FAQ | Midtown Fellowship

Midtown beliefs

I’m curious to learn more about God. Where do I start?

At Midtown, our beliefs are based on the Bible, and there are copies available at each of our congregations. Each Sunday, we study a different part of this scripture, so visiting a worship service is a great place to start. At our services and various events, our staff can help you get connected to the right person for any questions that you might have. Our Groups ministry is designed to help you regularly learn more about God alongside others at Midtown.

Where can I find more information about what Midtown believes?

We recommend starting here, where you can find out more about our statement of faith, our denomination, and our church governance. If you want to hear more details, our “Explore Midtown” class is open twice a year.

Why does Midtown have multiple congregations? Is there a difference between the congregations?

Because Midtown Fellowship desires to see lives changed by the good news of Jesus in all areas of Nashville, we decided to move away from a single large gathering to many smaller venues in different parts of the city. We believe that this allows us to be more effective in loving the people who live in and around these neighborhoods.

As one church, all of the Midtown congregations have certain things in common: a central staff serving all locations, the same sermon series preached at once, a single youth ministry for all students, and the same beliefs, which are rooted in the gospel. At the same time, each congregation is unique, with staff dedicated to their specific location and a distinct Sunday morning atmosphere. At the end of the day, our DNA is the same, but no two Midtown communities look exactly alike!

What kind of music do you sing at Midtown?

At Midtown, we believe deeply in the power of singing and the proclaimed Word of God. On any given Sunday, you might hear an old hymn, new contemporary worship songs, an ancient prayer, and more. To learn more about Sundays at Midtown, click here.

I want to get married at Midtown or by a Midtown pastor, but I don’t go to Midtown.

We just got engaged and want to do pre-marital counseling at Midtown, but we’re getting married by someone else. How do I get that set up?

At Midtown, we handle this all through the request form on our Weddings page linked here. We try to help regular attenders and members as much as possible, but we cannot promise this to everyone due to limited availability.

I am (or my child is) moving to Nashville soon, and we need help with housing while I am getting started early in my career.

Sorry, we don’t have a hub or system for housing options at Midtown Fellowship, but we do have a Young Professionals group at Midtown 12 South, which is a great place to meet people around that age. Check out their page to learn more and keep an eye on upcoming events.
