Tim and Tiffany have a vision to plant churches and start ministries in Nashville. Tim has 20 years of experience planting churches and starting other Christian organizations. Tiffany has a background in social work and mentoring. They value leading together as a team. Nashville is growing rapidly and becoming more diverse, but many churches are declining. Tim and Tiffany want to start a movement of churches, communities, and disciples to reach more people in Nashville.

2. Tim was raised in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. His journey with
God started out in a Christian reform school in the heart of southern Georgia. It
was there that he encountered some authentic Christian people who really
cared, leading him to experience the redemptive power of Christ’s love.
Tim later went on to college and received a degree in Biblical Studies. As
someone who always had a pioneering spirit, he began to focus his
entrepreneurial skills and sensibilities toward starting new kingdom ventures.
Over the last 20 years, by God’s grace, he helped plant two churches in both
urban and suburban contexts, started a campus ministry, an inner city mentor
program for at-risk youth, as well as several businesses.
Most recently, Tim co-authored a book with Alan Hirsch entitled The
Permanent Revolution where they outline the movemental significance of the
five-fold ministries of apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds and
teachers. For the past 3 years Tim has been coaching and consulting
planters, church leaders and training organizations on how to become
more movemental in their approach to ministry and leadership. After this
extended season of investing in other leaders, Tim and his wife Tiffany
have been called by God to re-enter the field to plant churches again.
Tiffany grew up in Montgomery, AL where she was actively involved in
mentoring teenagers and adults in under-resourced urban neighborhoods.
After receiving her degree in social work, she began focusing her
experience and training around ministering to women as well as empowering women in their callings for ministry.
Tiffany is passionate about efforts related to social justice and sustainability. In recent years, she has
volunteered with Hope Pregnancy Center as a Mom2Mom mentor, while running her own start-up business
called GreenHouse: Natural Products, Healthy People.
Tim and Tiffany value leading together as a team and, after 13 years of marriage, have learned how to
draw from each others unique giftings to meet the diverse challenges of pioneering leadership.

3. With what seems like a ‘church on every corner,’ do we really need more church planting in Nashville?
Think again. While Nashville has traditionally been known as the buckle of the Bible belt, did you know that over
the past 20 years that belt has been steadily ‘unbuckling’? Check out these stats:

As a magnet for creatives in a diversity of industries, Nashville is becoming an ecosystem of entrepreneurship and
innovation. With the racial and ethnic identity of the city continuing to diversify, this is quickly becoming a global city. In
the midst of this avant-garde culture, we are presented with a strategic opportunity to, quite literally, influence the world.

This ‘unbuckling’ of the Bible belt is a reflection of a much larger trend
taking place across the entire religious landscape of America.
Nashville…a global opportunity
The Nashville region is becoming the epicenter of a cultural renaissance.
Take a look at these developing trends.

4. When Jesus started his public ministry, the religious landscape was filled with a diversity
of religious groups - Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes and Zealots to name a
few. Each one of these groups had a specific way of engaging culture to
bring about change. To varying degrees, each group made their
mark, for better or worse, on the realities of their day. However, for the
most part, their efforts to bring about change were largely unrealized.
Jesus stepped onto this diverse religious landscape and,
interestingly enough, chose not to adopt any of those
existing strategies. More of the same would only lead to…
well…more of the same. Jesus had a new message – the
kingdom of God is near, repent and believe the good news.
This new message required a new method - follow me, and I will
make you to become fishers of men. Jesus’ strategy was to create
an alternative culture that was both redemptive and generative. Over
time, this new culture ended up multiplying into every cultural pocket of
the Roman Empire. Jesus started a missional movement that continues to
influence the world to this day.
Our vision is to be a missional movement of multiplying disciples, leaders, and
churches that saturates the entire Nashville metropolitan area, and beyond.
This vision is radical, but it’s not new.
It’s rooted in the ancient ways of Jesus himself.
Using the message and methods of our founder, we will be the change that we want to see.

5. GOSPEL
Our values will be like a rudder on a ship. They will help us stay on course as we navigate
the constantly shifting waters of our existing culture.
The good news that God reigns, in Jesus, through his incarnation, life,
death, burial, resurrection and ascension, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
DISCIPLESHIP The relational process of being supported and stretched to become more
like Jesus.
COMMUNITY
A rugged faithfulness to walk with one another through highs and lows,
knowing and being known through a shared rhythm of life.
Each one of us has been uniquely gifted by Christ with a fivefold
ministry, and can be naturally supernatural with the gifts of the Spirit.
Everyone gets to play.
GIFTINGS
MISSION
INNOVATION
The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit send us into the world to participate in
their mission of renewing all things.
In order to reach people no one is reaching, we will have to do things no
one is doing, and go places no one is going.

6. 20-50 people who gather
regularly as an extended
family, to develop their
UP-ward relationship with God,
their IN-ward relationships with
one another, and their
OUT-ward relationships
with a particular neighborhood
or network.
MISSIONAL
COMMUNTIES
4-6 people who meet
weekly to be discipled
into the comprehension,
competency and
character of Jesus. 70+ people who gather weekly to
cast vision, celebrate what God is
doing, meaningfully connect with
others in the movement, and
communicate the gospel in
compelling ways.
We will have three primary vehicles to help us pursue
our vision and practice our values.

8. While movements are often started by a few, they become sustainable through partnerships with many. Paul knew this,
which is why he often speaks of people in his relational network as being partners in the gospel.
