Harpeth Hills Church of Christ

What Harpeth Hills Church of Christ does

Harpeth Hills Church of Christ is a Christ-centered, non-profit religious organization founded in 1887 and headquartered at 1949 Old Hickory Boulevard in Brentwood, Tennessee. It operates as a multi-generational congregation within the Churches of Christ fellowship, offering a dual-format worship model with a cappella services (8:30am Sunday) and instrumental services (8:30am and 11am Sunday), supplemented by Wednesday Bible classes, community small groups, and digital livestreaming via YouTube and Resi. The organization serves a broad member base across all life stages, from a 3-star DHS-certified preschool (ages 15 months-6 years, 9 classrooms, 100+ students, 23 staff) through children's and youth ministries, to adult worship, women's and men's ministry programs, and senior pastoral care.

The church's product portfolio is organized as distinct sub-brands and programs. Harpeth Hills Preschool charges a $75 non-refundable registration fee plus tuition, and Harpeth Hills Counseling Center delivers professional therapy at $125 per 50-minute session (including EMDR trauma recovery and CSAT addiction therapy) with a member financial assistance fund. Camp Koinonia is a church-owned summer camp facility, and the Move and Connect Nashville program is a 10-week newcomer integration course. The technology stack is built on third-party SaaS rather than proprietary systems: Realm (membership and online giving), RightNow Media (20,000+ video library), Resi (livestreaming), Wufoo (forms), SignUpGenius (volunteer scheduling), and The Church Co (website platform). The sermon and Bible class archives are distributed via YouTube.

The business model is non-profit and donation-based, with the primary revenue stream being voluntary tithes and offerings collected during services and through the Realm online giving platform. Secondary revenue streams include preschool registration fees and tuition, counseling session fees, and summer camp fees. The church supports over 35 global and local mission partnerships (across Brazil, Ecuador, Ghana, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, New Zealand, Nigeria, Scotland, India, and the Middle East) and local Nashville-area partners including Faith Family Medical Center, Room in the Inn, AGAPE, UrbanPromise Nashville, and Tennessee Prison Outreach Ministry. Governance is by a board of shepherds/elders with pastoral staff, and the organization has no parent company or external equity holders.
