Lead Pastors
Jake + Nicole Sweetman
Location Pastors
Steve + Ami Stewart
Steve and Ami met on the other side of the world, back in 2007, while studying at C3 College in Sydney, Australia. Steve, originally from NC and Ami, from England, have 3 phenomenal kids: Asher, Finley and Tallulah.
Over the last 20 years, the Stewarts have had the opportunity to serve in C3 churches across three different continents, leading in a variety of ministry roles including kids, youth and young adult ministries, production, administration, pastoral care, leadership development and as executive pastors.
After living in the Atlanta area for 11 years, they relocated their family to Nashville in the Summer of 2019 to launch C3 Nashville, a dream God put in their hearts almost 7 years prior, to help people live a life under the Lordship of Jesus and in doing so, discover the impact they were designed to have on the world around them.
