Who We Are
A welcoming community of Christian disciples seeking to love and serve God and neighbor
We are a traditional, mid-sized congregation with a friendly atmosphere; a place where people of diverse ages and backgrounds worship together, minister to one another, and serve our community.
We are excited to show you who we are and welcome all guests to visit us and learn even more about our community of faith.
Visitors, while not singled out, are warmly welcomed. As our guest for the Sunday morning worship service, you will find people dressed in a variety of ways. We welcome you as you are!
Looking for a church family can be a difficult process. We pray that upon your visit to Brenthaven, you will feel God’s love and grace as you worship with us. We look forward to meeting you!
Style of Worship
We offer a traditional style of worship. The use of hymns, responsive prayers and affirmations of faith will be found in most of our services. Most Sundays the music is accompanied by the organ and piano.
However, we also that worship is ever evolving and that there is no one way to worship God. So, you may show up and find a band leading worship or maybe that the focus of worship is more prayerful. While there is comfort in the familiar, it is important to be listen for the Spirit.
We do celebrate communion on the first Sunday of the month, as well as on Maundy Thursday, Easter and Christmas Eve.
A nursery is provided during both Sunday school and the morning worship service. After the children's sermon, children under the age of 5 are invited to their own "worship time” in the nursery, if they so choose. We encourage the participation of children in the life of the church through worship.
Why Brenthaven?
We know there are many churches to choose from in the area. We also know that Brenthaven is small in comparison to many of the churches around. That’s why, when you walk through our doors, we want you to experience the friendly feeling of a family home.
From being greeted at our doors to the warmth of a Sunday service, it is our prayer that you will encounter God as you come to worship. But be warned, you can’t just slip in and think no one will speak! That’s what makes us special.
We want you here and we want you to feel like you belong – just as you are!
Brenthaven's History
Two Cumberland Presbyterian congregations, Brentwood and Brookhaven merged in October, 2003, forming the Brenthaven Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Each church had been witnessing to and serving their communities for more than 60 years and the merger was predicated upon the belief that the two congregations could be strengthened and provide a more effective witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ in northern Williamson and southern Davidson counties.
In the 20 years of Brenthaven, we have been blessed by the many people who have made us their church home. We pray you will find that same desire as you join us for worship.
