Proclaiming Christ | Resting in Him
How we got started
The Way started as a small, house church plant in the fall of 2010 through the vision and call of our founding elder Scott Dollar. After growing out of our home church, we began meeting regularly for morning worship services in September 2011 at West Creek Middle School in Clarksville. We have since moved to a physical location that we presently share with Eternal Living Waters Korean Baptist Church on Tiny Town Rd. though we still maintain our house church gatherings.
On June 21st, 2020, the Way appointed our very first deacons as a church.
On April 18th, 2021, the Way constituted as a church of the Tennessee Baptist Mission Board, no longer a church plant.

In 2022, the Way began to pray for a pastor to plant a church at the Heart of Christ ministry in Caja De Agua and also to set aside provision. In 2023, the Lord blessed us with Pastor Rafael. The church in Caja de Agua began to meet in the summer of 2023 and on November 12th, 2023, a team from the Way appointed Rafael and TJ as the first two elders of Iglesia Bautista El Calvario.

Right at one year after our first visit to Lima, we returned again to encourage the saints. The church is thriving and they are praying about a new location at the base of the mountain.
