New Service Building
A home for the next generation of St. Verena
Our mission is to live out our Orthodox Christian faith while sharing the beauty of Orthodoxy with the Nashville community. Our vision is to build a service building that reflects our commitment to serving both our church family and the greater Nashville community.
Since purchasing our church in 2018, the growth in both the number of congregation members and the scope of services has led us to dream of a space that not only meets today's needs but prepares us for generations to come. For years, we've envisioned a facility that would help us be a beacon of Christ's light to the local community and provide the next generation with resources to excel spiritually, socially, and academically.
God willing, the service building will include
- A full-size sports court (basketball and indoor soccer)
- 12 Sunday School classrooms
- Facilities for children's daycare
- A monastery-style chapel
- A parish library
- A cozy study and coffee area
Why this building matters
- Support our youth. With more children and teens than ever, we need space for play, mentorship, and faith: indoor sports, youth nights, and Sunday School.
- Expand our service ministries. Room to grow outreach like Room in the Inn, our winter shelter for the unhoused, and to host more service initiatives year-round.
- Strengthen our community life. From spiritual retreats to weddings, fellowship, and education, a vibrant hub for parish life and hospitality.
How you can help
- Pray for God's guidance and for the service at St. Verena.
- Give generously. Every gift brings us closer to making this vision a reality.
- Share this vision with your family, friends, and church network.
"Then everyone came whose heart was stirred, and everyone whose spirit was willing, and they brought the Lord's offering for the work of the tabernacle of meeting... The children of Israel brought a freewill offering to the Lord, all the men and women whose hearts were willing." (Exodus 35)
