Community Groups Interest Lunch
Ready to take the next step into community? Whether you’re new to the church or looking for a deeper way to connect, we invite you to learn more about Community Groups.
Join us for a Community Group Interest Meeting immediately after service. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, learn how Community Groups work, and discover how you can find a group where you can grow and build relationships.
Can’t make the meeting but are interested in joining a group? Let us know, and we’ll help you take the next step.

Prayer & Praise Evening
As we begin a new ministry year together, join us for an evening of worship, thanksgiving, and prayer. We'll praise God for His faithfulness to our church and pray together for our ministries, leaders, and the year ahead.

Coffee and Dessert with The Grace Institute
Did you know that in many parts of the world, you can become a pastor with no formal training or Biblical education, only the ability to read and have a Bible?
The Sixty & More Steering Committee would like to invite the entire church family to dessert and coffee on August 20th at 6:30 PM in the Harpeth House to hear from Will Savell, Founder and President of The Grace Institute.
In partnership with organizations like Third Millennium Ministries, Will and his wife, Elaine, are training and equipping pastors all around the world, including South America, Cuba, Pakistan, and Africa.
Come experience firsthand how God uses his people to transform lives, train pastors and build lasting relationships. The evening is free, but please RSVP via Realm by August 16th.
Men's Social Hang
Join us for a guys’ night at the pool on Friday, August 22 from 6-8 p.m.
No speeches. No icebreakers. No trust falls. Just an evening to hang out with other guys from church.
We'll be by the pool, solving the world's problems—or at least discussing sports, grills, tools, fishing, and whatever else comes up. Come relax, enjoy some conversation, swim some laps (yes, there is a lap lane) and get to know a few faces you may only recognize from across the worship center.
Come as you are—and bring a friend.
Entrance fee: bring a side dish to pass. We will provide the meat!

Summer Book Club
This summer at Christ Community, Brian Haworth and Lee McCroskey will lead us through three acclaimed novels that explore the power of grace. We will read one book per month.
Schedule
June 17 — The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis
July 15 — Godric by Frederick Buechner
August 26 — A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
In The Great Divorce, we begin with a magical bus ride to heaven, where souls must decide whether to cling to themselves or surrender to joy. Godric then brings us down to earth, tracing a human life marked by failure, longing, and the slow, surprising work of God’s grace. Finally, A Wrinkle in Time carries us into a cosmic struggle where love—not power or intellect—proves to be the force that overcomes darkness.
Together, these books invite us to consider how grace meets us, changes us, and ultimately calls us to love in a world that desperately needs it.

About True Financial Freedom Intensive
Welcome to a Money Class where you don’t have to pretend to have it all figured out…
You’ll walk through the same blueprint that God used to lead founders Bob & Linda from a mountain of debt to a life of eternal impact.
Every session is full of specific and practical action steps, real-life stories, life-changing revelations, and even a bit of fun!
Through the class you’ll learn the “set-it-and-forget-it” money principles Bob & Linda developed over the past 15 years.
And by the end of the class, you’ll start to see more margin to spend on what’s important to you–plus, more time to focus on what’s really important:
Living out your God-given purpose and full potential in the world (without the stress of money holding you back).
