Local Evangelism and Compassion

  • We desire to impact our own local communities, wherever we may live, with special focus on the Madison area of North Nashville. While long-term relationships are essential in bearing witness to the Gospel, God has also used meetings with strangers who "happened to be there" (Acts 17:17) to present the Gospel.
  • For this reason, we want to train and plan for evangelism that engages people we meet on a daily basis. We also desire to create relationships in our neighborhoods to strengthen Christians in the Gospel and reach the lost. This is a part of loving our neighbor as ourselves. 
  • We consider it a great privilege to come alongside brothers and sisters in established works that are already serving our community. Some of those ministries have included The Nashville Rescue Mission and Cottage Cove Urban Ministries. For further information about service opportunities in conjunction with each of these organizations, please visit their websites or shoot us an email! We would love to get you connected.
