Deacon Ministries

Andra is the current liaison for Congregational Care. 

Raised in Texas, Andra came to Christ as a freshman at the University of Oklahoma. Being a part of a local church body,  a community in which to learn, grow, fellowship and serve, has always been important to her. She enjoys cooking, sewing, reading and gardening. 

James is the current liaison for Facilities.

James accepted Christ as his Savior in 1971, while serving aboard ship in the U.S.Navy. He worked in direct and retail sales after graduating from MTSU in 1978. He and his wife, Karen, call Nolensville home. They’ve attended Christ Fellowship since 2001 after a mission trip to Croatia. They have one daughter in Nashville and a son, daughter-in-law and two incredible grandchildren who also attend Christ Fellowship.

Travis is the current liaison for Security.

Travis grew up in North Carolina where he made a decision to trust in Christ for salvation at a young age.  He moved to Tennessee in 2007 where he met his wife, Charity.  They now have 2 boys, Clark and Luke.  Travis enjoys family time, bladesmithing, and fly fishing, all while drinking coffee.

Kathleen is the current liaison for Music.

Originally from Minnesota, Kathleen has made Nashville her home since 1992 where she and her husband, Kip, have raised four children. They’ve made Christ Fellowship their home church for the majority of their years in Nashville. Even though Kathleen grew up going to church, it wasn’t until the fifth grade when she clearly understood that Jesus died for her sins personally and that it required faith on her part to have a relationship with Him. It was during that time that she began her lifelong love of studying the Bible and walking daily with Him. Kathleen loves people, stories, conversation, music, flowers, sunsets over water, and being with family and friends.  

Eric is the current liaison for Men’s Ministry.

Eric came to faith in Christ at a very young age while growing up in a Christian home.  He has lived in different parts of the country but has made Franklin, TN, his home for the last 24 years. He and his wife Lisa have three kids. He enjoys spending time with his family, going on adventures, working on their land, and building fires. He also ministers to others through financial planning. He considers the church his extended family. 

Carrie is the current liaison for Children’s Ministry.
