Read MoreIn the Governance and Ministry model, the Vision of Ministry is an answer to the question, “In what new and different ways will we transform lives this year?” Each year, at the Annual Board Retreat, the minister and the Board, do our best to answer that question. This year, we kept it simple. We have one goal: To nurture or connections. Our connections to each other. Our connections to our physical place. And our connections to our Middle Tennessee community. The Shared Ministries Council will be meeting this Sunday to discuss how different Teams can make this vision happen this year. For more details about this year’s vision, click Read More below.

July Shared Ministries Reopening Survey
Please fill out one form per family. All information is confidential and will only be shared in summary form. If you need help filling out this form, contact Kris T. and she can help you.
This survey has three purposes:
We are gathering general vaccination information about your family. No names will be collected and individual responses will not be shared. The purpose of this section is to determine if we have 70% of the congregation vaccinated at this point.
We are gathering feedback on your family's comfort level with meeting in-person, either outdoors or indoors, starting this fall.
If you are a parent/guardian with children in our CRE program, or if you are interested in teaching, being a classroom helper, or facilitating youth in the fall, we are gathering information about Fall Programming.
New blooms in our garden today are pale pink Rose of Sharon, our white Rose of Sharon, and our Bee Balm.
