On-site Programming Suspended Until Further Notice
But we have some great programming exclusively online!
While this Christmas season looks a little different this year, we are looking forward to celebrating Advent. We invite you to download our Advent Prayers 2020 eBook for four weeks of daily directed readings and prayers. We pray this resource will give our church a rich well to draw from during this season as we consider the incarnation of Jesus.
You can follow along and download your copy at advent.thevillagechapel.com.
Join us as we welcome the Christmas season with a special Outdoor Advent Hymn Sing on December 4 at 6:30pm in the upper lot of our Hillsboro Village Campus. We will sing together some of the most beloved and well-known Christmas carols, and perhaps a few that we’ll learn for the first time. Come join the TVC family as we kick-off the season with our TVC musicians including Phil Keaggy and other special guests. This will be a wonderful time to celebrate the birth of our Savior in a socially-distanced fashion. Bring your lawn chairs, blankets and warm beverages.
While event registration is at capacity, we invite you to join us on TVC Online to stream the event from your home.
One of our favorite events each year is the Christmas Market in our historic chapel. While 2020 has brought many unexpected challenges we don’t want to miss the opportunity to support our TVC artisans who count on markets and festivals to provide income. This year’s event will look different than previous years, we’ll be featuring 12 TVC Artisans, one each day with an exclusive product or offer just for TVC’s 12 Days of Christmas Online Market. We hope you’ll do some Christmas shopping each day December 4-15 at thevillagechapel.com/12daysofchristmas.
As we approach the holiday season, so many of us are listening to beloved Christmas classics. Join us for our next Friday Night Chats as we welcome songwriter and TVCer Keith Getty as he unpacks the history and stories behind some of the most cherished carols of Christmas. Keith Getty has written countless hymns for the global church that we enjoy singing at TVC including “In Christ Alone”. This conversation will be hosted by Pastor Jim and Pastor Tommy.
You can gather with us on TVC Online on Friday, December 18 at 6:30pm for this special conversation.
Mrs. Jamie will be leading our TVC Kids through a special Christmas reading of Unwrapping the Greatest Gift by Ann Voskamp. Join us beginning December 1 through December 25 on our TVC Kids Instagram and YouTube pages to view these daily videos.

Are you looking to get more involved at TVC and grow stronger in your faith? TVC Home Groups are one of the best ways to connect and find deeper community (often right in your neighborhood!) that goes beyond our Sunday worship services. You can choose from a variety of groups based on location (with several groups meeting online this semester), age or stage and study. Each group involves a time of fellowship, discussion and prayer. Learn more at homegroups.thevillagechapel.com.
You can now listen to “Daily Devotions with Pastor Jim Thomas” wherever podcasts are available (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, etc.). Each morning, he will share a reading from one of his favorite authors and thinkers. We invite you to join us Monday through Saturday for this brief 10 minutes of teaching and reflection.
You can watch the daily videos on YouTube, Facebook or Instagram.
TVC Youth – join us this fall for Youth Group. These nights are full of socially distanced fellowship, games and laughs! We meet each Wednesday at 6 pm in the Chapel of our Hillsboro Village Campus. Be sure to bring a mask! To learn more and join us, email ryan@thevillagechapel.com.
Many of us are looking for ways to serve our community through this time of “social distancing”. We have compiled a list of projects you can complete with your family from the safety of your own home to serve the missions we support. Learn more here.
The Lord’s Supper has been given to God’s people as a gift, instituted by Jesus with his disciples around the table in the upper room. With thankfulness we remember the sacrifice of Jesus on our behalf as we also anticipate his return to make all things new. Some streams of the Christian faith call this meal the Eucharist, which comes from the Latin eucharistia, which means thanksgiving!
During this season of mandated social distancing, we invite you to gather all of those in your household and join us for Thanksgiving Thursdays, a mid-week Facebook Live Communion service, Thursdays at 6:30 pm. You will want to prepare by having some juice and bread or crackers for our brief 20 minute time together. The TVC Ministry Leadership Team will lead us in this simple but meaningful service that culminates with partaking of the Lord’s Supper.
If you do not have Facebook or prefer to view the service another way, you can join this service at thevillagechapel.com.
Connect For Virtual Coffee offers an opportunity for two women or two men to meet virtually one-to-one to walk through life. As our culture shifts and loneliness becomes more pervasive, so does the need to connect within the Body of Christ. Connect For Virtual Coffee connects older Coffee Hosts with younger Coffee Guests for the purpose of encouraging and nurturing a daily walk of faith. This opportunity is open to those committed to TVC as their home church. Learn more at thevillagechapel.com/coffee.
As we continue to exercise caution and discernment in this season out of a spirit of brotherly love and care, we will continue hosting services exclusively online through the next several weeks. Visit thevillagechapel.com or Facebook.com/thevillagechapelnashville at any time on Sunday morning to stream the service from your own home. You can learn more about how to stream our services here.
During this time, we have been sharing some new content to continue to keep us united and growing as a congregation. Each morning, Pastor Jim has been sharing brief daily devotions highlighting some of his favorite readings and teachings.

Follow @tvckidsnashville on Instagram to view these daily updates.
Our TVC Worship Team has also been sharing a live video every Wednesdays playing some of the hymns we enjoy singing together as a congregation. These videos are featured on our Facebook and Instagram pages as well as our website. You can also continue checking these pages for weekly sermon quotes, Spotify playlists and more.
