Faith Grows in Community

At Bridges Nashville, we believe spiritual growth happens best when we gather together, learn, and encourage one another. That’s why we’re launching a new book study to help you deepen your faith and build meaningful connections.

This is more than just reading a book—it’s about discovering the richness of Scripture together and learning how God’s truth transforms our lives.

About the Book:
The Gospel on the Ground

In The Gospel on the Ground, Kristi McLelland takes us back to the first-century world of Jesus, showing how the message of the early church spread through ordinary people empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Through this study, you’ll gain fresh insight into God’s Kingdom, His promises, and how they impact your life today.

This Study is for You if You Want To:

- Understand Scripture through a historical and cultural lens
- Deepen your faith in a supportive, engaging community
- Explore the early church’s mission and how it applies to us today
- Grow in confidence as you share the Gospel with others

To get the book, you can visit Amazon or Lifeway.
If the cost of the book is a concern, please let us know—we want everyone to have the opportunity to join this study, and we’re happy to help.
