The Salvation Army Berry Street Worship Center is Nashville’s participatory church. The Sunday morning meetings are conducted more like a support group than a church meeting with each person free to share testimonies, Scriptures, praise reports, insights, gifts of the Spirit, and prayer requests.
This type of church meeting is hard to describe to someone who hasn’t experienced it. However, here is an acrostic that attempts to describe Berry Street.
B-Beautiful
E-Exciting
R-Real
R-Raw
Y-Yearning for God
S-Spiritual
T-Thanksgiving
R-Reaching out in love
E-Encouraging
E-Engaging
T-Tweetable
Come experience Berry Street for yourself — Sundays at 10:45 / 225 Berry Street /Nashville /37207.
