First Baptist Church Capitol Hill

When

If you are not staying at the camp for the week, you will meet at The Fortress at Deer Run (3845 Perkins Road, Thompson’s Station, TN 37179) at 11:45am Monday April 20. We have a handful of commuters. If you change your mind to stay at the camp, call the national office to add that to your registration. It will be based on availability at the camp. We will finish at 4:00pm each day. Commuters are encouraged to stay for dinner and worship on Monday since you’re already at the camp on Monday evening. The cost is $22 per person for dinner and the liability insurance Deer Run requires. Parents are also invited to join us. You will be finished by 8:30pm to head home. You’re also welcome to join us the other evenings even though class will be downtown Nashville. For the remainder of the week (Tuesday onward), you will join us at First Baptist Church Capitol Hill in downtown Nashville at 9:45am. Enter the parking lot from Gay Street. Enter the building at the side entrance where the steps go down into the building.  Remember your nametag to get past security at the Capitol. You will receive your nametag at Deer Run when you check in for the first day of class. Our room is to the left when you come to a hallway. (No nametag = no entrance!!) If you’re parking for the day, use the parking lot next to the church. (This is our first time using this church venue. Please be patient as we figure things out on the first day.)

For arrival at the camp, use the gate at 3883 Perkins Road, Thompsons’s Station, TN. It is a large, black wrought-iron gate. When you go down that driveway (a bit steep and hilly), you will see Brookside Barn on your right which is where you will check in.

To exit, use the gate near our founder’s home. Once you leave Brookside Barn, you will turn left to go up the camp road, like you’re going to The Summit, but continue straight. You’ll pass a white house on the left, and the gate is just a bit further down that road. It will open automatically when you approach it.

Any further details will be communicated by your State Coordinator, via email, prior to the event.
