Types of churches in Franklin

Non-Denominational Churches in Franklin

Centered around the Cool Springs corridor and newer hubs like Berry Farms, these congregations emphasize modern worship, practical teaching, and casual, family-friendly environments. Many are multi-site or church plants tied to greater Nashville, with active small groups in neighborhoods such as Westhaven, Fieldstone Farms, and McKay’s Mill.

Historic & Liturgical Churches

In and around downtown Franklin’s Main Street and older blocks, traditional congregations worship in historic brick sanctuaries with organ, choir, and structured liturgies. They attract multi-generational families and history-minded residents, often tying outreach and seasonal observances to the city’s heritage and walkable core.

Spanish-Language Churches in Franklin

With a growing Latino community, several congregations offer bilingual or Spanish-only services, particularly along Murfreesboro Road/Highway 96 and near apartment communities off Carothers Parkway. Expect family-centered worship, ESL classes, and practical support that helps newcomers connect with established Williamson County networks.

Country Churches & Chapels

West of town toward Leiper’s Fork and along Hillsboro and Old Hillsboro roads, small congregations gather in simple sanctuaries with a close-knit, front‑porch feel. Services often include gospel or bluegrass-influenced music, potluck meals, and neighbor-helping-neighbor projects that reflect rural Williamson County rhythms.

#LetGoForIncrease
“But the moment I open my hands, the moment I open them up, refuse clutch becomes the moment that God can take your little and increase you. It works. Take it from me, people of God. Look, we're not preaching trying to get in your pocketbook, but we're preaching, trying to bring increase to your life. I promise you, please understand that what you have, god has more, more, abundantly more left to give. But it only happens the moment we stop clutching. Stop clutching it. Don't be afraid. Stop clutching it. And trust God by releasing.”

#FearlessWithJesus
“``You all know this as well as I know it. The world is full of real things, real threats, real problems, real terrors that are far more difficult, far more tragic, and way scarier than anything they can dream up to put in horror movies. Seriously. But we know the one who is greater than the greatest problems. We know the one who is more powerful than the biggest of threats. We know the one who brings healing even through the worst tragedies. We know the one who says to us, no matter what we are facing, it is I. Do not be afraid. So don't worry. Don't worry. Go to the lake. Go anywhere with Jesus. Go into anything with Jesus. Face anything with Jesus and have no fear.”

“I had to quit being an addict. How do you do that? I think sometimes we think it's as easy as stopping. Well, just quit. Just stop doing it. Stop wanting it. Okay. Stop breathing. How's that? We read first Corinthians six sometimes, and we think, see? Paul said, do not be deceived, neither the sexually immoral, nor drunkards, or revilers, swindlers, homosexuals. None of such will enter the kingdom of God. Such were some of you. We love that. Such were some of you. You say, well, I see they stopped. What Paul doesn't tell us is how long did that take? I can tell you. On 11/12/2001, I wanted to give it up. When I died to myself in Christ, I wasn't sober for another almost six years. I wanted to be, but it was hard.”
64s
“So as we look at this this morning, we will see that kindness is most certainly not a sweet little fruit. It is robust and strong and can create thick community, bonds of trust, and point people to the kindness of our God. For as Paul says, it is his kindness that leads us to repentance. It's God's kindness towards us that leads to change. Notice he doesn't say it is his wrath. It doesn't say it is his judgment. It doesn't say that God uses shame. No. It is his kindness, and he means to work that kindness out in us. So we're gonna look at three ways of looking at kindness. Physical kindness, relational kindness, spiritual kindness.”
15s
“We all have different sensitivities. We all have wisdom in different areas. So I think that kind of corporate aspect is very, very important. Being aware of ones own weaknesses, I think, is significant as well.”
70s
#FaithMultiplies
“God will make your little become much the same god the salt is poor widow with two coins equivalent to a penny the same god who saw this woman is the same god that sees your faith. The same god that sees your obedience. The same god that sees your faithfulness. So whatever you do, keep on giving. Whatever you do, keep on trusting. Because the very moment you trust God with the little that you have, and you give your little in faith. You will discover what you gave could very well be more than everyone else.”
67s
#ReleaseToReceive
“It works. People of God, it works. It works. See, some of us are living our lives. We're walking around, taking the little that we have, and we're clutching it for dear life. We're clutching it. And if you notice that as long as I'm clutching, as long as I'm clutching, refusing to release, the blessings of God can't come in. But the moment I open my hands, the moment I open them up, refuse clutch becomes the moment that God can take your little and increase you.”
51s
#TrustAndRelease
“It works. Take it from me, people of God. Look, we're not preaching trying to get in your pocketbook, but we're preaching, trying to bring increase to your life. I promise you, please understand that what you have, god has more, more, abundantly more left to give. But it only happens the moment we stop clutching. Stop clutching it. Don't be afraid. Stop clutching it. And trust God by releasing.”
53s
#JesusIsGreater
“When we face things that are bigger than us, when we find ourselves in a fix that is something we can't fix, wouldn't it be good to know someone who is greater than we can know? Someone who is who is capable of accomplishing things beyond what we thought was possible. And I'll be darned, but here he comes out to us walking on top of the lake, in the midst of our terror, in the midst of our fear. And the only thing he says to us is, it is I. Do not be afraid.”
65s
#DawningRealization
“Do you think? Do you think it's possible? Do you think it is possible, just possible, that their terror, as the gospel describes it, do you think it's possible that their terror might be less about the fear of the unknown and more about a growing realization that this man that they have chosen to follow is far more than meets the eye, is far more powerful than they ever could have imagined. Do you think it's possible that their terror in this moment is due to a dawning realization that this man they are following is more than they ever could have imagined.”
