Who we Are

Napier Kitchen Table is a cross-cultural church family in the Napier neighborhood of South Nashville. We are building a beautiful community through authentic relationships and daily ministry.

Our Vision

We’re a church where the transformative love of God makes strangers into neighbors and neighbors into family.

The kitchen table reflects the church—God's family—where we find unity in our shared need for Jesus and our worth as his image-bearers.

We do this by addressing:

Physical
needs

Caring for one another's basic needs like produce or housing with dignity.

Emotional
needs

Weekly therapy and ongoing individual pastoral care meetings.

Spiritual
needs

Sunday meals, worship services, and weekly discipleship.

Social
needs

Groups for women, men, and youth, and community events.

What we do

As a part of Midtown, Napier Kitchen Table is on the move to see Jesus transform lives.

Have Questions?

We're here to help.

Why is the name different?

Dropdown icon

This work began in 2017 when pastor Jonathan Nash and his family moved into Napier to build relationships and do ministry alongside their neighbors. Because much of it happened around the table with food, it became known as "Napier Kitchen Table."

Why a church in Napier?

Dropdown icon

Midtown Fellowship’s mission is gospel transformation through multiple congregations. As we worked with our neighbors over the years, we discovered a need for the right kind of church community in Napier. The Napier community hasn’t had a new church in 25 years and less than 5% of the people in the community attend church.

Is it a congregation or a ministry?

Dropdown icon

Both! Napier Kitchen Table worships together each Sunday at 155 Lafayette St., and NKT also serves its community through a variety of daily ministries programs throughout the week.

What are the programs that NKT provides to the community?

Dropdown icon
  • Affordable produce via seasonal mobile food pantry
  • Trauma counseling
  • Youth group, teen entrepreneurship and culinary school
  • Elementary literacy support
  • Men’s recovery
