Following The Way of Jesus
Growing in The Truth of Jesus
Experiencing The Life of Jesus
Together in Nashville, TN
Welcome to The Way Nashville!
Wherever you are in your spiritual journey, whether you're deeply rooted in your faith, exploring new questions, or simply looking for a space to grow, you’re welcome here. This is a place where curiosity, honesty, and belonging come before having it all figured out.
You don’t have to pretend or believe perfectly here. You just have to show up as you are.
Sunday Gatherings
We meet in person most Sundays at 5:00 PM (CST). It’s casual, meaningful, and open to anyone.
Who We Are
The Way is a spiritual community for those seeking depth, connection, and a more honest way of living out faith. We’re shaped by the wide diversity of the Christian tradition, and we gather as equals. Every person has value and a place here. Our life together leans on the contemplative side of faith, making space for prayer, reflection, and a slower rhythm with God.
We don’t gather around easy answers. We gather around grace, mystery, and the shared pursuit of something deeper.
Each week, we practice a faith that’s spacious and grounded through:
Prayers — ancient and honest
Scripture — wrestled with and rooted in love
Sacraments — experiences of grace where we are
Spiritual practices — rhythms that form us
There’s room for your story here.
Leaders
Zach and Kayla are the founders of The Way and help shape the heart, rhythm, and direction of the community. Zach guides the Sunday gatherings and draws from his work as a spiritual director to create space for questions, healing, deeper reflection, and real transformation. His faith has been formed by a wide range of Christian traditions and by contemplative practices that help us slow down and notice God.
Kayla brings a grounding presence, a gift for deep listening, and a natural sense of hospitality. She helps create gatherings where people feel cared for and at home, whether through planning, offering support, or simply making sure there is coffee, warmth, and welcome in the room. Together, they seek to cultivate a community shaped by contemplation, honesty, grace, and love.
