Discover Us & Discover You
Join us on Sunday, August 16, from 12:00–1:00 p.m. at The Church at Lockeland Springs for Discover Us and Discover You. These membership classes, held immediately following the service, are the starting point for anyone sensing God’s call to join our church family, where you’ll learn about our mission, beliefs, and how God has uniquely gifted you to serve. Lunch will be provided, and we’d love to help you take your next step.
Leadership Nominations
God is at work across our nine campuses, growing His church throughout Middle Tennessee and beyond as we fuel a disciple-making, church-multiplying movement engaging the whole person with the whole gospel. We need strong leaders to carry that vision forward; we’re accepting nominations now through Sunday, August 16, for our Trustees, Finance Ministry Team, Staff Resource Team, and Campus Advisory Team. Click here to nominate someone.
Exploring Your Call
Do you sense God may be calling you into vocational ministry? Join us Tuesdays, August 18–September 8, from 6:00–7:30 p.m., for Exploring Your Call. This is a four-week study for anyone prayerfully weighing that next step: engaging in meaningful conversations about calling, character, spiritual gifting, and practical next steps in a Christ-centered, encouraging environment.
Coaching Foundations
Join us Friday, August 21, from 1:00–8:00 p.m. (dinner included), and Saturday, August 22, from 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. (lunch included), at the Brentwood Campus Welcome Center, as we explore what coaching is, how it differs from mentoring and counseling, and how coaching conversations can make you a more effective leader. This ICF-accredited course is essential for every leader and a prerequisite for our advanced class, Coaching Relationships.

Prayer for the Persecuted Church | Sudan
This month, we’re praying for the persecuted church in Sudan, where ongoing civil war has placed believers—especially converts—at great risk. Pray for protection for those forced to flee, for peace in the midst of violence, and for the church to faithfully live as salt and light while pointing others to the peace of Jesus.
What Really Happened at the Southern Baptist Convention

In this special episode of Sermon Notes, Pastors Jay Strother and Brian Coates break down what really happened at this year’s annual meeting — from the cooperative program to key votes and resolutions — so you have context before the next headline.
