MOVED!



Well, we are finally in our new worship space at 180N Old Hickory Blvd! Our worship and fellowship this past Sunday was AWESOME! We had between 90 and 100 folks with us to celebrate our new location and our new direction as a church.

I want to encourage you to keep the momentum going and keep looking forward! Christmas is a great season to sink deeply into the movment of the Spirit and experience the presence of Jesus in your life. Move past the world's commercial presentation of Jesus and instead look to the brand new things that the Holy Spirit is seeking to do in YOUR life. What does it mean for Jesus to be alive in YOU and in our church?

This coming Sunday we'll be talking about PRAYING WITH EXPECTATION and how when we pray expecting God to answer our prayers incredible things begin to move and happen in our lives. Promise Church is a praying church. More and more we are looking to see answered prayer and with that we are seeing God's miraculous power breaking out in people's relationships, health, finances, and faith journeys! I want to see even more in the coming year!

So make a commitment now to


  1. LET THE SPIRIT MOVE IN YOU in worship. See worship as a time to be ministered to by the Holy Spirit - touching places in your spirit that no counselor or self-help book could ever reach! It's in worship that we feel God's presence to do a new work in us. Our regular worship also encourages other people who want to know that God is real and moving in people's lives.
  2. To be a regular TITHER. The act of tithing (giving 10% of our income to God) anchors us in God-directed living. It's saying that even though we live in a world where there are many things competing for our time and resources - we CHOOSE to put God FIRST! What a blessing it is when we put God above all else.

  3. DISCOVER how you can use your God given gifts and talents to help others connect with Jesus and grow in their faith! At Promise Church we teach that God is in the process of gifting all of us to share and develop faith in others and that we live BEST when we live MISSIONALLY.

If you haven't seen the new church, here's some pictures! Of course, the BEST way to experience our new worship space is to come and be a part of the new thing God is doing at Promise Church! Some come, taste and see, that the Lord is good and is doing wonderful things in our church family!
