The Fellows Experience

Community | Instruction | Formation | Imagination

The Charter Class of Franklin Fellows has been working, studying, serving and connecting – building bridges that will help them glorify God for the rest of their lives life. Fellows spend their time in paid internships, graduate study, service in the church and the community and spending time in Franklin and Nashville, building enduring friendships with other Fellows.

Our fearless leader’s face (now lovingly coined “Big Mike”) says it all…our last weekend retreat at Story Brooke was incredible!! We spent the weekend eating enourmous amounts of breakfast food (can I get an AMEN for breakfast for dinner?! 🍳), enjoying crisp fall mornings outside and reflecting on our lives in times of silence and solitude, and sharing laughs and parts of our stories with our beloved counselors Kyle and Janet. “Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: ‘What! You, too? I thought I was the only one’” – C.S. Lewis
