A Word of Welcome from our Pastor
Welcome to East Brentwood Presbyterian Church! On behalf of all who worship, learn and grow, and serve in this community of faith, let me encourage you to discover more about this congregation and its ministry. In fact, many of those who have worshiped and done all those other things here longer than I have will probably be of more help to you than I can right now. I became Pastor at East Brentwood on November 1, 2011, so there is still much that I’m discovering about it. What I have discovered so far is a warm and inviting community of faith full of gifts God has gathered here to proclaim the Good News of God’s love and care for us and to invite all who seek to experience those gifts to join us as we discover them together.
If you are new to our community and searching for a community to support and encourage you on your journey, I hope you will want to know more about East Brentwood Presbyterian Church. Located at the busy intersection of Concord Road and Wilson Pike, we are centrally located to the bustling Brentwood area and worth the drive from farther away. This website can serve as an introduction to us and our ministry, but the best way to get to know us and to let us get to know you is to visit. We hope you will.
Worship is at 8:30 and 11:00 am on Sundays. Sunday School groups for all ages meet at 9:45 am. Lots of different activities for people of all ages, from preschoolers to senior adults happen throughout the week. We hope you’ll join us for worship and other activities soon.
If I, personally, can be of service to you, please be in touch at ebpcpastor@comcast.net
or 615-370-4227. I look forward to welcoming you to East Brentwood soon.
Grace and Peace,
Bob Phelps

Super Bowl Party
Are you ready for some football? Your favorite NFL team might still be alive or perhaps they never made it out of the stable. You might not even care who is in the big game but would love a chance to socialize with your EBPC friends, get to know some new faces and/or indulge in the abundant buffet and spirits that accompany the annual February event. Yes, it’s Super Bowl time once again and you are invited February 5th to view the sporting extravaganza at the home of Liz and Yarnell Beatty (1 Carmel Lane, Brentwood – Governor’s Club subdivision). Everyone is asked to bring a culinary contribution as well as a beverage of your choice (wine, beer or a non-alcoholic drink) for the community table. Please RSVP to The Beatty’s at aybeatty@comcast.net or 819-0553. Directions can be provided upon request. Kick-off is at 5:30 p.m.; however, the “gates” will open to the indoor tailgating at 4:30 p.m.
