Formation is a new faith community taking shape north of Nashville — built on grace, truth, and real connection.
Formation is about being shaped — by the love of Jesus, in community, for the good of the world. We believe your spiritual transformation is more than a one-time decision, it's a lifelong process.
In the last few years, my wife, Hanna, and I have become deeply burdened as we have watched many people we love walk away from their faith and disconnect from the church. It became evident that our generation—Gen Z and Millennials—was increasingly drifting away from the things of God, and the statistics suggest that this trend will continue. This heavy realization stirred us to seek God's direction. Through countless prayers and conversations with trusted pastors and leaders, God revealed a clear vision: He was calling us to plant a new church in northern middle-Tennessee. This calling was not just a response to the need for gospel-centered churches in the area, but what we believe is a divine invitation to build a multi-generational community where people could find true joy and purpose in the person of Jesus. We envision Formation Church as a place where every generation can connect deeply with God and each other. With this hope and conviction, we step forward, eager to see how God will use Formation Church to reignite faith and foster a vibrant, passionate community centered on Christ.
