  We found TDF a couple of years ago, and it has been such a blessing to our family. I often describe it as a “healthy” church—something that can be hard to find, even with so many great churches in the Nashville area. …

  Came here today. My wife is at a conference so I came to.church because I really liked their principals on their website. Youth Take over and the kids did Great. The last song with the Two last singers was amazing. Their voice blend so we'll. I got here 30 min early, people said hello but never spoke up and asked me about me or my visit there. At 6'5 330lbs it's hard to miss my presence. That was my only dissapotment

• ADDRESS THAT HANDLE YOU PUBLISHING★☆☆☆☆a year ago

  Every church has its cliques. If you don’t join, you will not get the biblical support you need and nor will you ever have a church home without simply becoming a fixture only because you believe in Christ.

  Great church and the staff really cares for each person who comes through their doors.

  Stand out, rare, crazy legit, community serving, care for others gathering here! I have met a couple hundred pastors over the years, but Pastor Tommy is a stand out legit leader. Humble and caring. Truly loves others and inspired me. Great facility, busy schedule, new carpets--but they opened the doors and serve the community amidst the tornado recovery operations. Go check it out--you will be blessed and inspired at a place as legit and caring as tdf!

  My family relocated here from Egypt in 1999. We were refugees from South Sudan fleeing the war that was taking place in our country between Christians and Muslims .This was the first church we attended with my family I was only 10 at the time. We later met a family that attended the church and they would become our God parents. We love this church ,I’ve never felt more loved and at home when I came here. I am 29 years old today. I got married here at the TDF in July 2015. Ms. Lisa helped coordinate what turned out to be 300 plus people attending and every single person was amazed with the way the wedding was coordinated. I love the people here so much I will never forget how much this church means to me and our family. Pastor Jeff Nickels and His wife Debbie are just the best!. I love pastor Robs sermons if I am not at church I am watching from home. From Easter Egg hunt celebration to Christmas shows during the holidays Donelson is the best ! May God continue to bless this church because they have been a blessing to us.

  Amazing church. Teaching is excellent, and it’s the most welcoming and inviting church I’ve ever been to.

  I have never stepped a foot inside this church. I have friends that attend. When I was in need in the worse way this Church Community came together and helped me, no questions asked. They just did it. I am not one to ask for help, they offered without my asking . Why ? I ask myself this all the time. The answer I get back if because I love you. It was hard for me to swallow my pride and accept the help they provided to me. I am not a church goer, I have never felt comfortable inside a church. This one practices what they preach. They have showed kindness, generosity, love to perfect strangers and have asked for nothing in return. Their only concern was for my family and myself. THANK YOU TO YOU ALL

  This is a wonderful church. My wife and I have been going here for a long time and have felt a tremendous amount of the love of Christ pouring from the TDF staff.

  The atmosphere is kind, inviting, and very hopeful. The members are not intimidating or rude if you don't have experience with church and they welcome questions with bright smiles and kind answers. The pastors are very intelligent and warm to any new comers and explain what they believe in very well. The aren't afraid of people who don't agree and will have kind conversations with you if you would like to discuss your different beliefs. I recommend this church to anyone who is looking for purpose in their life and a place to plug in. They have many great programs for all ages groups. They have classes for babies, preschool, elementary, middle school, high school, college aged, adults, and the elderly. The youth ministry are exciting and welcoming and really get to what they believe in in services and classes. They don't force you to answer questions or sing during worship or play games if you don't want to. They do want to get to know anyone who comes and want to help you get to know your age group and help you understand your faith. They really have an amazing passion for children and teens and want to help them with as much as they can. You don't have to talk to everyone if you come but I would really recommend talking to the youth pastor, Aaron Pontious, who is grounded in what he believes in and is a great example. He is very kind and welcoming and doesn't make you feel stupid if you don't know the Bible. He is very close with the teens and you can tell he cares about them a lot. He will answer any questions you have and has a great team helping him who are passionate about their work. The kids ministry is very good! They explain the Bible very well to kids and are all gifted to help children learn and have fun too. The kids pastor Steve greenwood is great with kids he's interactive, attentive, and fun. He talks to the kids like he's their friend but at the same time is very respected by them. He works very hard to make sure they gain knowledge, stay safe, and make friendship with kids their age. Tdf has Sunday services at 8:30 am , 9:45 am (with classes for teens downstairs this hour), and 10:00 am. With classes at night on sundays and Wednesday night services for youth and kids starting at 6:30 pm. Don't hesitate to come here! My family and I love it and have been very welcomed. While we've been here we all gained amazing life long friendships and have had amazing fellowship during the worship ( which is out of this world good!!) There is also a Hispanic church that meets there after the third service and they are also plugged in, in the youth groups as well. This church has help my family grow closer and stronger. It is amazing! There is so much more about it that I love! Their website is very helpful and they also have a Facebook page and instagram if you Have any questions they would be happy to answer them through Facebook, instagram, their website, or emails with can be found on their website. Highly recommend to people who need to find a home church or anyone who hasn't been plugged in at a church but is curious about Christianity. They are informative and don't make you feel dumb or uneducated if you don't know a lick about Christ or churches. Their welcome team can lead you to anywhere you need to be the their two welcome centers can answer questions and/or give directions as well. Amazing church! Definitely recommend

  I love Pastor Rob Morgan! His messages and books have been a help and blessing to me many times over. Whenever I am in Nashville visiting with family, I always visit Donnelson Fellowship. I leave blessed by the music and message, and the people are friendly and welcoming!

  I dont come here for service or to church, but I did find this place back when the tornado hit nashville hard!! I was donating supplies and waters and this place had everything in a good way. They were very organized, helping everyone that came in, giving food, supplies to needed and would give you shelter.

  If you are looking for freedom, purpose, and fulfillment in Christ, I would encourage to visit this church. You will find people who love you and are ready to help you in any way that they can.

  A very good place to meet up and learn. I like the singing and friendly people. I always feel better after I visit; even "energized".

• Eric Bunch★★★★★4 years ago

  I love it. Even as a large church I always feel welcomed. I'm far from a saint and I feel like they actually care I'm there.

• Erin Dunlap★★★★★3 years ago

  Wonderful church for all ages! Also has a small but growing special needs ministry!

• Kelley Roberson★★★★☆7 years ago

  This is a good church. Great community. I dont always love the music because it's not traditional but that's ok.
