Christ’s Fellowship Story
The need for revitalized churches has never been greater.
With thousands of churches closing their doors each year across the globe, there's a critical need for church replanting.
This isn't just about starting from scratch; it's about breathing new life into struggling or dying congregations, preventing them from closing their doors entirely.
Christ’s Fellowship in Gallatin, TN, offers a powerful example of the transformative impact of such partnerships. What was once a declining church at risk of aging out is now a vibrant, multigenerational community passionately devoted to the Great Commission. This kind of church replant is what happens when a struggling local church and a healthy one join forces.
While planting new churches remains a vital endeavor, God isn't finished with many strategically placed existing churches. Their revival through replanting is necessary for the continued growth of His Kingdom.

Former Pastor, Grace Point Church (now replanted as Christ's Fellowship)
“When TJC engaged with Grace Point Church, the congregation was diminishing and desperate. The patience and generosity TJC exhibited throughout the process fostered trust and openness for change. Less than a year later, the new congregation, renamed Christ Fellowship, is thriving, missional, and growing. Oh for more stories like this, where struggling churches and healthy congregations partner together for the future God wants to write for His glory!”
