Missions
A place to grow and serve.
Christ Community Church joins with local, national, and global ministries to share the gospel in word and deed, and to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs within the body of Christ. As God has placed us in Franklin, we first seek to love and serve our community, our city, and the greater Middle Tennessee region.
