Brentwood Hills Church Christ

What Brentwood Hills Church Christ does

Brentwood Hills Church of Christ is a private, nonprofit religious organization founded on May 18, 1955, in Nashville, Tennessee. The church operates two physical campuses — a 750-seat main auditorium at 5120 Franklin Pike and a bilingual/Spanish-speaking campus, Iglesia de Cristo en Grandview, at 2605 Nolensville Pike — and runs a structured program of Sunday and Wednesday worship services, age-graded Bible classes, and dedicated ministries covering children, students, college-age adults, young professionals, adult education, seniors, men, and women. Beyond worship and education, the church operates an unusually broad set of community-support programs, including three weekly open AA meetings, GriefShare, Freedom Prayer, a Waiting in Hope infertility ministry, Morningstar Sanctuary support for domestic violence survivors, Room in the Inn seasonal homeless shelter, STAND Ministry for foster families, and weekly Inner City Ministries programming for ages 3-15.

The organization is supported by a 22-person named staff and elder governance, with no proprietary technology; operations run on commodity SaaS including Vimeo for live streaming, CCB Church for member database management, an online giving portal, YouVersion-integrated Bible reading plans, and CarePortal for volunteer coordination of foster-care needs. The revenue model is dominated by recurring voluntary tithes and offerings from individual members, supplemented by modest one-time camp registration fees (Senior Camp $250, Middle Camp $225, Junior Camp $180 with multi-camper discounts). The church also sustains a global missions program with 20+ named mission points across five continents, supporting missionaries and partner organizations in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Germany, Honduras, Kenya, Mexico, New Zealand, and Utah.

The GTM motion is community-led and event-driven: acquisition occurs primarily through in-person worship attendance, small-group invitation, specialized support programs that serve as entry points, and a bilingual campus serving Nashville's Spanish-speaking population. No external ownership, funding rounds, or parent entities are present; the organization is governed autonomously by an elder/shepherd board and reinvests contributions into local outreach, global missions, and facility operations.
