The phrase "missional living" is another way of saying "living with a purpose." At West End Community Church we believe life is best lived when it is lived with the meaning and purpose God created us for. Living in an intentional way through our faith in Jesus allows us to live for His purposes and His Kingdom. As we live out the Gospel in our everyday lives we are living in a missional way at home, work, school, around town, serving with non-profit ministries and traveling and supporting overseas missionaries. It all comes together as living with a fierce intentionality for the Gospel by sharing the love of Jesus with others in a powerful way.
Hope for Nashville:
"Hope for Nashville" is the term we use for the eight local ministries we have chosen to align ourselves with, not only financially but also by volunteering to serve with them in their specific areas of excellence. While there are many excellent ministries in Nashville that illuminate the light of the Gospel and love others with the love of Jesus, these eight are connections we have deep ties to. If you would like to find out more about these specific ministries please click on the links below to see how you might get involved with changing our community from hopelessness to hope.
