Our bimonthly email has all the latest happenings at Granny White and the Midtown movement.
Each Sunday we are hosting two services – 9:30am & 11am. Each service is limited to 60 people each. Anyone kindergarten and above can register. Registration for each Sunday opens at 9am on Tuesday and closes at 12pm on Friday. If a service is full, please sign up on the waitlist in the event there are cancellations for that service.
Would you considering inviting some friends, neighbors, other families or those you are quarantining with to worship with you on your back porch, in your driveway or even your living room?
Creating a movement of Gospel transformation through multiple congregations.
It’s simple. We want to be a movement that actually witnesses people being transformed by the life-giving message of Jesus Christ. We believe that we are called to carry out that mission by planting many different congregations throughout the city of Nashville and beyond.
Our Granny White congregation has its own dedicated pastor who works in union with the other Midtown pastors and a single leadership team that serves all congregations. Our hope is that Granny White would serve to create intimate venue for people to hear the gospel, build Christ-centered community and grow in maturity.
At Midtown, our Sunday worship services are specifically designed for you to hear the gospel. In 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Paul declares and defines the gospel clearly: “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.”
Midtown is about the gospel – the gospel message is of first importance for us. Jesus is the hero of the story and the centerpiece of the entire Bible. The gospel invites us to follow Jesus, be changed by Jesus and go on mission with Jesus.
Yes, now. Even in a global pandemic. We believe that consistent, intimate gatherings proclaiming the truth of the Gospel as it relates to our lives are the best environment to help us mature emotionally, spiritually, relationally and socially. We believe we need each other. Discipleship Groups are gatherings of 4-16 people, virtually or in-person, who are committed as a community to building relationships that support maturing in Christ together. Discipleship Groups use intentionally-designed discussion that is centered on God’s word and facilitated by a trained leader. The resulting community develops believers who are following Jesus and being changed by him, while equipping them to bring his message of Good News into their homes, workplaces, schools and neighborhoods.
Scripture from the current sermon series
We deeply value the students of Midtown and desire to minister to them in creative ways during this season. As we enter into the fall, we believe the next step for the Youth Ministry is for our small groups to gather in person on Sunday evenings. These gatherings will be outdoor, socially distanced small groups hosted by Youth families. We are excited to offer a space for weekly fellowship, worship, and time in God’s Word together! Stay tuned for more information.

We also want to create spaces for students and their family members to gather together this fall! We will be hosting three socially distanced Family Fellowship Nights this semester (8/30, 10/25, 12/6). These gatherings will be a great opportunity for families to engage with each other while also getting to safely interact with other Youth families! The theme for each Family Fellowship Night will be announced as we get closer to the date.
Please reach out to Shelby Walker for middle school or Taylor Kelly for high school with any questions about our fall program.

Learn MoreWe love your children and want to continue to minister to them this fall. Because of the difficulty of regulating social distancing among children, we WILL NOT be offering Kidtown at any live service.
Midtown Home Church is a great option for families. You can host a Midtown Home Church by inviting friends, other families, neighbors or people you’ve been quarantining with to join you in watching the worship service. We will provide with a host kit and a Kidtown kit that include a Bible story book and activities for the kids in your Home Church. Get more details about Midtown Home Church.
Jasmine Davis, our Kidtown Director, created a summer VBS, prepared craft packs and more! Shoot her an email if you want to get your kids connected.
At Midtown Fellowship, we recognize that as we are transformed by the work of Jesus on our behalf we are compelled to become agents of this work in the lives of the people around us. We understand that loved people love people. The more we experience our own transformation, we cannot help but seek to encourage, support, and champion this process in the lives of the people around us. In this way, we seek to go on mission with Jesus for the sake of the world around us. We are compelled to act.
As we act, we are guided by our mission statement “To create a movement of gospel transformation through multiple congregations”. This statement guides our efforts in two specific ways as we seek to live missionally in the world around us.
We invite you to start living missionally. If you have questions about how to get involved please email Tim Harmon.
These are opportunities where we invite all of our people to live missionally – as youth, families and groups.
As we equip, God leads members of our congregations into specific areas or people groups. If you would like to connect with others who might share your passions:
