I’ve attended Experience in Tullahoma since it first started in November 2022 and I knew the moment I walked in the door I was at home. When you walk in you are greeted by friendly smiling faces, you’ll see Pastor Joe walking around meeting and talking with people. We go through the Bible book by book, chapter by chapter. The worship music is beautiful! We have an amazing children’s ministry and life groups you can be a part of. The relationships I have made here are precious to me. We are a family. If you are looking for a Church home, come visit us Sunday at 9am or 11am.

I have been attending The Experience Tullahoma for over a year now. It is such a friendly and welcoming church! The children’s ministry program is fantastic. They encourage everyone to serve, and it helps to meet others and find your place in the church. They also encourage Life Groups (small groups) to have a close-knit group to help you navigate life, work through the Word, and walk next to each other in your spiritual walk. The pastor is always walking around talking to everyone on Sundays and is very approachable. I thoroughly enjoy the method of teaching, called expository teaching, where we go chapter by chapter and verse by verse through the Bible. I have never learned more or been as excited to learn more as I have been at The Experience Community Church in Tullahoma. Check it out on Sundays at 9am or 11am!

The Experience Community Church has changed my life and my walk with Christ. From the moment I walked into this church I was greeted with smiling faces and warm hospitality. The preaching is strictly Biblical, the music is awesome, they have a great children's program and youth program. There is an authentic worship and community among the people who attend this church. So blessed to have found a church that encourages you on every level.

I absolutely love The Experience Community Church! After searching for a church home for most of my adult life, I have finally found it. The moment you approach the building, you are greeted by kind people. The pastor and congregation are welcoming, friendly, and make you feel right at home. I eagerly look forward to attending every Sunday! If you're seeking a church family, I highly recommend visiting The Experience Community of Tullahoma.

Here you will find an authentic community of Jesus followers. I'm so thankful for each person on team at ECC & how they're impactful to my family. If you're exploring faith or looking for a church home, here you will find a community who genuinely loves one another & who thirst to honor the Lord through our journey together. A few of the things that I appreciate most from the worship services here are: * Adherence to Scripture through solid, gifted teaching * A well organized process, which creates a clear path for people to truly become part of the community (This helps take away that awkward stage of fumbling around like an outsider until someone accepts you in.) * The music & general atmosphere during services are really conducive to create opportunities to worship together. Searching for a church home is hard! If you're reading this in genuine search for where God wants you to be....I'd love to share a bit of encouragement. There are a number of great churches in the area who serve Jesus well. God is big enough to help you find the place where you belong among them. An observation to embrace as you search: the most joyful believers that I've encountered all share a similar characteristic. They each approach church with the heart of asking what they can give to help make it better. Whereas, some of the most unhappy believers I've encountered at various churches all seem to focus instead on what they get out of it. When we come to the Lord with an open heart, He is faithful to give what we need (and usually what we want too). I pray God's favor & discernment for you as you seek Him.

I am incredibly glad my family and I found this church. The staff and volunteers are very welcoming from the moment you step into the building. I am a mother of two children (ages 6 & 10) and their children's ministry is wonderful. You can tell the teachers genuinely care about the children when they take the time to learn their names and get to know them individually. I also love the secured check in and check out process that the children's ministry follows. It gives me assurance knowing they care about who is picking my children up from class. During the service, I love that they do expository teaching of the bible. This is actually the first church that I have ever been to that does this. For those that do not know, expository teaching is going through books of the bible verse by verse / line by line. It helps me tremendously in understanding the word and gaining context. Last but certainly not least, the worship team is AMAZING!!! If you are looking for a church home.. PLEASE check them out! You will not be disappointed!

Pastor Joe is very relational. And excellent speaker. Has a very kind & loving heart. The church is super friendly. And they have a very large children’s program. And active growing youth program. It’s easy to plug into whatever it is you wish to be a part of. Making believers & discipleship.

So thankful for this church! First and foremost, the teaching is Biblical. Their principles align with the Word and they do not stray. Beautiful and inviting atmosphere as well as a very real and authentic community. I always feel welcome and surrounded by other people who love Jesus.

Found this church in November 23. Love it. I love that had amazing children programs, youth and they believe in doing life together through small groups and life groups. Every Sunday they dive in to a book of bible and we go through chapter by chapter. We are currently studying book of Galatians. If looking for a church come check us out. Would love to pray with you or save you a seat. Have a cup of coffee and get to know you. They have made my transition from California amazing. I knew nobody moving here and many have become family. . I hope you find love of Jesus . He loves you and you are Worthy.

What a wonderful church! I have definitely found some incredible people I am fortunate to say are my church family! They are a come as you are church. Any attire is acceptable. They use expository teaching, which is reading through an entire book not picking and jumping around in the Bible , and the music is wonderful.
