Tullahoma Church Plant Next Steps!

We held our first Information and Discussion meeting on Tuesday, September 5th and had a great turnout! The meeting on September 18th will be a follow up to that meeting. The gathering on Monday, September 18th @ 6:30 at the Holiday Inn Express in Tullahoma will include new information, a time of discussion, worship, prayer, and fellowship. Most importantly, we will make a decision as to whether or not we will move forward with the planting of a new church in Tullahoma!If you want to be on the "ground floor" of something new and exciting that has the potential to make a huge impact for Christ in our community, I encourage you to join us for this "Tullahoma Church Plant Next Steps" meeting. If you're worried about coming and not knowing anyone at the meeting, don't! First, understand that many people who will be attending are just like you and won't know everyone in the room. Secondly, let me encourage you to invite a friend to come with you. Offer to pick them up or let them know you'll meet them in the lobby of the hotel so you can walk in the meeting together. This is something new for all of us who are joining together in this effort. Here's the thing... If you sense God is calling you to join with us, don't let anything hold you back! WE NEED YOU! 😊 God is moving and He wants to move in and through you! So don't miss out on the blessing He has for you, or the blessing He is calling you to be by joining with us in this effort!Isaiah 43:19 - See, I am doing a new thing!

An important note from Tullahoma Church Plant Director, Pastor Christian Watts...

Over the past 3 months Kelleye and I have been seeking God's direction for ministry and our family. We have been blessed to have several churches express interest in me as a Pastor or Worship Pastor and have spoken to and met with several of these churches. All of the churches that we have spoken to would have taken us a good distance from Tullahoma...

One thing that has remained constant is the feeling that God led us to minister in Tullahoma and we do not believe He is done with us here. When I came to Tullahoma in 2012, I was overwhelmed with the reality that a town in the "Bible Belt" consisted of a majority of persons that did not attend church. That reality is still true today and that is why we are currently seeking God's will and direction as to whether He is leading us to plant a new church right here in Tullahoma. If you've read any of my previous post, you know that I am fully aware that there are many churches in and around Tullahoma. At the same time, I believe that our city is in need of a Biblically solid, Christ-centered church that is intentional in reaching the lost, displaced, and unchurched. Please know that I am not saying that there are not churches in and around us who are doing this, but what I am saying is that there is room for more! Therefore, in response to God's call on my life, and His call to minister in the City of Tullahoma, we are pressing forward with seeking His will and direction regarding a new church plant in Tullahoma.

Let me say again that this church is not meant to be a competition to other established churches in our area, nor are our intentions to pull people away from their current church family. This church, if planted, will have the intentional purpose of reaching the unchurched in ways many of our established churches may be unable to. Do we need seasoned Christian's who feel God leading them to join us in this effort to help us? YES! We absolutely do! We need people who have a heart for the lost and a vision to reach the masses in our community to join us in our efforts because we will need teachers, youth workers, people to care and love on the children, greeters, counselors, and people who will work to disciple those who are new in their faith.

Tullahoma is our home and our mission field. As Jesus said in Matthew 9:37-38 - “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask Him to send more workers into His fields.” We have prayed and believe this is the field God has called us to. I ask for your prayers, support, and love for my family and I ask we work to serve our Lord here in Tullahoma. I believe God has a reason for everything and I am excited about what He is revealing to us at this time.

May God be glorified, Christ be exalted, and may the Kingdom be increased by all of us who are called to work the mission field of Tullahoma Tennessee!

Praying for God's best!

Pastor Christian Watts
