You’re Invited: Lunch & Learn on Starting and Strengthening ESL Ministries

Date: February 19, 2026
Time: 12:00 – 1:30 pm
Location: Nashville Baptist Association

Join us for a Lunch & Learn focused on helping churches start and grow English as a Second Language (ESL) ministries that serve immigrant and international communities across Middle Tennessee. ESL ministries have become one of the most effective bridges for gospel-centered relationships, practical support, and community connection.

This gathering will offer practical guidance on:

• How to start an ESL class or center
• Training volunteers and selecting curriculum
• Learning from existing ESL ministries at area churches
• Next steps and partnership opportunities

Hear from local ministry leaders and churches that have successfully launched ESL classes and centers and are actively serving their communities.

Featured Speakers:

• Beth Moore, Tennessee Baptist Mission Board
• Matt Grey, Antioch First Baptist
• Ziero Solano, First Baptist Church Mt. Juliet

You’ll also hear firsthand stories from area churches that have successfully launched ESL classes and centers, learning what’s working, what they wish they’d known earlier, and how collaboration across churches is making a greater impact.

Lunch will be provided — register today to reserve your spot!
