1960: As the area south of Nashville continued to grow, the church saw the need to expand its facilities again to meet the needs of the area. In 1958, the congregation decided to move to a 6.5 –acre site located on Raywood Lane and changed the name to Hillcrest Methodist Church. Ground was broken on June 14, 1959, with opening services held on January 3, 1960. Since this initial move, more buildings have been added to this campus over the years. Here at Hillcrest, we seek to live as Christ’s disciples, renewed by God’s word, Worship, Service and Community. We have a rich legacy of faithful service dating back to a log chapel William Thompson built almost 200 years ago.
