It’s September—and guess what that means? Our pastor is back! 🙌

The seasons are changing—and maybe your church attendance has changed, too. Whether you’ve been away for a few weeks, a few months, or even a few years, don’t worry—we’ve created a space just for you on the Hill! 🍂

Join us for Fall Back Into Church Sunday—a special opportunity to reconnect with God, rediscover community, and return to worship.

We’re preparing a warm welcome and a place to call home. Make plans to join us, invite someone you love, and let’s fall back into church together!

It’s one of the Sundays we look forward to every year—Grandparents Sunday on the Hill! ❤️

On the second Sunday in September, we’ll honor and celebrate the love, wisdom, prayers, and lasting legacy of our grandparents and grandparent figures. This year’s celebration will be even more meaningful as generations come together for Youth and Young Adult Sunday!

Make plans NOW to join us—and invite the entire family! Let’s fill the Hill as we celebrate the generations that paved the way and those who are carrying the legacy forward.

Our Pastor, Rev. Dr. Shane B. Scott, reflects on the extraordinary life and enduring legacy of Tennessee’s beloved Dolly Parton in a new article published by The Tennessean.

Through her faith, generosity, compassion, and unwavering commitment to serving others, Dolly reminded us that a meaningful life is measured not simply by what we accomplish—but by how many people we lift along the way.

We invite you to read Dr. Scott’s full reflection and join us in honoring a Tennessee treasure whose light will continue to shine for generations.
