The Belonging Co

This church was absolutely amazing. It was both a privilege and a blessing to attend the 9:00 AM service on Sunday, February 8th, 2026. The worship team was outstanding, and the presence of God was undeniable. This is a Bible-believing, Spirit-filled church with a clear heart for discipleship—growing believers, sharing the gospel, and raising up men and women who boldly preach the Word. They stand firmly on truth, acknowledging sin without compromising Scripture, yet they love people deeply through Christ. That balance—truth and love—is rare in many places today. It is easy to see why this church is growing. It was a sincere pleasure to attend, and may God continue to bless this church, their pastors, and the entire worship team. It was truly a Spirit-moving service—one of the most impactful services I have ever attended. Herb and Bev Canning, Newfoundland, Canada

From the front doors on in they are super friendly and helpful. I didn’t realize it was a Pentecostal church until near the end of the service. The person I went to for prayer was a bit off putting as instead of praying they were seemingly trying to diagnose me. Sometimes you just want to have a moment of prayer. I enjoyed the music even though it was setting my Apple Watch off as the music was well over 100 decibels. It’s a great community if you’re looking for a Pentecostal church I’d recommend it if you’re able to do the drive into Nashville.

My first time going to a Christian concert…and wow. I haven’t had much exposure to Belonging Co outside of what my own church sings of theirs and it still felt like home. The music was great. The mini message was moving. To be in the house of the Lord with other people outside of my home church was… I can’t even begin to describe it. Amazing. So good!!!

1st time visitor…it was GREAT! The people, the Word and the accessibility. Also, 2 days later, the Pastor called me personally and thanked me for attending. Cool Beans!!

After 6+ years deeply involved at TBCo, here's what I observed: - A subtle but persistent "we're where the Spirit is moving" culture that positioned TBCo as superior to other churches, making leaving feel like leaving God himself - The Sunday experience was clearly optimized around first-time seekers having an "encounter," not around forming or deeply shepherding an existing community - Celebrities and successful people were intentionally elevated and platformed, with wealth and success treated as markers of spiritual credibility - Their stated values ("Presence Over Presentation, Intimacy Over Industry, People Over Position") looked nothing like their million-dollar conference productions, celebrity platforming (100k paid speaker fees btw), and Capitol Music partnerships. The values read less like a description of who they are and more like a disclaimer for who they know they are. - Theology was routinely reshaped to fit prosperity and Word of Faith frameworks rather than historic Christian teaching. Tithing talks regularly followed a Word of Faith pattern where people gave testimonies of financial breakthrough directly after giving to the church, framing generosity to TBCo as a financial investment with divine returns. - Faith was consistently positioned as an emotion, and emotional intensity treated as synonymous with genuine devotion. They often treat “faith” as a spiritual force, akin to new age manifestation. (Mikhael Stenhammar and Remnant Radio have good content on this from a charismatic viewpoint) - Preaching was TedTalks themeology, not theology. Verses were pulled out of context to support a predetermined theme rather than actually teaching a passage. One leader would recycle the same 5 sermons constantly. - Sermons followed a consistent pattern of making you feel like trash, then offering "breakthrough" and blessing as the fix, creating an emotional dependency on the experience and the church providing it. - There was virtually no theology of suffering or grief. Disappointment (grief) was treated as a spiritual problem to overcome and be quickly fixed, never something to sit in or be shepherded through. I never once heard Job preached. - Formation, discipleship and real teaching consistently took a back seat to emotional experiences and altar calls, as if a powerful moment could substitute for actual growth. - The “flowing” in worship was often preplanned, rehearsed, and formulaic rather than authentic spontaneity. - Volunteer culture felt more like a motivational pipeline to get more out of people than genuine care for them. Volunteer conferences were aimed at getting more committed with serving than actually making space for rest. - If you raised honest, humble questions or concerns, it wasn’t uncommon to be treated like you had a heart problem rather than a legitimate perspective - People who left were regularly spoken about negatively, even from stage, creating a culture where questioning or leaving felt like betrayal (see Chuck DeGroat's work on this pattern) - A scandal among members was quietly minimized and glossed over rather than handled with transparency, causing some people I know to leave. - The church is governed by a board of directors (often simply successful business men) focused on growth metrics, not a biblical plurality of accountable elders focused on the health of the congregation - Overall culture feels somewhat cult-like, where people love "church" more than God himself. I know because I sadly got wrapped up in this. - There’s a reason why so many of the original core members have left, including leaders and notable celebrities. I gave 2 stars because at the very least the name of Jesus is being praised on some level. I’m still a practicing charismatic . I love Jesus. I believe in being a part of the Church. I’m not a bitter deconstructionist. I encourage anyone checking out any church to: - Be honest with why you may be attracted to the church - Do your own balanced theological research (not just reading books from celebrity charismatic preachers) before planting in a church

When we were moving our sons to Nashville three years ago now, we worked through several weeks/weekends finding them a place to rent together. The first church we visited was The Belonging Co; and we were immediately overwhelmed with REAL! Obviously they carry a powerful music experience in their worship to the Lord. But they are also steeped in the Word of God - the book and the person of Jesus. It is also not “one personality” driven. From what we have experienced, it seems that most -if not all- their leadership is very much full of the Spirit of God in truth and Spirit. As parents, we couldn’t be more encouraged, proud and trusting of a body of believers to be alongside our sons as they continue to grow in this season of their life journey in Jesus Christ.

I had an excellent time at this church tonight. I am a small church kind of guy from Phoenix who was just in town for business. I was looking for a place to do something on a Tuesday night, and they had a fantastic option. I recommend that you go here willing to talk and meet people, maybe after the service just ask people how the sermon spoke to them. This allowed me to make friends and connections in my one time stop here.
