WHAT IS THE NASHVILLE CENTER FOR FAITH & CULTURE (NCFC)?

The NCFC is a L'Abri style residential study center that is being planted in the Nashville, TN area and will open in late fall of 2007 or early spring of 2008.


WHAT IS A STUDY CENTER?

The study center will be a home or a group of homes located geographically close to one another (in a rural setting in the Nashville, TN area). It will be a place in which both Christian and non-Christian guests from the area, region, country, and from all over the world can come to live for a time, ask questions, discuss issues, and study in a distinctively community/family based context. The goal of the center will be to create a safe environment of unhurried (yet not unlimited) time where guests can feel free to ask and seek honest answers to any and all of their honest questions concerning life, the world, and God.

WHAT IS A STUDY CENTER NOT?

A Study Center Is Not The Church: In developing our vision for a study center we believe that it is very important to make it clear that the center is not, nor will it ever seek to be the church. It is in no way our desire, nor is it our intent to compete with or provide some kind of alternative to the church. Every staff member and helper at the center will be required to join and be involved in a local church.

WHY NASHVILLE?

The question of location is a very important issue for any new ministry. Therefore, it is important for us to seek to answer the question of why we that Nashville is a good location for our residential study center. The truth is that we do not believe that Nashville is the only place a ministry such as this could be effective. We’re sure that there are many cities and communities around the world where a study center would be very successful and beneficial.
