Edgefield Baptist Church family...friends...community
2010 marks
the 143rd year of ministry for
Edgefield Baptist Church here in the historic Edgefield and East Nashville
community, as well as 103 years right here at the same location on the corner of South
Seventh & Russell Streets. While
much has changed throughout those years, our message and our purpose have
not...
...Our purpose is to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ in our world, and to build up the body of Christ in love, through worship, discipleship, fellowship & ministry.
We seek to be a place where all people can come and have a personal encounter with Jesus Christ, a place where people can be discipled in the Word, a place where people can participate in meaningful and vibrant worship, and experience warm and loving fellowship.
We strive to support missions both in our community and globally. We regularly support community ministries such as the East Nashville Cooperative Ministry, the Nashville Rescue Mission, the Tennessee Baptist Children's Home, Sight Ministry, and Rejoice Ministries. We also support the work of Southern Baptist Missions thru the Cooperative Program, the North American Mission Board, and the International Missions Board.
Edgefield has always provided strong
ministries for children and youth, and that tradition continues today.
Edgefield Kids and The
Edge Youth & Student Ministry provide
wonderful opportunities in worship, Bible study, missions, and fun
activities that help to build a strong foundation of faith that will prepare
them for a lifetime of living for, and serving Christ.
Just as we have over these past 143 years, we plan to continue to be a lighthouse on this corner, in our community, and in our world. We look back with thanksgiving for the blessings of our history, but we are excited today about what God is doing in the life of our church and community.
We invite you to come experience, and see for yourself, what we are all about here at Edgefield. We gather for Worship each Sunday morning at 10 am, followed by Fellowship & Coffee at 11 am, and Small Group Bible Study for all ages at 11:15 am. Wednesday night activities get underway at 6 pm each week, following Fellowship Supper at 5:15 pm.
