Green Hills Church made the news. Fox 17 (the local Nashville affiliate) asked to do a feature on us this past sunday. The piece aired September 20th on the evening news. It is a really cool piece that gives a good look at our church and why we are in Nashville. You can get a good look at what our worship environment, music and teaching looks like.

Here is the excerpt from Fox 17’s website
Local Church Congregations Worshiping in Non-Traditional Places – Blair Simmons
It’s a growing trend — congregations are finding off-beat places to meet. It’s partially because of the economy, but in large part, their aim is to reach a different crowd.
Churches are getting creative. They’re meeting in coffee shops, business complexes — there’s even a “Cowboy Church” that meets in a rodeo arena… but if you think that’s unorthodox, check out Green Hills Church. They meet in a bar.

I viewed this from Tab’s gmail status the other day. I really like when they showed you saying that the church is not about the building, it’s about the people. Amen!

Hey, great report. The church looks great (I mean the people, but also the way you have arranged the facility).
Funny that the news has to use the “bar” angle as a lead in. Oh well.

Yeah, its funny how surprising it is to people that we meet there. Its become so normal to us that we dont even think its weird anymore. Sorry I missed the meeting last week. I will try to be there next week. You going?
