Gathered is a quarterly sisterhood event meant to foster community and friendship among the women of West End. We gather at someone’s home and enjoy food and drinks while getting to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere.

At Christmas, we host an elegant dinner for the women of our church to come together and celebrate the joys of the season.

Every other year, West End offers a women’s retreat for a long weekend. It’s a time of fellowship, vulnerability and growth.

Summer Thrive brings us together for a time of community and encouragement. Over eight weeks, women enjoy hearing from a series of speakers, with the goal of knowing more about the bible and important topics related to our lives.

Paige Brown, a member of West End, leads studies about God by diving into books of the bible and Christian theology. These are eight-week studies that happen twice a year, on Wednesday mornings.

We also offer larger bible studies for the church and community to learn more about Jesus, Christianity and spiritual topics on Wednesdays in seasons where Paige does not teach.

Paige Brown is a member of West End and a gifted teacher. She is a graduate of the University of Mississippi and holds her Masters in Theological Studies from Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis. For years, she was on staff at Reformed University Fellowship at Vanderbilt and again at the University of Virginia. She was also a staff teacher at Park Cities Presbyterian Church in Dallas.

After living in Washington, D.C. and New York City, Paige and her husband, Reagan, and their three children relocated to Nashville. She leads groups, mainly women, through bible studies twice a year. In 2021, she will be a keynote speaker at the Gospel Coalition’s Women’s Conference in Indianapolis.

Paige and her family are a great blessing to West End and those interested in learning more about the bible.

Bible studies are chances to dive into books of the bible, cover topics the bible speaks into and learn more about Jesus. These large group teachings typically meet for around 6-12 weeks with different studies offered throughout the year.

Discipleship groups are the best way to be establish intimate community with others. These groups of 4-6 women meet weekly for 9 months as they study and grow spiritually. Unlike bible studies, discipleship groups are closed groups. If you want a close group of sisters who know you and your story, this is the place you’ll find it.

In a way, yes! We offer book studies on different spiritual topics. In the past, we’ve read books like “Ephesians: The Love We Long For” by Scotty Smith, “The Prodigal God” by Tim Keller, “Get Out of Your Head” by Jenny Allen and many others! You can find out when these book discussions are happening by looking under the Grow tab.

Mom’s Thrive is an event for moms to come together and better learn how to love their children well. Moms of all backgrounds, perspectives and faiths meet in a home and hear from a speaker, educator, counselor, or other expert on parenting topics.

It’s a great place to get to know other moms from your child’s school, support one another and gain parenting tools.

Prior to the pandemic, Moms Thrive groups met from Grassland, Scales, Percy Priest, Glendale and Harding Academy. We hope to begin again soon!
