Who are we?
People like you. Christians. “God-fearers.” Men and women convinced by the evidence for the existence of Jesus the Nazarene, and persuaded of his extraordinary claims by the astonishing miracles he was able to perform and the amazing difference he still makes today.
Specifically, we’re a “mission” of the Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee. Huh? An outpost of the "Anglican" movement in the heart of the Bible-belt: we represent a venerable, tried n’ tested blend of diverse elements developed in the High Middle Ages by the very first English-speaking “evangelicals” – translators and scholars of the Bible who felt drawn to separate themselves from a foreign-controlled church that had abandoned its calling: to be a “light” in the world; a place of transformation. Of “salvation.” This is what we aspire to be. Join us.

Our "Vicar"
– that’s a funny word from the Old World. It means “over-seer” or "pastor." But we call him: “Fr. Ben.”
Born in Cambridge (U.K.), he also studied “God-stuff” at the university in that city. Married and a dad; DC comics fan; follow him on twitter @rev_b_randall. You can read his sermons here.
