Reformed, expository, gospel-centered churches — because Nashville needs the Word of God.
Nashville, Tennessee has become one of the most significant refugee resettlement cities in the United States. Kurdish, Somali, Sudanese, Congolese, and Burmese refugee communities have all established significant presences in Nashville over the past two decades. The Kurdish Muslim community, in particular, is one of the largest outside the Middle East.
Nashville is known as the 'buckle of the Bible belt,' but the rapid growth of refugee and immigrant Muslim communities is transforming the city's spiritual landscape. Bible-preaching churches in Nashville — historically some of the strongest in the South — must now rise to the challenge of global missions on their own doorstep.

Nashville's Kurdish, Somali, and Sudanese Muslim neighbors are among the most spiritually significant mission fields in Middle Tennessee. Many refugee families in Nashville are hearing the name of Jesus for the first time. Nashville churches are uniquely positioned to show the love of Christ through practical help and gospel proclamation — the two working hand in hand.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek." — Romans 1:16
