Otter Creek Kindergarten Nursery School is here to reach out to students at all the universities in Nashville.
We want to meet your needs. While we serve you, we want to help you serve others.
Our goal is to see students actively involved in the work at Otter Creek, using their gifts to contribute to the work of the local church.
We also want to be there for you as you struggle with the problems that come with college life.
We do that primarily through College Life Groups, which are the heart of our ministry.
Our Sunday PM College Life Groups provide an intimate environment of sharing, praying for each other and accountability.
The college ministry also provides lots of fellowship opportunities including picnics, camping trips, progressive dinners, parties and movie nights.
We have a great time, grow closer together in Christ, and invite others who aren't connected with a church body.
