Approximately 75% of Nashville is not currently involved in any local church, despite being in the Bible belt. While church attendance does not indicate the condition of a person’s soul, it can help us gauge the percentage of people who likely do not have a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.

If 75% is close to accurate (and we believe it is), then 1.35 million people in the greater Nashville area likely do not have a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.

We desire to see new churches planted throughout every community in Nashville. And we long to see struggling churches renewed, revitalized, and replanted in our city. Jesus was clear that He would build his church and the gates of hell would not overcome it. God is at work in Nashville, and we want to join him on his mission to make Jesus known to every man, woman, and child.
