What is GO Celebration?

Each year, our church family gathers for GO Celebration weekend, a special time to celebrate what God is doing through missions—both locally and around the world.

During this weekend, several of our missions partners travel to Nashville to be with us in person. It’s a meaningful opportunity to hear stories, receive updates, and spend intentional time in fellowship with those we support and partner with in ministry. It's also a chance for each person to prayerfully consider what step of gospel obedience the Lord is calling them to take.

We invite you to join us on Saturday evening for a shared dinner and session as we kick off the weekend together. On Sunday morning, worship will be led by one of our visiting missions partners as we gather as one church to praise God and reflect on His work across the nations.

The weekend will conclude on Sunday afternoon with breakout sessions designed to inform, encourage, and inspire. Topics and additional details will be coming soon.

GO Celebration weekend is a powerful reminder that we are part of something bigger—God’s mission in the world—and we want each person to find their place in it.
