Finding a church home as a freshman, a transfer, or even as an upperclassman can be difficult. There are several different places to worship in and around Nashville. Whether you prefer more traditional worship or enjoy a more contemporary-style worship, a church home is out there waiting for you. You’ve heard the rumors about different churches. “That church is as boring as my parents’ church!” “I’ve been there every Sunday for three months and they always do something different– I love it!” Brentwood Hills Church of Christ Brentwood Hills Church of Christ is located at 5120 Franklin Road in Nashville. It’s about a 10 minute drive from Lipscomb’s campus, and they offer worship services on Sunday at 8 am, 10:30 am and at 6 pm. They also offer bible classes on Sunday at 9:15 am. Brentwood Hills provides youth group and small group studies on Wednesday evenings at various times, and other days of the week as well. Fun events such as See You at the Pole, Fall Retreat, pool parties and pick-up sports teams are other ways to get involved at Brentwood Hills.
