At Rock of Ages Lutheran Church, we believe that everyone needs a place to call home. Since 1971, we’ve been honored to share the hope and peace of God’s Word with the Nashville community and beyond. Our heart for others has even helped us plant three "daughter" congregations across Middle Tennessee and another in Memphis, extending our reach of care and community. Nestled in a quiet Madison neighborhood since 1976—just a short drive from I-65 and Gallatin Pike—our church is a peaceful retreat from the bustle of daily life.

Rock of ages is a congregation with both long time and new members from many different walks of life and backgrounds. Our members enjoy the fellowship and "family-feel" of our congregation.

We are part of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), which is a group of more than 330,000 men, women, and children in nearly 1,300 congregations across the United States and Canada united by a common faith in Christ’s saving love. We are committed to a common calling—encouraging each other in our faith and sharing God’s gift of a Savior with the rest of the world.

WELS World Missions conducts and encourages gospel outreach in 49 countries and is exploring outreach opportunities in 16 prospective new mission fields.

What We Believe

"Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock." (Matthew 7:24)
In an ever changing world, the truths of our Christian faith remain constant.
Here is a quick summary of some of those truths:

The Bible is God's Word. It is absolute truth - free of error and as relevant for our lives today as it was the day it was written. We strive to teach no more and no less than what the Bible teaches.

We believe that the God of the Bible is the only true God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Only through faith in Jesus Christ do we have a relationship with the one true God.

We believe that we are people like you - who were born in sin, have continued in that sin, and owe a debt because of that sin to God. We cannot begin to pay that debt back - no matter how hard we try.

We believe that we are people like you, whom Jesus Christ rescued from all the consequences of sin through his life, death, and resurrection for the world. We believe that the forgiveness of sins and eternal life Jesus won for the world are offered to us in the means of grace - God's Word, Baptism, and the Lord's Supper.

We receive these gifts by faith.

We are committed to sharing the good news of Jesus with those in our congregation as well as with our community.
