Not really into church?
You’re not alone.
Goodly is a church in Nashville for people who want to grow their faith in a way that feels honest, grounded, and free of pressure. If church has felt complicated, you are welcome here, just as you are.
For some, church is painful. For others, it can be confusing, exhausting, or quietly disappointing.
Maybe you have wondered whether you would fit in. Whether anyone would be friendly. Whether Jesus would even be there.
If any of that sounds familiar, you're not broken. You're human. And you are not the only one who feels that way.
We understand, and we’re building something different.
We know what it's like to want more of God but feel unsure of how to get there. People come to Goodly perhaps hurt by church, curious about whether God is still real, or simply carrying honest questions, and they find a place where they are truly seen.
That's why we're building a church culture that promotes safety, authenticity, and truth, while welcoming the hungry and the humble.
On Sundays you'll find worship, accessible teaching from the Bible, and prayer if you'd like it. Our pastors, Alyn and AJ Jones, bring a combined 40 years of ministry, and they'd love to meet you.
Plan a visit. It’s simple.
1. Pick a Sunday to visit.
Any Sunday will do. You’ll always receive a warm welcome.
2. Show up at 11 AM.
You’ll find us at 15512 Old Hickory Blvd, Nashville, TN 37211. If you’ve got kids, Goodly Kids check-in opens at 10:45 AM.
3. Move at your own pace.
No need to dress up. Sit anywhere. No one is going to single you out or pressure you to participate. You’re free to come, observe, and leave when you’re ready.
Here’s what’s possible.
Another Sunday doing faith alone is an option. But it doesn’t have to be the only one.
People who’ve walked in cautious tell us they felt welcomed right away, that they and their kids were truly seen, and that they found real community and the peace of God's presence. That's what's possible here: a place to belong, to encounter God, and to grow, at your own pace.
There’s no rush here.
Some people want to visit in person right away. Others want to take their time and get a feel for things first. Both are completely okay. If you want to check us out a little before coming in person, here’s a list of our recent sermons. Or if you have a question, concern, or just want to reach out before visiting, you can email us at hello@goodly.church or send us a text at (615) 685-2871.
