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.
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.
