Students

Fellowship Student Ministry (FSM) creates an environment where students are known and loved.

6th-12th graders are invited to join our primary FSM gathering on Wednesday nights from 6:30-8:30PM.

FSM at the Brentwood and Franklin campuses typically includes a large group, worship, biblical teaching, breakout time in small groups, and relational games.

FSM Calendar

Throughout the Fall and Spring semesters, we host weekly gatherings at the Brentwood and Franklin campuses. We also gather for special events such as monthly on/off-campus “Big Wednesdays,” weekend camps and retreats, and other fun outings.

*Please note, during the summer (Middle of May–Beginning of August) we still gather, but on a semi-regular basis, due to our global mission trips. Summer events will be kept up to date on our all-church calendar here.

 

242 Groups

FSM desires each of our students to experience an equipping community that allows them to wrestle with the truth of the gospel and how it impacts everyday life. We create space for our students to be courageously real and authentically known in relationships with others in what we call “242 Groups” (named after Acts 2:42). These small groups are open and available to all and led by 1-3 adult leaders, divided up by grade and gender.

They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. (Acts 2:42)

Mission Trips

FSM mission trips are a great opportunity for our students to live out our Fellowship mission of "becoming a community of people who follow Jesus with our whole heart and help others do the same."

Each year our middle school students have the opportunity to serve in Atlanta, GA, on a trip called Flannel Project and our high schoolers have the opportunity to serve in Guatemala, Peru, and Slovenia!

All mission trip teams will go through a 3 to 6 month training and support raising process in preparation for going to serve.

The Mission Trip Applications for Summer 2026 are OPEN and close Sunday, December 14th. Apply here!

For questions about the application process email Stephanie Todd at .

Camps

Fellowship Student Ministry believes in the value of fun—creating an environment where students feel safe through shared experiences. We know life can be hard and feel heavy, and often it seems like there is no relief. That’s why FSM Camps and Retreats are designed to help students laugh, have fun, and be themselves with friends—all while digging deeper into God’s Word. We provide 3-4 camps throughout our calendar year for students to attend and hope that your student would join us in the fun of getting away!

Baptism

Baptism is one of the two ordinances instituted and commanded by Jesus for believers. It is an outward symbol of an inward life change and a celebration of becoming part of the body of Christ. Because we believe in the profession of faith, we require all students who desire to be baptized at Fellowship to meet with a staff member in order to determine their understanding and readiness.

Fellowship Student Ministry typically has two Wednesday Nights a year focused on baptism. Along with those Wednesday nights, students are welcome to be baptized in a baptism service on Sunday Morning, during a special all-church evening worship and prayer gathering, or in a smaller setting with family and friends. If you are interested in being baptized, fill out this form, and a staff person will contact you to set up a meeting!

Monty Spurgeon

Associate Pastor of Family Ministry

Monty Spurgeon

Associate Pastor of Family Ministry
Monty serves as the Associate Pastor of Family Ministry, helping lead our church-wide Family Ministry alongside Marty. After six years focused on Student Ministry, he now oversees both Kids and Student Ministries across campuses—developing staff, shaping strategy, and creating space for kids, students, and families to encounter Jesus. Monty is originally from a small town in Texas. He earned a degree in Biblical Studies from Dallas Baptist University and is currently pursuing a master’s at Dallas Theological Seminary. During college, he spent his summers at Pine Cove Camps—a place that shaped his faith, clarified his calling, and, as the running joke goes, introduced him to his wife in year five. After graduating, Monty joined Pine Cove’s full-time staff and served there for five years before stepping into local church ministry. Molly, a Tennessee native and proud University of Tennessee grad (Go Vols!), has been by his side since 2014. They now live in South Nashville with their three kids: Addie, Shep, and Wes. Monty is passionate about theology, leadership development, and helping people step more fully into the life God has called them to live. He believes that discipleship is most powerful when it’s rooted in Scripture, lived out in relationships, and guided by the Spirit. When he’s not at church, you’ll likely find him on the golf course, flipping pancakes on the Blackstone, or getting pulled into an impromptu living room dance party with his kids. He considers it a deep joy to serve at Fellowship and to walk alongside our families and leaders.
