ASPEN GROVE CHRISTIAN CHURCH

What ASPEN GROVE CHRISTIAN CHURCH does

Aspen Grove Christian Church (AGCC) is a nondenominational Christian church located at 274 Mallory Station Rd in Franklin, Tennessee, operating as a private nonprofit organization since the 1950s. Originally established as First Christian Church and rooted in the Restoration Movement, the church serves congregants through a single Sunday worship service at 10:00am (in-person and via YouTube livestream), age-segmented ministries covering nursery through senior adults, weekly small groups (Edge for young adults, J.O.Y. for seniors, parenting and discipleship groups), children's programming in "The Park," and student ministry for grades 6-12. The organization employs 7 staff including Minister Adam Kaufhold (since August 2011) and Children and Family Minister Debbie Arnn (since November 2024), governed by an elder board with Admin and Ministry teams.

AGCC's technology stack is modest and consists primarily of the third-party Church Center mobile app and online directory, which handles member directory access (permission-controlled), online giving, small group management, and event registration, alongside YouTube for livestreamed and archived worship services. The church's revenue model is built on voluntary tithes and offerings from congregants, supplemented by periodic stewardship campaigns — most notably the 2022-2023 "Room to Grow" campaign, which raised over $400,000 in pledges to fund facility improvements, ministry team expansion, and mission programs. A secondary revenue stream comes from facility rental of spaces including The Café, Auditorium, The Park, and conference rooms to the community.

The church's go-to-market approach is community-led: acquiring congregants through worship services, community events (Summer Splash Park, Community Egg Hunt, Welcome Lunches), online content, and referral-driven small group participation, with quarterly visitor lunches and a forthcoming Growth Track ("The Way") discipleship series designed to formalize member progression. AGCC maintains a partnership ecosystem spanning local missions (Graceworks Ministries fuel bags, Nashville Rescue Mission, TN Kids Belong foster care advocacy since 2020, Williamson County Foster & Adoption Association, Love on Wheels), a summer camp partnership with Barefoot Republic, and an international mission relationship with Hacienda of Hope in Ecuador.
