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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

T-GROUPS

The movement, as well as the first local church plant, will be called OneLife.

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.
