The Harpeth House is located on the north side of their property at 1215 Hillsboro Road. It’s a stand-alone, single-level, 12,000-square-foot building designed as dedicated space for student ministries, serving our community’s middle and high school students in grades 6-12. The design prioritizes small group meeting spaces, with eight such dedicated rooms, and a 3,000-square-foot large group gathering space. The house additionally features a large, secondary indoor meeting space that is a combination den, gaming room, and kitchen, along with outdoor gathering spaces, including a covered porch adjacent to a firepit and outdoor recreation areas.

“The heart behind this project is simple: we want the Harpeth House at Christ Community to be a place of respite for the students of Williamson County to know and serve Christ,” says Ken Leggett, Associate Pastor for Christ Community. “It’s right there in the name: the Harpeth River flows throughout our entire county, bringing life everywhere it goes, and we hope this Harpeth House—the biggest home in the area—is an extension of that refreshment and hospitality.”

The $5.5 million facilities are made possible by the congregation’s financial commitments through the church’s RISE  & BUILD campaign. Planning and preparations for the youth house began in 2015, with the public phase of the capital campaign kicked off in January 2019.

In their present location on Hillsboro Road since 2001, Christ Community Church has been serving Franklin, continuing to grow and being a vital part of the community for more than 30 years. Learn more about Christ Community Church here.
