The 95th Holiday Waffle Shop was today and it was awesome. Waffles with Nashville hot chicken were a favorite of course. Silent auction and a bake sale too. Looking forward to next year!The church is so rich in history and the Egyptian Revival architecture is fascinating. A great church to visit on Sunday or during the Nashville art crawls.
An excellent example of the early architecture of Nashville. I was once given a guided tour by a good friend who worked there. They were very detailed in the explanation of the construction and even more detailed when describing the the future plans for the management of the beautiful and well maintained old structure. And of course there were the other stories... Actual local truths that had occurred and in some way or another had an impact on the church... Or those almost a little too far fetched and possibly a tad bit frightening at the same time, ones that you sincerely hope are entirely fictional, but know full well in the back of your mind that there is a little bit of truth in every story Of course i dont recall any of it really it was an awful long time ago... And i was a lot younger and maybe didnt pay as much attention as i should have to the truely beautiful and interesting things in life like the history behind the Downtown Presbyterian Church.So go see some of the old architecture when youre here. Theyre like a well-kept local secret hidden in plain sight. And please people weve already convinced the poor tourists that peddle taverns are a good idea, do we have to have a Party Fire Truck ? Yeah I saw it. Its as real as any of the other constructs in this dimension anyway.
I LOVE this church. I got married in this beautifully historic sanctuary, and also was so blessed to use almost all of the building for my wedding portrait. Michael Arwood, the wedding coordinator, was amazing, as well as Dena Swoner, who helped us with the contracts, scheduling, and many other details. The people here are so very kind and welcoming. We would not have wanted anything more for our special day. We also love to come here for speakers and live music. I have met Nadia Bolz-Weber here, as well as some of the most eclectic underground jazz pianists and instrumentalists. Patty Griffin recorded her album Downtown Church in the sanctuary. The acoustics are incredible there and in the chapel. Many other artists have recorded in this sacred space, but the Patty one is extra special because my husband and I claim one of the songs, Little Fire as our song. When we got married, I was able to sing it right where Patty did. And thats just a few of the great things about this church...LOVE. (Photo credit David and Bradley Thomas)
Good pipe organ music and beautiful small choir singing on Sunday service at 11:00am. Before service, you can have a cup of coffee to warm up.
Beautiful sanctuary. People very warm and friendly.
We go here on Saturday mornings to help feed the homeless its an amazing group of christians doing a wonderful thing!!!!
Our job had event her. Nice Place
Wonderful service and sermon! We felt welcomed and very comfortable. When we visit Nashville we will definitely return to worship here.
An historical wonder that is well worth maki g time to visit. It is helpful to know the backstory to understand why there is an Egyptian revival building in downtown Nashville, let alone, one that is a Presbyterian church. There is a small historical display within, that is worth visiting. I am sorry I was not able to be present for Sunday services
A beautiful place to worship. And the choir is the best in the city!
This church has quickly become a anti-community establishment. Recently, theyve placed more Gates and fencing around the church, keeping visitors and others away while placing signs all around their premise Private Property No Trespassing. Ive never seen a church closing itself off as much as this one is recently, which speaks volumes for the people inside that run it.
My dad reads the Bell here sometime :-) been going here 489 years I think or something close to that
A168 year old jewel amongst rapidly advancing, all consuming growth thats taking over Nashville. The Egyptian themed sanctuary is stunning.
Great breakfast on Saturday morning for the public
My girlfriend and I visited this church one weekend while in town for a wedding. The service was very intimate and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
I attended this church for an event. It is beautiful! Go take a tour!
Beautiful building with much history within it.
They feed the Homeless and preach the gospel
Its a great way to start the day with the Lord
Attended an event here. Friendly warm and inclusive group.
