About the Location: 

The original campus and the Stewarts Creek campus of LifePoint Church are both located in Smyrna. It is the 15th largest community in the State of Tennessee, and a medium-sized town located in the greater Murfreesboro-Nashville metro region. It is a town with a blended workforce, consisting of both blue-collar and white-collar professionals. Of particular interest, is that Smyrna has more people who work in areas related to computers and math than 95% of the places in the US. Smyrna is an ethnically diverse town, and the people who call Smyrna home describe themselves as belonging to various racial and ethnic groups.

 

Another of the LifePoint campuses is located in the Murfreesboro area. Its dedication to creating ‘a better quality of life’ landed the city on the Top 100 Places to Live in Money Magazine. A fast-growing major city in one of the fastest growing regions in the nation, Murfreesboro is a vibrant place with an expanding job base and a low cost of living. Its public schools are consistently ranked among the best in the state, and the city is home to Middle Tennessee State University, the largest undergraduate institution in Tennessee.

 

All three of these campuses are located a short 30-minute drive from Nashville, commonly referred to as ‘Music City’. With the proximity to Nashville, residents are close to the cultural, entertainment and educational opportunities offered in a large city, including professional and big time collegiate sports. The middle Tennessee area is known for its parks, lakes, and rolling hills that satisfy the needs of any outdoor enthusiast and contribute to an environment in which it is fun and rewarding to live, work and play.

 

Nashville is best known as the home of country music, but is also a city that inspires creativity and innovation in almost every aspect of its community. In addition to offering amenities of larger cities with great shopping, restaurants, and a world-class airport, prominent places like the Grand Ole Opry, Music Row, The Bluebird Café and Opryland Hotel draw millions to the city on a regular basis. With a population of a little over 1.6 million people, the city is the capital of Tennessee and home to two great educational institutions: Belmont University and Vanderbilt University.

It consistently ranks among the lowest for cost of living in comparable cities across the nation, ranking more cost efficient than major nearby regions. What sets Nashville apart as a great place to live and raise a family, are its outstanding quality of life, solid education, famous southern hospitality, abundant leisure activities, temperate climate, and the country-cosmopolitan vibe.
