Honoring the Legacy. Building for the Future.

Dear Friend,

At Inspiritus, we believe that every square foot of space we occupy should serve a greater purpose. That’s why the redevelopment of our North Nashville campus is more than a project—it’s a commitment to honor the original intent of this sacred ground. 

We were fortunate to secure our property at the corner of Rosa L. Parks Boulevard and Garfield Street—the former site of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church—thanks to the Southeastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Their dedication to Christ's call to love our neighbors as ourselves made this opportunity possible. 

We are deeply grateful for their trust, and we recognize our responsibility to carry that vision forward. This land was entrusted to us with the hope that it would continue to serve the community—and we are determined to make sure it does. 

This is a space designed for community—built from the legacy of service, shaped by love for our neighbors, and sustained by the belief that North Nashville deserves lasting investment. 

We hope you’ll join us as we break ground on a future rooted in respect for the past and commitment to what’s ahead.
