Belmont Church

What Belmont Church does

Belmont Church is an independent, non-denominationally affiliated Christian congregation headquartered at 68 Music Square East on Nashville's Music Row. Founded in 1911 as Belmont Church of Christ through a tent meeting at Grand Ave and Belmont Ave, the church has operated continuously for over 110 years, today offering a multi-generational ministry portfolio spanning children's programming (18 months through 4th grade), youth (Mosaic), young adults (Abide), men's, women's, marriage and family, and seniors (Active Seniors for Christ) ministries, alongside worship services, small groups across six formats, faith-exploration courses (Alpha), apologetics, and creative arts.

The church's technology stack is built on the Church Center platform (by MinistryCentered) for church management, online giving, event registration, and directory access; Pro Presenter for in-service visual presentations; and YouTube for live streaming and on-demand service replays. Original music content, including Psalms Vol. 1 and the Ephesians Project, is distributed across Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube. The marketing and engagement stack extends to Instagram, Facebook, a Mailchimp-distributed eBeat newsletter, and Sunday Messages podcasts on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music, and iHeart Radio.

Belmont's revenue model is donation-driven: recurring tithes and offerings from members (subscription-like), Faith Promise commitments supporting 75+ global mission partners (over $9M cumulative across 22+ years), per-participant fees for short-term international mission trips ($2,500-$5,000), and earmarked donations channeled through Lifesong for Orphans for adoption support. The church runs a SIMPL member-engagement framework (Serve, Invite, Meet, Pray, Give) and a two-step CONNECT onboarding class, with Steve and Judi Cochran serving as Global Pastors since September 2020 and a worship team of 6 leaders plus 50+ musicians, artists, dancers, and media volunteers led by Worship Pastor Wes Pickering.
