Diverse UPCI Church Nashville??
 
Looking for an ethnically diverse UPCI church in Nashville. Let me know what you know. Going to visit my mother and looking for a church that worships and is culturaly diverse like Atlanta West.

Thanks......

Good luck with that. LOL! Ronnie Becton has a great church and a beautiful new building, but I don't know about culturally diverse. It didn't use to be, but may be more so now.

I looked on the UPCI.org directory and found this church - not sure how diverse it is though.

Wouldn't that be a kick in the head?
to be located on a street named Trinity or in a town named Trinity.

Trinity United Pentecostal Church in Trinity, TX?

Trinity Road United Pentecostal Church?

I have visited Becton's church in Nashville and The Turning Point church. I think both were pretty white although there were a few folks of color there. I don't know about Zuniga's church in the Gallatin area. At least a few years ago it was supposed to be the happening church in the Nashville area. I know they are in the middle of a building program and have sold their existing facility but are still having services in it. This is causing them to have just one service on Sunday and at a time the new church is not using it. You would have to check their website for details.

You ought to visit Christ Church! It is just in the last few years starting to be culturely diverse and it doesn't show up yet on the platform. In the last few years have made an outreach to the Spanish speaking folks, Kurds, and some other ethnic group (I have forgotten which) that is emigrating to Nashville at a pretty big rate. They had something like 50-70 of this last group all start coming to church at once so had special classes for them as most had zero Christian background but were open and interested because of one older lady in the group who had been witnessed to and became a Christian in a refugee camp in some country.

Why should one be worried about the race makeup of a church in order to attend. If it is a church teaching the doctrines of Christ they are your brother and sister in the Lord. Does that change because of race?

It matters! Most people don't want to be apart of a congregation they don't feel welcome. Unfortunately, in many apostolic churches racism still exists. I know from experience.

I believe this church is very liberal. The Bectons attended a concert a few weeks ago at a local bar in support of their friends who are embarking on a Rock Country Career. Free alcohol was served to everyone at "The Exit Inn" Many of their church members attended as well.
