Local Outreach
Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. ~ Matthew 5:16
Our Local Outreach Strategy:
- To form meaningful local partnerships that provide regular opportunities for our church body to give their lives away by doing good works.
- To support a select group of local ministries which serve the needs of the community with our financial resources.
For more information or to learn how you, your family or your Community Group can get involved with one of these ministries, please visit their website and/or contact Tony Roberts at troberts@FellowshipNashville.org or 615 277-9505.
