WOODBURY, Tenn. – The Experience Community will be starting a new church branch in Woodbury, Tennessee, starting this fall with the hope of building a stronger community in Cannon County.

In early January, the head pastor for the Experience Community, Corey Trimble, announced that Josh Brooker will be taking up the role as head pastor of the future church branch in Woodbury. He will assume the new role in late Aug., 2017.

Brooker grew up up in Dalton, Georgia, then moved to Florida to study at South Eastern College.After graduating college, Brooker met his wife and moved to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, to become a teacher at Blackman high school. Brooker started attending and leading worship at the Experience Community at 521 Old Salem Road in 2009.

“In 2013, I left teaching at Blackman and took on the role as executive pastor,” Brooker said. ”That kind of evolved into my becoming more of an associate pastor. I started covering for Corey. I did weddings, funerals, counseling people. For about four years that’s what I’ve been doing. And now here we are.”

The Experience Community church branch will be opening in the Cannon County Community church building located at 209 Murfreesboro Road in Woodbury.

“The building is going have a praise team, a children’s ministry, and hospitality ministry,” Brooker said. “The building can hold around 200 people. We’re going to start with two services on Sundays at 9 a.m. and a 11 a.m.”

The Experience Community has been growing rapidly since 2013 with a following of several thousand members. The Christian community is impacting Murfreesboro with its charity work and unique way of teaching and going through the Bible chapter by chapter. The new church branch plans to get involved with the community project called We Care Cannon, which helps provide school supplies,doctor check-ups and clothing for children and families who can’t afford them. The church will give out food boxes to needy families.

           

The new Woodbury campus will launch on Aug. 27 this year. For more information about the Experience Community Church, visit www.experiencecc.com
