Groups are made up of around 10-15 people meeting weekly in homes around Nashville to be together, talk through scripture, and share life. They are open to anyone–friends, neighbors, or coworkers–whether you’re brand new or have been around for a while. Each group spends time catching up, reading a Bible passage, and having honest conversations about how it applies to everyday life. It’s a laid-back, welcoming space where we can show up as we are and become more like Jesus through relationships centered around his word.

At Midtown, we don’t have Sunday School or lectures. We focus on Groups, a place where we can form deep, gospel-centered relationships. This is the primary way that we encourage each other in our faith and our relationship with Jesus. Through each other, God shows us more of himself and starts to make us more like him. And it all starts by showing up.

Our group leaders are just people, like you. They have regular jobs, live in the neighborhood, and are part of your church community. They are not Bible scholars or theology professors, but they have been trained to lead Groups that are honest, welcoming, and gospel-centered. Leaders are called to serve Midtown by opening up their homes and giving their time to Groups each week. Leaders have said yes to following Jesus in their own lives and letting their obedience to Jesus shape those around them in the process.
