About

• Randall Damron★☆☆☆☆a month ago

  Online has a 1300 service listed. Showed up at 1250 and waited. All yhe doors were locked. The 1300 service probably needs to be removed by the staff on the website before they cancel the time slot. Church of the City - Spring Hill …

  Felt welcomed upon entering the church. People saying hello to me that I didn't even know. The worship - God was present!! I cried. The head pastor was absolutely amazing. I was not distracted once... and I get easily distracted. Pastor here - kind of diverts with storytelling but gets back to the teaching - not a huge negative but I do need the Word poured into me. I already serve after only attending 3 weeks.

  We love being part of the COTC family of believers. Great community for us and our kids. They are plugged in and growing as well. We highly recommend if you are looking. Let us know if you’re coming and I’ll meet you at the door and show you around.

  The new pastor (2022) is a great teacher and worship is always good. There’s a lot of heart behind the scenes here. It’s not just a Sunday program, there’s a lot of work in and for the community. They have Celebrate recovery here on Tuesdays, and honestly City Students (middle school and high school) is superb. They really want to mentor the kids and not just build an epic program. No church is perfect but we have felt like this is a healthy church for our family. Grateful.

  The folks here are friendly and make you feel right at home the moment you walk in the door. My kids have been a part of the student groups and have made life long friends. If you want to find a place to give back to the community, Church of the City Spring Hill has wonderful opportunities to utilize your talents and abilities to bless this wonderful city and your neighbors! We love Church of the City Spring Hill! 💙

  This is a bible believing, bible preaching, praying church. All the pastors and leaders are accessible to answer any questions. They have a great children's program with designated people for kiddos with special needs. There is a place for infants through preschool. Locked doors and police (visible in uniform) are in place every weekend. Fantastic middle and high school program. Celebrate recovery every Tues night for adults and a program for kids and child care.

  The wrap around closet has been so wonderful for our foster children and they will also take donations of your gently used clothes and other items that foster children can "shop" for at no cost. Wonderful staff too!

  Derek is an incredible pastor—bringing the Word in truth and grace. The people here are so kind-hearted as well, and I can't say enough about the Wrap Around Closet ministry. I'm thankful that we found this church.

  I have been a part of many great churches over my lifetime. All of my favorites in the different cities I have lived in seem to keep a common theme. The Rock - Rusty Nelson (Huntsville, AL), Destiny Church - Steven Morgan - Columbia, TN, Church of the Highlands - Chris Hodges - Birmingham, AL, & now City Church - Derek Bareman - Spring Hill, TN all are 100% amazing places. We are a simple family that is looking for passionate worship, a strong belief that God is still real, present, & active in our daily lives, great children facilities and a leadership that cares! Yesterday we were struggling to attend church. This had nothing to do with the time or the great church we had been attending on a non regular basis, but our kids. My children didn't connect where we were going because none of their school friends were there. In the debate with my wife I opened up Google and searched churches in Spring Hill. City Church is right beside our house and we drive past it multiple times daily. We opened up their website and immediately felt submersed that our ideals/passions were falling right in line with the churches vision. We got there 20 minutes early to do the normal kid routine and hear from all the greeters. We were quicly but not hastily greeted. They walked us over to the the kid check in desk. I need to pause here and say that the church is laid out very well. Things just make sense. Its kind of like walking into someone elses kitchen and you don't even have to guess where the cups are because they are closest to the fridge just like when you're home. The process was quick, electronic, & still personable. Our kids 6/3/2 were taken to class and not one was upset or cried. They all had an absolute blast and asked can we come back next week! As a previous youth and childrens pastor I believe reaching kids where they are at a young age is vital to their future. Now lets move on to the service. You walk in to the sanctuary and it quickly meets the eye test. Modern, clean, organized, & appealing. Service quickly began to fill up for the 11am start time and the band came out. Live music with great vocals, guitars, and a rocking drummer. They played a combination of radio popular type contemporary worship and some other well known names like Hill song/Jesus Culture etc. Arrive to the stage Pastor Derek. If I'm being honest, I am very quick to judge someone....at least in my head. Maybe judge isn't the right word and "sizing someone up" is a better fit. Derek looked to be about 6' tall, fit, passionate, and a strong extrovert. We in particular found this to be appealing. We like passionate people because our family is. Yes we have some introverts but for the most part we are passionate and outspoken about life! His message was interactive, funny, backed by scripture (lots of it), & not lengthy. It's funny how a person can get a word/direction from God and then allow the Holy Spirit to just pour through them. When this happens and we open ourselves up to it, HE will always connect to us. That is what we experienced yesterday. The message was simple and powerful. What would you bring with you? What matters on this earth? Do you live in every moment as a representative of Christ? The foot of the cross is flat and all are welcome, however people won't come if they don't see us united and pouring out the light the God set inside us. Service came to a close, Pastor Derek offered to meet with guests, said a prayer and that was it! We walked out grabbed our elated kids & went over to meet the pastor. We felt that immediate personal connection and told him we want to make it our home! This review may sound too good to be true but it was just our experience. We know what we are looking for and it is all here at City Church. This is our new home!

  Have gone to this church for over 5 years but wont be going any more because of the way the youth ministry has treated my youngest daughter. I am done with this place!

• Ruth Dressler★★★★★3 years ago

  The pastor preaches from the Bible. Doesn't try to "tickle" the ears. Very practical. Personable, caring. Music is great and not too loud.

  Worst place ever. And they messed up the parking lot. They think they own the whole place. They block it off so you can't reach other businesses that have access and use that parking lot too. Not very friendly to the public when you do things like that.

• Bobby Gibson★★★★★9 years ago

  Just attended our first service and we really enjoyed the atmosphere and felt like "home" we will definitely be back... probably for good.
