launch two new ministries serving adults 65+.
We’ll be joined by AgeWell Middle Tennessee, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting older adults and family caregivers. They’ll share practical guidance and encouragement for anyone walking the caregiving journey—whether that looks like scheduling appointments, running errands, cooking meals, or simply being present with a loved one. All attendees will receive a free resource book.
During our time together, you’ll also hear about two new ministries launching this fall:
1. Respite Care for Caregivers Ministry – support for those providing ongoing care to loved ones.
2.Elder Care Ministry – a team offering practical help (like errands and household tasks) as well as a visiting team that provides companionship and encouragement.
This event is for older adults, family caregivers, and anyone interested in serving in these new ministries. Whether you are seeking support or looking for a meaningful way to give back, this gathering is for you!
Are you a current Kids Ministry leader or want to learn more about serving in Kids Ministry? This training and FREE LUNCH is for you!
Join Kids Directors Katie and Taylor on Sunday, September 28 after the service for a free lunch followed by a time of teaching and training. This is a chance to express our gratitude for how you love and serve our church family while providing clarity and best practices for the season ahead!
During the meeting portion, there will be childcare available. Please register at the link below so that we can have accurate headcounts for food and childcare.

Fall is upon us, and we can’t wait to host Trunk-or-Treat again this year on Saturday, October 25! This event brings joy to our entire community by providing a safe and fun way for children to dress up, enjoy collecting candy, and make memories with their families… but, we need your help!
If you are interested in serving, we have several different opportunities available:
Decorating/hosting a trunk
Set up/tear down
Bounce house monitoring
Popcorn making
Giving out temporary tattoos
Face drawing (crayons)
.... and more!
*** We are also collecting candy in the Serve Center now until Sunday, October 19. Please consider picking up an extra bag or two at the grocery store to donate as you are able. ***
Have you always wanted to sing with the Christ Church Choir? Now's the time to join!
We’d love to have you rehearse with us this week to sing with us on Sunday mornings and in our upcoming Christmas Concert on Saturday, December 13! No experience needed, just a heart to worship! Rehearsals are open to all and held in the Choir Room behind the Sanctuary every Thursday from 6:15-8:30pm.
Have you joined a Life Group?
Life Groups help our Christ Church family connect in real relationships, real community, and grow in true discipleship beyond what happens in our worship service and building on a Sunday morning. Many different groups gather all throughout the week in homes all around the Middle TN area, with some happening right here on our church campus!

If you have any questions, please stop by one of our Connect areas or choose "Let Us Help You Find A Group" on the page below!
Join us Friday evenings for Celebrate Recovery, a Christ-centered 12-step program for all hurts, hang-ups, and habits.
The evening begins with coffee and fellowship and slows to a Large Group meeting with worship, prayer, a reading of the steps or recovery principles, and a biblically based teaching or testimony. We share our experiences, strength, and hope in an open share fashion. Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to find community and freedom from issues that take control of our lives.
It's not too late to join one of our Fall Recovery Groups!
Recovery Groups offer a safe and welcoming space for anyone navigating difficult seasons of life—whether it’s challenges in marriage, addiction, substance abuse, divorce, loss, significant life changes, or mental health struggles. These groups provide understanding, support, and practical tools to help you find hope and healing. You are not alone! Click below for more information and sign up to join a group.

Invitation to Deeper Covenant Commitment
As Christ Church Nashville, we are a people on mission to bring hope and wholeness through Christ, and this covenant is a meaningful way to align ourselves with that mission and our shared core values—God’s Word, Worship, Prayer, Community, Diversity, and Generosity.
If you are a member of our Christ Church family or would like to become one, we invite you to review and sign the Membership Covenant through the link below. This covenant serves as a declaration of your commitment to growing in your relationship with the Lord, uniting with our church family in our shared mission and core values, and actively participating in Christ-centered community and faithful service—all as a vital part of what God is doing in and through Christ Church Nashville for such a time as this.
Our mission is simple: to bring hope and wholeness through Christ. Invite someone you know to join what God is doing in and through Christ Church Nashville!
Who around you needs the hope and wholeness only Christ can bring? Or, who around you may know Christ but need a church family to walk alongside them through all the twists and turns of life?
Our “I’m Inviting You” cards—available at multiple stations around campus—make it easy to share that hope and invite others to be part of our church family. Whether it’s a friend, family member, coworker, or even a stranger—pray about who God is calling you to invite. Take a card (or a few!) with you as you leave today and extend the invitation. A simple act of faith could lead someone to experience the fullness of life in Him.
Who will you invite?
Do you know how the Holy Spirit has gifted you to help motivate and minister to those around you?
Christianity is not a spectator sport. Christians are not called to watch, but to participate in Jesus’ way of life. Every follower of Christ is meant to be equipped, edified, and empowered with a spiritual gift needed by the rest of us.
