Tennessee

Why I Love This Opportunity

Ryan Latham

Associate

Exciting times are ahead for Fellowship Bible Church as they prepare to launch their second campus in January 2025. With a long history of healthy and successful student ministry, the church is ready to carry this momentum forward. Located just minutes outside of Nashville, this growing community offers a great opportunity for a gospel-centered leader passionate about reaching families for Christ.

About This Organization

Fellowship Bible Church is a community of faith that started from scratch in Murfreesboro twenty-four years ago. Its distinctives include elder leadership, gospel-grounded identity, expositional preaching through books of the Bible, an emphasis on small groups throughout every area of ministry, a balanced commitment to evangelism and equipping, a collaborative ministry culture, and all-around maturity as our primary measure of success. When asked to describe ourselves, we tell people we’re a diverse gathering of broken yet hopeful people who believe Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. Simple, but comprehensive! Based on the Great Commission, we aim to cultivate connected followers of Christ in everything we do. It is our mission. Our hope is to have as much redemptive influence as God intends without compromising his clear call for us to live in authentic, biblical community. Our city is among the fastest growing in the U.S., so we are currently pursuing additional campuses for the purpose of extending our influence to nearby communities. It’s honestly exciting to think about who God will lead to lock arms with us in this new season of expansion.
