Congregation Background
Midtown Fellowship Granny White is a dynamic and growing congregation located in the Green Hills neighborhood of Nashville. Our congregation includes people from all stages of life, but the largest segment is young families. We are a highly relational and discipleship oriented church that is ruthlessly committed to the gospel and mission of Jesus Christ. We want to see our community and city transformed by this gospel. While highly autonomous, Granny White is one of six diverse congregations which make up one church movement: Midtown Fellowship.
We are coming out of the most significant leadership transition in the life of this church as last September the founding and lead pastor of twenty-three years stepped into a new role in the Midtown movement and a new lead pastor was brought on. We are now seeking to bring onto our staff an Assistant Pastor to join in the leadership, shepherding and care of our congregation, and in helping us move forward in our mission to our community.
