OUR
STORY
The church began in 1993 in the home of Pastor Gary and Helen Mink, where the church was named New Testament Church. Pastor Mink found a “round building” in Goodlettsville where the church could meet for the next 3 years. In 1997, the church relocated to a beautiful piece of property with a house that was remodeled to fit the needs of the church. Although it was their intention to build a church in Goodlettsville, the Lord led them to Bethel Road in Millersville, where there was 4 acres of open land.
In 2009, the church was built in its existing location. In 2013, a beautiful fellowship hall and Sunday school classrooms were added.
​
In February 2023, the church welcomed Pastor Jonathan and Brandi Denton. The church was renamed The Way. Helen Mink went on to meet her eternal reward June 2023. Pastor Gary Mink followed her the next year, September 2024. While this left us with heavy hearts, the church continued to grow and has been blessed with many new members.
​
March 1st, 2026 The Way established five elders that encourage. strengthen and hold Pastor Jonathan and Brandi accountable. These elders consist of Ron Denton, Dwayne Abernathy, Dan Mink, and Kevin Gammons. The Way also approved Pastor Matt and Maren Perdue as an outside elder to provide wisdom in handling the interest of the church and the pastors.
​
The summer of 2026 will be a year of expansion with added classrooms for our expanding Sunday School and educational department.
​
While the vision of The Way may expand, the values of the house will always stay the same. Our vision is to see the Kingdom of God grow both locally, nationally and globally. We want to see Christ lifted high and the name of Jesus famous in our community, country and world.
